Film & Television

The world beneath the words.

A feature film and an episodic series, shot on location in the lands of the Bible — so the places, culture, and context of Scripture come alive on screen.

The Lord's Prayer The Sacred Thread

Why We Film

99.9% of people will never set foot in the ancient world of the Bible.

So we bring that world to them. Filmed on location across biblical lands and shaped by insights from leading scholars, our media projects bring you as close as possible to the world beneath the words.

The Lord's Prayer • Feature Film

The film that started it all

A cinematic journey through the ancient world to experience the Lord’s Prayer as never before. Hosted by Brad Gray and featuring N.T. Wright and other leading scholars, the film traces the prayer back to the landscapes where Jesus first taught it — revealing its meaning inside its original cultural and historical setting.

Far more than a familiar recitation, the prayer emerges as the heartbeat of the gospel: a practical call to live God’s kingdom here and now. From executive producer Mark Burnett.

What People Are Saying

“The Lord’s Prayer film and series are the first of their kind. Never has this prayer been explained in its original context through such a beautiful, premium documentary format. I believe in and support this project. The cinematography is spectacular. The content is exceptional.”

Mark Burnett

Executive Producer - Shark Tank, The Voice, Survivor

“The Lord’s Prayer film and The Sacred Thread Season One are beautifully crafted—clear, compelling, and spiritually rich. They take one of the most familiar passages in Scripture and open it up with fresh depth and reverence. This draws people from simply reciting the prayer to truly understanding and living it, and draws viewers from familiarity into awe, from recitation to relationship.”

Mart Green

Hobby Lobby Ministry Investment Officer

“The Lord’s Prayer offers theologically rich and biblically rigorous content, enlightening and inspiring viewers. Prominent Bible scholars offer academically accurate explanations of the prayer’s connections with the Old Testament and first century A.D. cultural realities. These compelling insights illuminate the Lord’s Prayer in spiritually rich ways, confirming Jesus’s prayer as the most powerful words about God’s love for his creation and all people.”

Dr. Lynn Cohick

Distinguished Professor of New Testament at Houston Christian University

“The Lord’s Prayer is a compelling film that challenges our tendency to read Scripture through the lens of our own experience. Although this prayer is well-known and often quoted, its depth and richness are easily overlooked.

By drawing together the biblical story behind Jesus’ words, the film reveals a fuller tapestry of meaning that expands our understanding and reshapes our hearts. It helps us move from merely reciting the prayer to truly living it—becoming faithful conduits of God’s mission and genuine representatives of His Kingdom. We wholeheartedly recommend it.”

Dr. John and Kelly Chesnut

President & CEO, Wycliffe Bible Translators

“The Lord’s Prayer film and series delve deep into theology and history to provide important new insights into the power and beauty of this familiar prayer. Viewers walk away not only with a better understanding of the intricate meaning layered throughout the Lord’s prayer, but also with a deeper love of our Savior who shared it.”
