The Scripture Memory Podcast SMF Studios

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. Pier...

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 memor...

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.

Adam will speak to us about the importance of Scripture songs and how to utilize...

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 episod...

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 a...
