About Scripture Space

Scripture Space began as a personal attempt to solve a simple problem.

I wanted a way to deepen my understanding of Scripture without losing the thoughts, questions, and insights that came along the way. Over time, those moments were coming from many places. Reading Scripture. Listening to it in audio. Sermons. Christian books. Podcasts. Conversations. Even small observations during the day that felt spiritually meaningful.

Some ideas were written down. Many were not. Often the hardest part was not knowing where they should go or what kind of system to use in the first place.

I explored a wide range of approaches, including notebooks, writing in a Bible, journaling Bibles, and digital tools like OneNote, Obsidian, and YouVersion. Each option helped in some ways, but also created new problems. Notes became scattered. Systems became complicated to maintain. Some tools were difficult to adapt or share. Other approaches made it hard to connect insights across time.

Instead of helping me focus more on Scripture, I found myself spending more time trying to manage a system.

Because I was already using Google Drive and Google Docs, I began building a structure there instead. It was simple enough to use immediately, flexible enough to grow over time, and familiar enough that it did not require learning a new platform.

If I wrote notes in a Bible and eventually gave that Bible to one of my sons, what about the other? If I kept insights in notebooks, how would I ever reconnect them years later? If something I learned in Titus could help someone else, how would I share it without losing it myself?

Scripture Space became a way to keep those insights connected, accessible, and shareable over time. While building it, it became clear that the challenges I was trying to solve were not unique to me. Many people want to take their study of Scripture seriously but feel unsure where to begin or how to organize what they are learning.

Scripture Space is shared freely because the hope behind it is simple. That more people would have a place to return to as they read Scripture, record insights, ask questions, and continue growing in wisdom year after year.
