Founder and CEO

Micah Fiechter

Micah Fiechter is the Founder and CEO of The Music Bible®, the first complete word-for-word musical Bible in Christian history.

The vision began in December 2024, when Micah’s father played his first Scripture song for his congregation. What started as one song became a conviction: if one passage could be sung, every word of Scripture could be. Micah founded The Music Bible to pursue that calling, and within a year the team had completed what no generation before could: 2,754 songs carrying every word of the Bible, Genesis to Revelation. Since launching in 2025, the app has spread organically to listeners in over 100 countries.

Micah’s vision is generational: every word of Scripture, across every genre, in the world’s most spoken languages, free to anyone with a phone. He believes music stands as a fourth medium for God’s Word alongside print, spoken audio, and sign language, so that Scripture is not only read and heard, but sung, remembered, and hidden in the heart.

Before founding The Music Bible, Micah built his early career in software sales. He holds a Bachelor’s in Biblical Studies from Moody Bible Institute and lives in Nashville, Tennessee, where he is a member of Immanuel Nashville.

He was named Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year in Services for the Pacific Northwest in 2010.

Jenkins brings a career shaped equally by business discipline and faith-driven purpose. He has served in board leadership roles with Axis, 11 Tribes Ventures, Impact Foundation, Young Life, and CRISTA Ministries, and holds a BA in Economics from the University of Washington and an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. His decades of experience building organizations, deploying capital, and serving faith-driven institutions give him a rare combination of relationships and credibility that he now brings to the work of The Music Bible®.
