Tap or click a lightbulb icon to turn on the lights and reveal cross-references, commentaries, and more. It’s that simple. And you can turn on as many lights as you want without having to worry about wasting electricty. They’re LED bulbs.
No more needing to hover over just the right spot to see a cross-reference—or having to open up a bunch of tabs, windows, and panes. All references expand right underneath what you're reading, even footnotes in the catechisms and confessions. Pane free!
Many verses feature “References to This Verse” – A tool that shows you resources that mention the verse you’re studying. For example, when the Westminster Shorter Catechism uses the verse you’re studying as a proof-text, you can see that catechism question and where it’s referenced quickly and easily.
Relight was born out of a passion we both share to get reformed theology into more people’s hands. We wanted to make a tool that reformed pastors could use themselves and confidently recommend to their congregations. And we’re just getting started.
We have big dreams for Relight. Commentaries, catechisms, confessions—even things that don’t start with ‘c,’ like systematic theologies, sermons, and original language tools. We’re releasing each part as we finish it, and we need your feedback to help shape the app.
We’re a small husband-and-wife team of two confessionally reformed Presbyterians, creating the study app that we wanted to be able to use. Because why not? David is the one with the beard, the brains behind the code, and resident typography specialist. Sarah is the graphic designer, our quality assurance specialist, and she also manages social media.
Did you know that millennials are 84% more likely to check their Instagram inbox than their email inbox? We made that up. But if you want to watch behind the scenes stories, keep up with new releases, see beautifully typeset quotes, and even slide a DM into our inbox, you can do that and so much more on Instagram.
We’re a husband and wife team making this app as what we kids call a “side hustle.” We make YouTube videos about the app, new features, and our experiences getting this thing off the ground. We typically avoid reading YouTube comments for mental health reasons, but we’ll read yours. Honest.
If you’re about 60 years old (at least at heart), you may prefer to receive updates the same way you get your milk, delivered to your house every Thursday at 6am. We really can’t do that. But we have the next best thing: emails! We only send out emails 1–2x per month, so it’ll still be easy for you to find your birdwatching bulletins.

Europe probably wants us to say lots of stuff here. But basically, if you give us your email, we’ll have it. We promise not to give it to other people or to robots, especially robots. And we promise to get rid of it if you ask us to.
