  4. Just because you CAN memorize doesn't mean you SHOULD

    6 FEB

    Just because you CAN memorize doesn't mean you SHOULD

    Your brain can memorize sounds without understanding any meaning, and sometimes that's exactly what we do with Scripture. In this episode, Josh Summers talks with Katie Frost, an associate instructor in World Arts and applied linguistics, about the difference between rote memorization and true internalization of God’s Word. Katie introduces her “Four E’s” framework (Encounter, Experience, Engage, Establish) and shows how it can be used with kids, adults, and small groups. She unpacks why motions, visuals, and embodiment matter for everyone (not just children), how emotional engagement supports memory, and what insights from oral Bible translation and ethnoarts can teach us about how people really learn. They also discuss practical spaced-repetition rhythms, how to build a personal lexicon of keywords and images, and simple ways to adapt these ideas for one-on-one discipleship or family devotions so that Scripture becomes something you live, not just something you recite. ✅ Katie's article on Internalization – https://www.journal-ems.org/index.php/home/article/view/108/67✅ Visit us at Scripture Sync Dallas - https://www.scripturesyncdallas.com/2026✅ Listen to the interview with Josh (Katie's husband) about the Oral Bible Translation - https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-easiest-translation-to-memorize-is-the-obt--64604700✅ Join the “Memorize What Matters” Newsletter – https://www.biblememorygoal.com/newsletter✅ Level Up Your Scripture Memory & Recitation – https://www.biblememorygoal.com/patron✅ Bible Memory Goal Merch Store – https://www.biblememory.store 🔹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!
