With Bible apps and search engines offering instant access to scripture, our relationship to God's Word has radically changed in the 21st century. With this ease of accessibility, is there any benefit to putting in the effort when we can look up any passage in seconds, and does committing biblical passages to heart still hold value in today's world?

Jonathan and Laurie dive into the topic of scripture memory, touching on the role it plays in spiritual growth, their own personal histories with the practice, and whether it still holds relevance in today’s digital world. They discuss the impact of having God’s Word stored in our hearts and explore practical ways to make it a meaningful discipline in daily life. Whether you’re a seasoned memorizer or someone who relies on their Bible app, this episode will challenge you to think about the place scripture should hold in your mind and heart (not just on your bookshelf or phone).
