# If you feel X, read Y cheat sheet

A faith and spirituality format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/faith-and-spirituality/if-you-feel-x-read-y-cheat-sheet

Turn the Bible into a lookup index that matches a mood or life struggle to specific chapters or books. It worked for 4 accounts, with a median of 8x their usual reach. Type: Angle. Seen as: Slideshow, Talking head.

## Why it works

Viewers can spot their own situation right away and screenshot the one answer that fits. Pastor Morris, Sophia Kazakov, Heaven Digitals and Fav Sis all used this and it pulled saves.

## How to make it

1. List 4-7 common struggles or emotions such as anxiety, procrastination or loneliness
2. Pair each one with an exact chapter or book
3. Show the pairs as a persistent on-screen chart or one slide per struggle
4. Lead with a reassurance line or a 'what to read when...' header

## Hook formula

What to read in the Bible when you feel ___

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
