Understands how pastors actually quote scripture
- Direct references: John 3:16, Romans chapter 8 verse 28
- Paraphrases: the Lord is my shepherd, bread of life, love is patient
- Context checks when a phrase could point to more than one passage
Kerygma listens to the service, recognizes Bible references and paraphrases, then routes the right verse into your existing screen workflow without making the booth fight the software.
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
KJVKerygma is designed around the live-service moment: hear the reference, find the verse, let the operator confirm it, then put it on screen cleanly.
Use offline Whisper, online Deepgram, or let the app fall back when the connection changes.
Explicit references are instant. Familiar quotations still land through vector search and context judging.
Ambiguous matches are held back or checked instead of sending the wrong verse to screen.
Send confirmed scripture to the projector, over NDI to your stream, or an OBS overlay, styled with your own theme.
Kerygma separates obvious references from softer scripture language. Direct citations can go straight to preview; paraphrases and unclear phrases are treated as candidates until the app has enough context to be useful.
Direct reference
"John 3:16", "Romans chapter 8 verse 28"
Familiar quotation
"the Lord is my shepherd" -> Psalm 23
Context check
Holds unclear matches until there is enough context
Detection, paraphrase recall, cross-references, theming, motion backgrounds, and streaming are all parts of one app, wired to a single local engine that listens to the service. Kerygma hears it once and powers every surface, so the booth runs one tool instead of five.
Set the active Bible version for the service and keep every detected passage in that same text. When a build has additional versions installed, the operator can switch without restarting the session.
"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want."
Psalm 23:1 - Active version
Used for live output during the service
Design the font, colour, shadow, and background of your live verses. The editor preview matches the projector and your stream exactly, so there are no surprises on screen. Save looks as themes and switch between them in a tap.

Preview first, then send live only when it is right. Show verses on the projector, broadcast them over NDI to OBS, vMix, or ProPresenter, or drop an OBS browser overlay onto your stream. Already running ProPresenter or EasyWorship? Kerygma steps aside and feeds them instead of fighting for the screen.
