Guided Scripture Memory
Know By Heart is a weekly podcast designed to help you memorize Scripture—one verse at a time. Each episode gently guides you through a single Bible verse with reflection, repetition, and simple memorization practice you can carry with you throughout your day.
This podcast was inspired by 100 Bible Verses Everyone Should Know by Heart by Robert J. Morgan. While we follow the order of verses suggested in the book, you don’t need the book to participate. The heart of this podcast isn’t the resource—it’s the practice of truly hiding God’s Word in your heart.
We primarily use the English Standard Version (ESV) of the Bible because it is a word-for-word translation that stays close to the original Hebrew and Greek, which is especially helpful for memorization. However, you are always welcome to memorize Scripture in the translation you prefer.
Why Scripture Memory?
We live in a world full of self-improvement plans, habits, and goals. While many of those things can be helpful, nothing is more important than knowing God’s Word and meditating on it day and night.
Memorizing Scripture is a way of abiding in Christ. When God’s Word lives in us, it shapes how we think, how we pray, and how we respond to everyday life. This kind of growth doesn’t fade—it lasts for eternity.
Know By Heart exists to help make Scripture memory simple, gentle, and sustainable.
What to Expect Each Week
Each weekly episode is about five minutes long and includes:
- A brief introduction to the verse
- A short reflection to help you understand and treasure it
- Guided repetition to help you memorize the verse
- Simple encouragement for practicing the verse throughout the week
We don’t just memorize new verses—we also regularly review past verses. Like old friends, God’s Word becomes more familiar, more comforting, and more deeply rooted in our hearts over time.
