| 093: Good News of Great Joy | 19 Dec 2025 | 00:11:40 | |
🎙️ New Podcast Episode! Christmas is filled with noise, activity, and expectations—but the original Christmas announcement came quietly to ordinary people in an unexpected place. In this reflective episode of the Scripture Memory Podcast, we slow down and sit with the angel’s words from Luke 2:10–11, the heart of the Christmas gospel. Together, we listen to the passage as it was first heard—spoken aloud before it was ever written—then explore why the angel’s message still matters today: “Fear not… I bring you good news of great joy… for unto you is born this day a Savior.” This joy isn’t seasonal sentiment or emotional optimism. It’s anchored to a person—Jesus Christ, the Savior. You’ll be gently guided through a Scripture memory experience that uses repetition, silence, and song to help God’s Word settle not just in your mind, but in your heart. We reflect on why Scripture memory is especially important at Christmas—not to add more information, but to remind us of what is most true when life gets loud. Whether you’re overwhelmed by the season or simply longing to refocus on its meaning, this episode invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and carry one line of Scripture with you throughout the week as a reminder of why we celebrate Christmas. 🔗 Helpful Resources Mentioned in This Episode

| 058: Quiet Consistency (ft. Daniel Louis) | 07 Jun 2024 | 00:27:30 | |
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. Are you tired of making your Scripture memory journey alone?

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.

Piercing Word ignites passion for the Word of God in the heart of the Church, engaging people with live Scripture Performances.

| 056: Beginning with Your Youngest Memorizer | 03 May 2024 | 00:25:28 | |
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.

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. Click here to get SwordGrip Old Testament: Volume 2.

| Bonus Episode: Empowering Your Prayer Life with Scripture Memory | 22 Mar 2024 | 00:20:57 | |
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 | 15 Mar 2024 | 00:26:31 | |
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.
