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

Fri, 01 May 2026 05:35:02 +0000

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.

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 05:54:14 +0000

In Bible times, memory was prioritized and practiced more than it is now, which is why Jesus and many authors were able to quote so much Scripture. But how were they able to do it? In this episode, Josh Summers talks with Ken Berding (NT prof at Talbot School of Theology and elder at Redemption Hill Church) about what we’ve lost in biblical literacy and how Scripture memory supports real meditation on God’s Word. Ken shares the heart behind his new book "The Bible by Heart" and walks through Bible-shaped practices like repetition, singing, rhythm, and displaying Scripture so it moves from short-term access into long-term, life-shaping memory.

"DON'T Memorize..." says man who recites Luke from memory

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 05:30:02 +0000

Most people just memorize a couple Bible verses or maybe a chapter of the BIble. Bruce Kuhn memorized the entire gospel of Luke and has performed it for decades on stages around the world. Listen to the advice Bruce offers about how this experience taught him to internalize Scripture as lived story, not just lines to recite.

Just because you CAN memorize doesn't mean you SHOULD

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 05:30:02 +0000

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.

This is David Platt, the best-selling author, former president of the International Mission Board (IMB) and influential pastor.

David explains how Scripture memory shaped his ministry, deepened his intimacy with God during suffering, and why leaders must model and encourage this habit in the Church. Plus, you’ll hear David’s practical memorization habits, his “MAPS” method for studying the Bible, and why he believes the Word is too powerful to stay silent about.

Faith shares the very personal story of how her father’s habit of cherry-picking verses shaped (and shook) her early understanding of God — and how discovering a faithful hermeneutic at college completely transformed her relationship with Scripture.

“A Case for Recitation” – Restoring Scripture to the Heart of Worship

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 05:30:08 +0000

Your church has a worship team and a prayer team...but what about a "recitation team"? In this episode, Josh Summers sits down with Tom Griffins, founder of the By Heart Ministry, to explore the art and the power of scripture recitation in the modern church. Memorizing the Bible is more than just a private, personal discipline - it should also be for the edification of the church!

Tom walks us through the practical dynamics of implementing recitation in a service, how to coach nervous reciters, and why this discipline belongs in the body of Christ.

Metaphor to Memory: 5 Ways to Hold God’s Word (Bill Mowry)

Fri, 02 May 2025 05:30:13 +0000

Bill Mowry, long-time Navigator and author of Holding the Word, joins Josh Summers to unpack how simple metaphors can revolutionize your scripture engagement. In this episode, Bill introduces the Navigators' Topical Memory System and his powerful “Hand Illustration” — five life-changing ways to interact with God’s Word: hear it, read it, study it, memorize it, and meditate on it.

Josh and Bill explore how accountability and mentorship can fuel a consistent Bible memory habit, and why memorizing just one verse a month could be the best way to begin.

With decades of discipleship experience, Bill offers both encouragement and strategy to help you draw closer to God through the Bible.

100-Day System for Memorizing Bible Verses so you DON'T Forget

Fri, 11 Apr 2025 05:30:07 +0000

What if memorizing Scripture didn’t require complex apps or a photographic memory? In this episode, Pastor John Green shares his practical, deeply personal method of Bible memorization—one that centers on index cards, structured review, and verses drawn straight from quiet time with God. Host Josh Summers explores how this 100-day review cycle has helped John internalize hundreds of Bible verses, adapt to a busy life, and cultivate spiritual depth.

Pastor Green discusses the emotional and meditative benefits of Scripture memory, explains how to avoid cherry-picking verses out of context, and opens up about how God’s Word has shaped his life. Whether you're just starting or looking to deepen your routine, this episode is packed with wisdom to help you make Bible memory sustainable, meaningful, and life-changing.

How One Image Can Help You Remember an Entire Verse (w/ Drake Mariani)

Fri, 31 Jan 2025 05:40:06 +0000

Can You Find Joy in Memorizing Job...in HEBREW?! (w/ Ellie Weiner)

Fri, 06 Sep 2024 05:45:01 +0000

This is a MUST LISTEN! Memorizing the book of Job may sound hard - and it is - but Cambridge PhD candidate Ellie Weiner decided to take on the task following her dissertation. Here's the thing: she memorized the book not in English, but in the original Hebrew!

Ellie shares how she initially felt reluctant and intimidated by the challenge but eventually uncovered deep insights into Job's literary structure and the significance of the divine voice. They discuss the memorization process, its spiritual effects, and the practical challenges she overcame. Ellie's reflections give a fresh and profound perspective on Job, changing it from a daunting text to a source of joy and wisdom.

Christians DON'T Know The Bible: How to Fight Biblical Illiteracy

Fri, 07 Jun 2024 06:30:06 +0000

Most Christians don't read their Bible anymore and it's shocking how many lack basic knowledge of Scripture. Is this a product of our society or our churches? And what can be done about this? Brad East, associate professor of theology at Abilene Christian University, explains the critical idea of "Biblical literacy in a post-literate age" and the challenges of reaching a generation that is not reading as much as before.

We explore the importance of Bible memory and creative ways to engage with Scripture, emphasizing the need for a new approach to discipleship and evangelism in a changing world. This thought-provoking conversation offers insights into the future of Biblical literacy.

Fri, 17 Nov 2023 09:16:05 +0000

This is more than just a podcast to me. This was started to help me stay accountable to my own Scripture memory goals, so today I'm going to recite the entire book of 2 Timothy to you while walking around a park near my home in Thailand.

This was a book I memorized last year but have been slowly moving into long term memory. This is the first time I have recited the whole book while recording and you'll hear plenty of mistakes along the way.

To learn more about how I memorized 2 Timothy in 30 days, watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAChGGq40s4

This ONE Mindset Shift Could Change Your Whole Week

Fri, 26 May 2023 05:45:02 +0000

When memorizing Scripture (or tackling any goal), it's often the "unspiritual", seemingly insignificant decisions we make throughout the day that either help or hinder our ability to offer our bodies "as a living sacrifice" (Romans 12:1). Try changing one thing this week to see the impact it can make.

Has this been encouraging to you? Consider leaving a rating and review of the podcast! I read every one of them and it's an incredible encouragement to me.

Start Here with Bible Memory!

Wed, 18 May 2022 08:33:48 +0000

As Christians, we all know the value of memorizing God’s Word. Many of us did it when we were kids, but now as adults, we feel like we don’t have enough time, we don’t have a good enough memory or we just don’t have the discipline to make it work.

On Memorize What Matters, I’ll share exactly how you can memorize more of the Bible than you ever thought possible without letting is slip away next week or next month.

I’m Josh Summers, and I went from memorizing a couple verses here and there to now having memorized over 10 books of the Bible word-for-word. I have a goal of committing the entire New Testament to memory and I’m sharing everything I learn along the way in hopes that I can encourage and inspire you, no matter what your age or how long you’ve been a Christian, to make Scripture memory a priority.

Each episode of Memorize What Matters is like a private coaching session where you’ll learn from me and the guests I interview about different techniques and methods we use. You’ll get actionable lessons that you can use next time you open your Bible so that you can make notable progress on your Bible memory goals.

Whether you’re looking to memorize a couple verses this year or you’re tackling entire books of the Bible, I’m here to cheer you along the way. We remember so many things in life - from song lyrics to movie quotes - it is worth the time and effort that it takes to Memorize What Matters.
