You know you should be memorizing Scripture — but between choosing what to memorize, finding the discipline to stick with it, and actually understanding what you're reading, the whole thing feels overwhelming before you even start. Malachi Daily meets you right there, delivering one Bible passage every other week straight to your inbox with a brilliantly simple method: each day, more words disappear from the verse, and your brain fills in the gaps.^1
The approach is rooted in brain science — the fill-in-the-blank technique requires just the right amount of effort to move Scripture from short-term to long-term memory, all in about a minute or two per day. But Malachi Daily goes deeper than rote memorization. Throughout each two-week cycle, emails dive into the original Hebrew and Greek, connect the passage to other parts of Scripture, and show how to apply it to everyday life. A companion podcast (5–9 minutes per episode) unpacks the context behind each verse, and a free interactive web app lets you practice with push notifications that work like daily texts.^2
Co-founded by Kieran Lenahan — a husband, father of four, and coach to faith-driven entrepreneurs in New Jersey — alongside Isaac Hanekamp, Malachi Daily started as a text-message service and evolved into a newsletter-plus-web-app experience after a community member (and now team member) volunteered to build the web app in under two weeks.^3 The name 'Malachi' means 'messenger of God' — and that's exactly what they do: send you messages from God's Word, every day.^1
Why Christians Love Malachi Daily: "As a toddler mom I love that it's simple and doesn't take a lot of time! I'm memorizing more Scripture than I ever have and the emails are great reminders of God's presence. My favorite part has been helping my kids start to learn God's Word with me!" — Dana L., stay-at-home mom and speech therapist^1
Kate F., a physical therapy PhD student, shared: "My husband and I love this! Malachi Daily removes all the friction — like choosing what to memorize and scheduling it into our day — so we can just focus on getting Scripture into our hearts. We've shared this with all of our friends!"^1 Another subscriber, Kyle B., a graphic designer and worship drummer, put it simply: "It's such a fun way to memorize Scripture! I think a lot of people feel like they should be memorizing Bible verses, but are quickly overwhelmed at the idea of starting. Malachi Daily just makes it really easy."^1
Available in multiple translations (NIV, ESV, KJV, NLT, MSG, NKJV, NET) and now in Spanish (RV1960, NVI, NTV), with over 70 passages memorized by the community so far.^4
