About This Tool

After years of memorising scriptures, I learned that it pays to repeat one section multiple times before moving on.

When I was a child I learned to play piano. We would practise the right hand first, multiple times, then the left hand, then both hands. Slowly at first, but repetition built the neural pathways needed to have this stick.

One common mistake I see with my students is that they try to remember things start to finish too quickly. They don't solidify and scaffold their memories. They rush through the verse instead of locking in each phrase.

That's why this tool reveals scripture one section at a time. You master a phrase before moving on. You can see ahead (the faint text), you can see what you're working on (the lighter text), and you can see what's locked in (the solid text). It's the right hand first, then the left, then both hands together.

In a world with AI, it's more important than ever for students to put in the effort to programme their minds with scriptures. The effort itself is the point. The struggle to recall is where the learning happens.

Memorising is the foundation of recall. And on top of that foundation, we can build understanding of the associated doctrines, the context, the connections between scriptures, and the personal application that makes them alive.
