About Every Verse Matters
EveryVerseMatters.com is a continuing gospel education platform for adult members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It provides deep, verse-by-verse scripture commentary running parallel to the Come, Follow Me curriculum.
The Problem
The Church's CES program — Seminary and Institute — effectively ends at age 35. Come, Follow Me has become the centerpiece of member scripture study since 2019, and dozens of podcasts, blogs, and YouTube channels produce content weekly. But no single member can consume it all, and no single creator can synthesize every dimension for every verse.
The Old Testament — the 2026 curriculum — is where members struggle most and need the deepest support.
The Solution
For every verse in the week's reading, EVM provides narrative commentary, Hebrew word studies, cross-references across all Standard Works, Ancient Near Eastern historical context, JST revisions, Book of Mormon parallels, General Conference quotes, Christological typology, and practical application. No single human creator can cover all these dimensions in a weekly production cycle. AI can — for every verse, every week.
Alongside the AI commentary, EVM catalogs the best third-party CFM content — Scripture Central, Follow Him, Don't Miss This, and more — indexed by verse, with links and attribution. We drive traffic to creators, never replace them.
Historical Inspiration
This platform carries the spiritual legacy of the School of the Prophets (D&C 88), established by Joseph Smith in Kirtland, Ohio in 1833 — the Church's first adult continuing education program where leaders studied theology, Hebrew, history, and the mysteries of the kingdom. EVM is a modern digital continuation of that tradition.
Built By
EveryVerseMatters.com is built by a Latter-day Saint returned missionary and software engineer who believes that deep scripture study shouldn't end when Institute does.
"And I give unto you a commandment that you shall teach one another the doctrine of the kingdom. Teach ye diligently and my grace shall attend you." — D&C 88:77-78
