    This Concert Pianist's Scripture Recitation Shocked Me

    Matthias Wilder recites entire chapters of Scripture from memory while accompanying himself on piano, creating a live presentation that feels part concert, part Scripture reading, and part worship service. In this episode, Josh talks with Matt about memorizing large portions of the Bible, how audiences respond to hearing the Bible presented in his unique format, and how the book of Hebrews helped him leave Mormonism and embraces the Grace of God as sufficient. ✅ Matthias Wilder’s Website – https://matthiaswilder.com/ ✅ Get Josh’s “Memorize What Matters” on ebook and audiobook for only $5 – https://www.biblememorygoal.com/book5 ✅ Join the “Memorize What Matters” Newsletter – https://www.biblememorygoal.com/newsletter✅ ✅ Matthias Wilder's YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@mattwilderpiano  🔹SUPPORT the MINISTRY 🔹 If you're one of those awesome people who understands that this "free" podcast takes time and effort to produce, there are a few ways that you can support what we're doing here: Buy the Merch!

  2. How Can we Trust the Disciples' Memory of What Jesus Said?

    1 MAY

    How Can we Trust the Disciples' Memory of What Jesus Said?

    Without an audio recorder, how did the disciples remember what Jesus actually said or did? In this episode, Josh talks with Dr. Craig S. Keener of Asbury Theological Seminary about how memorization and discipleship actually worked in the Jewish and Greco-Roman world. You’ll hear why education was built on memorization and how the disciples would have preserved their teacher’s message and words collectively, not individually.   ✅ Craig Keener's books: https://amzn.to/49on6K7   ✅ Christians Don't Know the Bible Anymore w/ Brad East https://www.spreaker.com/episode/christians-don-t-know-the-bible-how-to-fight-biblical-illiteracy--60204807   ✅ Join us as a Patron: https://www.biblememorygoal.com/patron/   ✅ Join us for Scripture Sync Dallas this June! https://www.scripturesyncdallas.com/2026 🔹SUPPORT the MINISTRY 🔹 If you're one of those awesome people who understands that this "free" podcast takes time and effort to produce, there are a few ways that you can support what we're doing here: Buy the Merch!
