We all know it doesn’t happen every time, but we when want it, and we pursue it – hard. When you’re in the gym, you’re in the zone. And when you’re totally spent you know what it feels like to have given 100%. The heart rate, the sweat, the push to the very end, the soar muscles you’re definitely going to have and ultimately that insatiable drive to do it all again – that’s your 100%! Now, if only you could rock that kind of mindset when it comes to your faith and you daily life in Jesus. Be honest, it’s easier to achieve a new personal record than it is to give 100% for Christ. And well it should be, because physical gains are temporal. Spiritual gains last more than a lifetime – they transform the future of eternity. So, put your ear buds in, your headphones on or better yet, crank it way up on a speaker with a good base. This is MusicBible and it’s workout music for your 100%.
IT’S AN APP, IT’S AI, AND IT’S ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!
The Bible can now be heard in hip-hop, jazz, country and of course, workout music after AI was used to turn every verse of Scripture into song – without changing one word.
MusicBible features more than 30,000 songs and is the world’s first complete, unedited, verse-by-verse Bible in song app. One of the largest AI-assisted music projects in history, it offers the full Bible across 11 genres in English and three in Spanish, with more languages and musical styles on the way.
The free app is the brainchild of 28-year-old Nashville entrepreneur Micah Fiechter who was initially asked by his dad – a pastor – to turn one chapter of the Bible into music for a sermon illustration.
“Dad asked if I could work on 1 John 4 and it sort of just went from there,” Micah explains. “What’s unique about MusicBible is that we don’t edit the text at all. We don’t change Scripture to fit music; we change music to fit Scripture.
The Bible was never meant to sit quietly on a shelf. It was meant to be heard. If someone can memorize the lyrics to a pop song, why shouldn’t they be able to memorize Scripture the same way? I don’t want people to remember MusicBible, I want them to remember the Bible.”
Nashville music veteran Michael Blanton – who has sold 70 million records and launched artists such as Amy Grant, Michael W Smith and Rich Mullins – has joined MusicBible as Executive Producer.
He is helping oversee the musical integrity of the platform and its relationships with artists, as MusicBible looks beyond its AI-created catalogue to establish a new genre of word-for-word Scripture songs recorded by musicians.
He said: “I believe MusicBible has the potential to become one of the biggest developments in the music industry’s history, not only showing the creative power of AI for Bible engagement but launching a new wave of artists recording verse-by-verse Scripture songs.
I’ve spent my career launching recording artists and tours. MusicBible may be the most significant project yet given its global impact and worldwide potential.”
LET ALL THAT POTENTIAL TAKE YOUR NEXT WORKOUT BEYOND THE MAX
Take that phone of yours, go to your app store, get MusicBible and build a play list of scripture that will fuel your workouts. Then keep doing it to become more familiar with how the words from the Bible shape your motivation, your thinking and your spirit. Don’t just keep it to yourself.
The Bible is a powerful tool to help others in so many ways. In our video above Joe Pringle shares how playlists can be created then shared with others to address specific needs and more.
Finally, as we share in the Faith & Fitness Magazine article, Just Doin’ My Thing, be sure some of your workouts are distraction or audio free and instead intentionally active prayer and fellowship with others in your gym. In other words shift from “Do not disturb” to “use me God”.
And, don't just listen alone during your workouts. MusicBible is a really great way to enjoy music and share the Bible with others when you travel, garden, do outdoor activities and more.
The MusicBible app can be downloaded for free on iOS and Android. See www.themusicbible.org for more.
