09: Does Writing Out Scripture Actually Help You Memorize It? It Does When Heaven Meets Earth on Your Page (Isaiah 55:8 to 11)
Ever read a verse beautifully and forgotten it by lunch?
This week we are in Isaiah 55: 8 to 11 from my beloved King James Version, and instead of a hook with letters or numbers, the memory technique is all about how you write it out. It is so simple you might take it to your next small group. I walk you through the Big Capital I: an A4 portrait page with three rectangles, one across the top for h
08: Do you REALLY Know Psalm 23? Could You Recite It Word for Word? You can With This Storytelling Mnemonic!
Do you REALLY know Psalm 23, or just the first few lines?
Could you recite it word for word, right now, without peeking?
Friend, this week we are tackling Psalm 23 from my beloved King James Version, and instead of a letter technique I am using a storytelling method. Six verses become six vivid pictures: you standing with the Shepherd, lying down in green pastures, being led beside the still water
07: Overwhelmed by a Whole Chapter? Build a Memory Technique of Your Own Using the Protection Psalm 91
Ever feel like a whole chapter of Scripture is just too much to memorize?
What if you could stop reading it over and over and over, and build a memory technique of your own instead?
Friend, this week a listener asked for Psalm 91, the whole chapter, and I'm not just handing you a technique, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I come up with one. Sixteen verses looks overwhelming until you spot the
06: Exhausted in a Heavy Season? What "Endured" Really Means in Hebrews 12:2 + Getting Scripture Memorized With Mnemonics
Ever feel like you're barely holding it together under the weight of this season?
What if "endured" doesn't mean gritting your teeth, but something far more beautiful?
Friend, this week I tried verse mapping for the first time, and one little word in Hebrews 12:2 stopped me in my tracks. Endured. In the Greek it means to remain under, to stay under the weight and not walk away. Jesus did exactly t
05: Affirmations vs Scripture: Actually Renewing Your Mind? + Getting Rom 12v2 Memorized!
Ever written out five affirmations, felt amazing for a day, only to realize it didn't stick?
What if renewing your mind was never meant to rest on your shoulders?
Friend, "renew your mind" has become such a trendy phrase. It's all mindset, manifesting, positivity journaling and future self visualizing, and I lived there for a long time without realizing how lukewarm I'd become. In this episode I s
04: ABC as Mnemonics? Would Your Life Be Comfortable or Would God Be Glorified? What Scripture Reveals + Getting Eph 3v20 Memorized!
Ever pray a verse like it's a blank check from God, only to find out later it was asking for something else entirely?
What if the real ask in Ephesians 3:20 isn't about a vacation, but a transformation?
Friend, I used to read Ephesians 3:20 as my permission slip to ask God for anything, a promotion, a holiday, whatever my heart desired. But when I actually walked through the verse in context, I re
03: You Know This Verse, So Why Can't You Find It? A Mnemonic For Isaiah 40v31
Ever wish there was a way to lock in a verse's chapter and verse number as easily as the words themselves?
What if a slightly ridiculous hand motion could be the thing that finally makes a reference stick?
Friends, if you thought Isaiah 40:31 was a verse you already knew by heart, stick with me, because knowing the words was never actually my struggle. It's the address, the chapter and verse, that
02: You Have Never Seen This Mnemonic for Scripture + Neuroscience Art! (Probably)
Ever catch yourself reading God's law hoping it earns you a blessing, instead of delighting in Him simply because He is God? Been there…
Wonder what a technique that looks like a game of Scrabble could actually do for your Scripture memory?
Friends, it started as a blessing that I was praying over my daughter and then it turned into art! In this episode I'm walking you through exactly how I memori
01. What to Expect on Bible Memory + 3 Biblical Reasons to Start Memorizing Scripture
Do you wish you had the kind of courage David had when he ran toward Goliath, courage that came from actually knowing Scripture?
Ever wonder how Daniel walked in favor with a king who didn't even worship his God? He knew the law, and he kept it.
Welcome to the very first episode of Bible Memory with me, Keaghan! In this short trailer I pull back the curtain on my own story, from panic attacks as a
