Bible shorts — Short Bible Story Videos for Your Phone
Baeble is a Gen Z Bible app for iPhone and Android that lets teens scroll Scripture verse by verse, watch one-minute Bible story shorts and ask an AI Bible BFF questions; reading and daily verses are free, and Baeble Pro is $59.99 a year or $5.99 a week with a 7-day free trial.
Bible shorts are vertical, under-a-minute videos that each retell one Bible story, such as Creation, David & Goliath, Jonah, or Easter. Baeble's sacred shorts are free in the app, and this page adds a five-step reflection to use after watching one.

Example Bible story shorts
These seven stories are the kind of one-minute clips in Baeble’s Bible Watch feed. Each link opens the King James passage on Bible Gateway so you can check the clip against the chapter.
Creation
A one-minute clip of the world being set in order, day by day. The chapter still has the evening-and-morning refrain.
Read Genesis 1:1-2:3 (KJV)Noah and the ark
The boat, the flood, and the promise afterward. Read the dimensions and the covenant if the clip moves past them.
Read Genesis 6:9-9:17 (KJV)David and Goliath
A shepherd meets an armored champion. The chapter also includes the armor David tries on and then sets aside.
Read 1 Samuel 17 (KJV)Jonah
Flight, the fish, Nineveh, then Jonah’s anger. Chapter 4 is the part a short often leaves for later.
Read Jonah 1-4 (KJV)Daniel with the lions
A prayer ban, a sealed den, and a morning when Daniel is still alive.
Read Daniel 6 (KJV)The son who left home
A younger son spends his inheritance. The father runs out to meet him, and the older brother stays outside.
Read Luke 15:11-32 (KJV)The empty tomb
Women arrive and find the stone moved. This is the Easter morning scene, not the whole passion narrative.
Read Luke 24:1-12 (KJV)
A one-minute video and a five-minute reflection
After watching a short, write one sentence describing the story. Read its source passage, add one detail the video left out, and bring one question to a trusted teacher or study group.
Videos summarize and visualize; read the passage to check details. Read these story passages in KJV, or follow our seven-day Bible reading plan.
How do you reflect on a Bible short?
Use these five steps with any one-minute Bible short. They take about five minutes and work with a notes app or a sheet of paper.
1. Summarize it in one sentence
Right after watching, write who the story is about, what happens, and how it ends. Keep it to one sentence.
2. Read the source passage
Open the chapter the short came from and read it slowly. A short compresses the story; the passage gives the full sequence and dialogue.
3. Spot one difference
Note one detail the passage includes that the short left out, and one visual detail the short added that the text does not mention.
4. Write what it shows about God
Write one sentence about what the story shows about God, and copy the verse that supports it.
5. Bring one question
Write one question you still have and take it to a trusted Bible teacher, youth leader, or study group.
Example: a short about Jonah
- One sentence:
- Jonah runs from God’s call, is swallowed by a great fish, and finally preaches in Nineveh.
- Source:
- Jonah 1–4
- Left out of a short:
- Chapter 4, where Jonah is angry that God spares Nineveh.
- About God:
- God’s mercy reaches people Jonah did not want forgiven (Jonah 4:2).
- Question to bring:
- Why does the book end with God asking Jonah a question (Jonah 4:11)?
This worked example was written for this guide; it is not a transcript of an in-app video.
