Between the Verses

Scripture, explained in the passage it belongs to.

Long explainers Shorts

Between the Verses is the teaching channel beside the app: longer videos that walk a chapter in context, and Shorts for a smaller window into the same work. The app’s “Watch explanation” row uses the longs, not the Shorts.

Between the Verses channel banner: dusk hills, an open book and sun, and the line The story between the lines. Between the Verses @BetweenTheVersesYT

These three longs are the ones published in btv-longs.json. The pictures are the thumbnails on those videos. More will show up here as they are added to that map.

Shorts live on the same channel. Individual Short URLs are not listed in the repo, so this page does not invent them.

About

We walk with people.

Josh and Abby D’Alessio built After the Verse so someone could understand Scripture more deeply and know Jesus more closely. Every other feature serves that. Between the Verses is the same aim, said out loud.

If the work helps you, use it, share it with someone, and say what would make it better. The hope is to license more translations over time. The Bible text in the app today is the Berean Standard Bible, which is in the public domain. Study notes are original.

All glory belongs to God.
