Want to finally memorize scripture in a way that actually sticks—and transforms your daily life? In this video, we'll walk through 5 simple, practical steps to memorize Bible verses without feeling overwhelmed, guilty, or discouraged.

God's Word is meant to live in your heart and mind, not just sit on a page. When you commit to scripture memorization, you'll:
✅ Make wiser daily decisions
✅ Handle stress and challenges with courage
✅ Replace worry and fear with God's promises
✅ Experience deeper peace, joy, and confidence in your faith

Whether you've tried and "failed" before, feel too busy, or think you have a bad memory, this guide will show you how anyone can build a lasting habit of scripture memory. With encouragement from Joshua 1:7-9, helpful tools, a 30-day plan, and even a little humor along the way, you'll see how fun and life-giving memorizing the Bible can be.

This isn't about perfection—it's about building a stronger walk with God, one verse at a time.

📖 Ready to start? Pick one verse, pray for God's help, grab a tool (like verse cards, sticky notes, or an app), and invite a friend to join you on the journey.
