Best Podcasts for Bible Memory Enthusiasts

Podcasts exist for almost any niche, and Scripture memory is no exception.

If you’re the kind of person who love to memorize the Bible, there’s good news and bad news. The good news is that there are a few Bible memory podcasts out there, but the choices are limited. Why?

• Just as we might start out strong in our determination to memorize scripture, many podcasts on scripture memory started out strong during the pandemic year, and then quickly fizzled out.
• There are some individual episodes within podcasts that are very encouraging on the subject of scripture memory, but that is not the main subject of the podcast.
• Many scripture memory podcasts focus on rote learning–on the theory that hearing the verse(s) over and over will aid in the memory of the verses. So instead of focusing on Bible memory per se, they’re actually just saying a passage over and over again.

Let’s take a look at some of the best Scripture memory podcasts (and podcast episodes) that are available for you to listen to.

The Best Scripture Memory Podcasts

The following are the only two active podcasts worth adding to your listening rotation. They both offer great resources, interviews and plenty of actionable tips for your Scripture memory journey.

Memorize What Matters (Bible Memory Goal)

This podcast is an extension of the Bible Memory Goal website and Scripture Memory YouTube channel, hosted by Josh Summers. This encouraging podcast has been publishing weekly episodes since May of 2022.

Josh has interviews with heroes of Bible memorization, explores various memory techniques and the “why” of memorization. There is also an online community sponsored by the podcast as well as helpful resources available at the website, including charts and posters, stickers, and shirts and sweatshirts.

The Scripture Memory Podcast (Scripture Memory Fellowship)

This podcast is relatively new as a podcast, having begun in March, 2022 as a ministry of Scripture Memory Fellowship. It includes practical memory tips for memorizing scripture as well as encouragement for those who have been at it for a while.

The ministry itself has existed for over 50 years, and they have numerous resources available on their website, including scripture memory courses for all ages, memorization plans and digital resources. The big thing they sponsor is a Bible Memory Camp for kids in the US every summer.

Inactive Podcasts about Bible Memory

Unlike the Memorize What Matters and Scripture Memory Podcast above, the following is a list of Bible memory podcasts that were active at one time but are no longer being updated. Even still, these podcast may prove helpful, particularly as you pursue the memorization of “essential” verses.

Bible Memory For All

This podcast is a ministry of Bible Memory for All, an online resource for those memorizing Scripture.

The 80 available episodes were recorded between 2013 and 2016 with each episode averaging about 10 minutes in length.

The host shares insights about a specific verse or passage, and then recites the verse or passage several times as an aid in memorization. Some cover only one verse, or sometimes there are a series of podcasts for longer passages.
