063: Strategies for Memorizing with Children Aug 23, 2024

Psalm 127 teaches us that children are the heritage of the Lord and the fruit of the womb is His reward. How do we cherish and nurture these gifts from the Lord correctly? We do so by instructing them in His ways by teaching our children the Word. Scripture memory is a vital way for them to learn. It slows them down to hear it and naturally leads to meditation. Memorizing with children is often easier said than done. In this episode, our hosts will discuss various memorization techniques with them. Tune in to this episode to change your family generationally with God's Word.

062: The Art of Stumbling Forward Aug 09, 2024

Anything that's worth doing is worth doing poorly. If that sounds counter-intuitive, think of it this way: God's Word is so potent that it can impact our lives even when we aren't memorizing Scripture as quickly or as consistently as we'd like. SMF board member Chad Boss has been memorizing Scripture for more than a decade, and "stumbling forward" has been a key part of his long-term success. In this episode, Chad describes his recent experience memorizing Colossians and shares some of the valuable lessons he learned along the way.

058: Quiet Consistency (ft. Daniel Louis) Jun 07, 2024

Scripture memorization deserves to be a normal part of the Christian life. Yet, all too often, we view Bible memory as the spiritual equivalent of running a marathon. Since most people aren't running this marathon with us, it can be tempting to think we're going the extra mile in our walk with Christ by memorizing Scripture. In this episode, special guest Daniel Louis discusses "quiet consistency" in Scripture memorization. Rather than viewing it as a special achievement, Daniel views it as one of the most basic components of spiritual formation. Join us for this episode as we explore what it means to embrace Scripture memory as a normal and essential part of the Christian life.

057: How to be Engaging When Sharing Scripture (ft. Aaron House) May 17, 2024

Scripture memory has many uses, from evangelism to spiritual warfare, and even comforting our hearts in times of need. But one of its most potent purposes is public recitation. Imagine the impact of reciting memorized portions of the Bible during a worship service or ScriptureFest. It not only edifies God’s people but also challenges them to start their own Scripture memory journey. In this episode, we have a special guest, Aaron House, the Executive Director of Piercing Word Ministries. Piercing Word ignites passion for the Word of God in the heart of the Church, engaging people with live Scripture Performances. Tune in today for another engaging episode of The Scripture Memory Podcast, where Aaron shares his unique insights.

056: Beginning with Your Youngest Memorizer May 03, 2024

Earnest Christian parents are eager to begin discipling their children. However, we tend to have a romanticized or idealized image of it all. After the evening meal, the family will gather for instruction in the ways of the Lord. The children will sit quietly and soak up biblical teaching like a sponge. The reality proves different. Children are easily distracted and sometimes fight the very instruction they need. What do we do? This episode will discuss working with your youngest memorizers (preschoolers). We’ll answer some of the essential questions for doing this successfully. Tune in for another instructional episode of The Scripture Memory Podcast.

055 - Deep Cuts: Why and How to Memorize Obscure Biblical Texts Apr 19, 2024

Most streaming services have a “Deep Cuts” playlist showcasing an artist’s more obscure songs. It is so rewarding to explore those tunes. We often find hidden gems. Consider Scripture memory in the same way. Of course, we want to memorize the Bible’s greatest hits. However, because “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness” (2 Tim. 3:16), the Holy Spirit has something to say and teach in every verse. Our souls will be nourished when we commit these more obscure passages to memory. In today’s episode. We will discuss the why and how of memorizing the Bible’s “Deep Cuts.” Tune in for another informative episode of The Scripture Memory Podcast.

Bonus Episode: Empowering Your Prayer Life with Scripture Memory Mar 22, 2024

The Lord wants us to use Scripture memory for His glory. Among other things, we memorize to obey God’s Word (Josh. 1:8), evangelize the lost (2 Tim. 3:15), and gain victory in spiritual warfare (Eph. 6:17). But what about prayer? Can we use Bible memory to empower our prayer lives? You bet. The Scriptures reveal God’s will for us. When we pray His Word back to Him, it invigorates our prayer life because we have confidence that we are praying according to His will (1 John 5:14). In this episode, our hosts will offer some ways you can incorporate Bible memory into your own prayer life and share a new resource from Scripture Memory Fellowship.

053: High-Intensity Memorization Mar 15, 2024

As a general rule, it’s best to have a regular pace in your memory work. Sometimes, however, it can be valuable to have a season of what we call “High-Intensity Memorization.” This is a period of time – maybe a few days, maybe a few weeks – when you put the pedal to the metal and memorize as much Scripture as you can. This, of course, is challenging, but there are also some unique benefits to the approach. Our hosts will discuss H.I.M. while highlighting the pros and cons. Join us for another informative episode of The Scripture Memory Podcast.

051: How Do We Delight in God's Word? Feb 16, 2024

Delight is a term that we do not necessarily associate with Bible memory. It is a discipline that requires work and dedication. However, delight should permeate our time in the Word of God. We memorize because we love the Word. And the more we memorize it, the more we should love the Scriptures.

048: Scripture Memory Moments in Church History (Part 5) Jan 05, 2024

The church of the Lord Jesus Christ approached the early 21st Century with much promise. Technological advancements brought the Bible and study resources of every type to our fingertips. Yet believers, especially those in the Western world, squandered these great benefits. Participation in the visible church declined significantly. Mainstream denominations, once bastions of biblical conservatism, compromised sound doctrine for worldly acceptance. Christians stopped pouring over the pages of Holy Scripture. Biblical illiteracy reached an all-time high, with the result that few who professed Christianity knew the tenets of the faith they espoused. How did it happen, and how could this catastrophe have been prevented? Our hosts will address this issue in another informative episode of The Scripture Memory Podcast.

The Fall of the Roman Empire saw a setback for Western Civilization. Europe entered a time known as the Dark Ages. Political, economic, military, and educational institutions fell into disarray. However, learning continued in the nooks and crannies of various countries. Memorization of God’s Word continued even with fervency. In this third installment of our five-part series, we will consider how believers during medieval times committed God’s Word to memory.

031: 10 Reasons to Memorize Scripture According to Psalm 119 May 12, 2023

The Bible is the believer’s rule for faith and practice. What we are to believe concerning God and the duty God requires of us in life are all contained in the pages of Holy Scripture. On that basis, what we believe and practice must be rooted in God’s Word.

Why should we memorize the Bible? The Bible itself supplies ample reasons to memorize and meditate on its truths. We do not want to focus exclusively on techniques without considering motivation.
