Connecting Scripture memory to themes or seasons of life is a powerful way to make God’s Word even more personal and relevant. In this episode, we’ll explore how to use seasonal or topical memorization to align your heart with what God is doing around—and within—you. Support the showThe Scripture Memory Podcast is made possible by the generous support of listeners like you.
