What Are Faith Coordinates?

When you think of a Bible verse, you probably picture it in the traditional way: Book, Chapter #, Verse #. At Thy Kingdom Come Supply Co., I’ve reimagined that reference into something fresh and memorable: Faith Coordinates.

Faith Coordinates are alpha-numeric representations of Scripture..unique combinations of numbers and words that point to a specific verse in the Bible. For example:

• FOUR13 = Philippians 4:13 (I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.)
• 1NINE = 1 John 1:9 (If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us…)

It’s the same truth from God’s Word, but presented in a way that’s modern, subtle, and unforgettable.

Why I Use Faith Coordinates

1. They Are Unique

I’ve never seen anyone refer to Scripture quite like this. Faith Coordinates are distinctive. They don’t just blend into the crowd of Christian apparel designs. When you see FOUR13 or 1NINE, you know it’s more than a number. It’s a meaningful marker, pointing you back to the living Word of God.

2. Helps with Memorizing Scripture

I believe in the importance of memorizing Scripture. When life challenges you, you might not have time to search your Bible app or thumb through your Bible. Memorizing Scripture is like a soldier preparing for battle… you don’t wait until the fight starts to figure out how to use your weapon. You train, you practice, and you keep it ready so when the moment comes, you can respond without hesitation.

In the same way, we hide God’s Word in our hearts (Psalm 119:11) before the trials come, so we can draw it instantly when we need strength, wisdom, or comfort. You might not always have your Bible app or a printed Bible in hand, but when Scripture lives inside you, it’s always within reach.

Faith Is More Than Words

That’s why I love using Faith Coordinates in these designs. They’re like spiritual “call signs”…short, memorable verse references you can recall in an instant. Instead of searching, you already know where to turn. With the image of FOUR13 engrained in your mind, you can immediately draw strength from: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13).

Faith Coordinates are catchy, easy to store in your memory bank, and help make Scripture a part of your everyday thinking.

3. They Are Subtle

Not every witness has to be loud to be powerful. Some Faith Coordinates are designed to be low-profile. They might look like a sleek, modern design element to someone who doesn’t know the meaning.

Maybe a coworker notices the cursive 1nine on the sleeve of your Not Perfect, Forgiven Sweatshirt and asks, “What does that mean?”

Suddenly, your clothing has opened the door for you to share the Gospel. Faith Coordinates are for you… a reminder of God’s Word throughout the day. But they’re also for the people around you. They spark curiosity and create opportunities to talk about Jesus.

Wear the Word. Share the Word.

Faith Coordinates are more than design choices.. they’re tools for encouragement, Scripture memorization, and ministry. They let you carry God’s truth in a way that is stylish, distinctive, and ready for any moment when someone asks, “What does that mean?”

Whether it’s FOUR13 to remind you of Christ’s strength, or 1NINE to remind you of His forgiveness, each Faith Coordinate is a small but powerful seed of Scripture ready to be planted in your heart and in the hearts of others.
