Common questions

Who is it for

Long Story Short is for anyone curious to learn more about the story of the Bible and why Jesus is at the very heart of the plot line.

How can I use it

You can watch the series on your own, with a friend, or in a group.

What is the “explained series”

The “Explained Series” is a nine-episode video series introducing the viewer to the primary storyline of the Bible. As we travel all over the world, we discover how the Bible is both God’s story and ours, and why Jesus is at the story’s very centre. Alongside each episode in the series, short Q&A videos provide clear answers to many relevant questions.

How can churches use LSS

Long Story Short is a relaxed journey through the biblical backstory that ends up leading to Jesus. So it's a great way for churches to introduce people to the Bible’s redemptive story and the good news of the Gospel. This can be done individually, one-on-one, or in a small group with a Leader’s Guide. See the Church Leaders section for more information.

What’s new?

The Explained series is a fresh update of Long Story Short’s original eleven-episode series which tells the story of the Bible even better than before. Now just nine episodes, the Explained series contains brand new footage, is faster-paced and even more clearly-focused on the key themes of the biblical story than before. We think you’re going to love it!

What does it cost?

Long Story Short is absolutely free to anyone, any time, anywhere. Why? Because we believe everyone should have an opportunity to hear and understand the greatest story ever told.
