The feature

What is it?

Some days you're not drilling a portion. You're asking what God's Word says about the thing you're actually going through. Topics have you covered: five themed shelves at launch (Salvation, Faith, Prayer, Anxiety & peace, and Wisdom), each one a curated stack of verses ('Casting your cares on God') you can browse in one place, in canonical order, in whatever translation you picked.

Every verse connects outward too. Curated cross-references walk you from one passage to its relatives (Philippians 4:6 leads you on to Philippians 4:7, 1 Peter 5:7, and Matthew 6:34), and context notes set the scene: Paul, writing from prison, telling the Philippians to trade worry for prayer. Many verses even carry an application prompt, like 'What anxiety can you bring to God in prayer right now?', so the words you memorize never drift away from what they mean.

And the quizzer move: any topic becomes a study deck in one tap. See a theme you want to own? Tap 'Create study deck' and the whole shelf is drillable in all 14 study modes. That's it. That's the whole tutorial.

  • Five launch themes: Salvation, Faith, Prayer, Anxiety & peace, and Wisdom
  • Curated cross-references link every verse to its related passages: the map's already drawn
  • Context notes and application prompts keep every verse tied to its setting and its meaning
  • One tap on 'Create study deck' and any topic shelf becomes a drillable deck
  • The reflect view puts a verse's context, application prompt, and related passages on one calm page
  • Works in your translation: every topic shows up in the version you chose

Step by step

How you'll use it

If you're a quizzer

Rough week. You want the peace verses. All of them.

  1. Open a topic

    Head to Anxiety & peace and scroll the shelf: Philippians 4:6–7, Matthew 6:34, 1 Peter 5:7, John 14:27, Isaiah 41:10. Gathered, in order, waiting for you.

  2. Follow the threads

    Tap a verse's cross-references and walk from Philippians into 1 Peter into Matthew. The connections are already mapped. You just follow them.

  3. Make it a deck

    Hit 'Create study deck' and the whole shelf turns drillable in every study mode, with your progress tracked verse by verse.

  4. Reflect on the keepers

    Open the reflect view on the verse that hit hardest: the context note, an application prompt, the related passages. No rush. No timer.

If you're a church leader

Wednesday's lesson is on prayer, and you want the group in the text, not just near it.

  1. Build from a topic

    Open the Prayer topic and let its shelf (Philippians 4:6, 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Matthew 6:9, James 5:16) be your lesson's Scripture backbone. The gathering work is already done.

  2. Hand the group a deck

    Tap 'Create study deck' on the topic and ask everyone to drill it before next week: one tap for you, a ready-made deck for them.

  3. Teach the connections

    Walk the cross-references together to show how the theme runs across both testaments. The map is already drawn, so you just lead the tour.

  4. Close with application

    End on a verse's application prompt (a curated question like 'What anxiety can you bring to God in prayer right now?') and give the group room to sit with it.

Quick questions

Good to know

What are topics in Memr.is?

Topics are curated collections of verses organized by theme: Salvation, Faith, Prayer, Anxiety & peace, and Wisdom at launch. Each topic is a shelf of verses in canonical order that you can browse verse by verse in your chosen translation and turn into a study deck with one tap.

Can I turn a topic into something I can study?

Yes. Every topic page has a one-tap 'Create study deck' action. The topic's verses become a deck you can drill in all 14 study modes, with progress tracked for every verse.

What are cross-references and context notes?

Cross-references are curated links between related passages: Philippians 4:6, for example, connects onward to Philippians 4:7, 1 Peter 5:7, and Matthew 6:34. Context notes set the scene around a verse, and many verses include an application prompt to reflect on. Together they keep memorization anchored to meaning, not just words.
