I’ve tried memorizing things by repeating them over and over again in a monotone voice; I’ve even tried note cards. I’ve learned one thing—those techniques DO NOT work for me! If you find yourself in a similar rut, then you might want to join me in utilizing a method that uses both mental and muscular faculties. Muscle memory is powerful. Have you ever played a sport wrong for years and then had someone try to correct your technique, and found that breaking the old habit seemed nearly impossible? Well, that’s because it was a trained muscular response. I’ve learned that I can retain verses of the Bible amazingly well when I’ve hooked them into a meaningful movement.

I visit all ages of people at conferences and equip them with various learning tools and ideas for memorization. We dive right in and learn a passage together to get their feet wet, which I hope will launch them into greater depths with Scripture and effectiveness for Christ. It’s incredible how much people can memorize in one setting! I’d like to show your group how to memorize, and would be thrilled if you also began showing others what you have learned. You have influence on those around you. I’d love to see God use you to multiply and advance the knowledge of the Truth in your sphere of the world.
