Many Christians want to know the Bible by heart, but don’t know how to start. In this episode, David Wollen is joined by biblical scholar Dr. Kenneth Berding to explore how the Bible itself teaches us to remember God’s Word—and how Scripture hidden in the heart shapes a life devoted to Christ.
We tend to remember what we love—songs, stories, and even commercial jingles. In this episode, David Wollen and Dr. Kenneth Berding explore why Scripture was meant to be remembered and how God designed His Word to take root in our hearts.
Just as muscles remember what they’ve learned, our hearts can relearn God’s Word. In this episode, David Wollen continues a conversation with Dr. Kenneth Berding about memorizing Scripture—not as a burden, but as a practice that grows easier over time.
After God rescued Israel from slavery, He gave them something even more vital—His Word. In this episode, David Wollen turns to Deuteronomy 5 to show why God’s people needed to hear His voice, fear Him rightly, and learn His Word before they could truly draw near. We’ll see how memorizing Scripture has always been God’s gracious means of shaping His people—and why we still need it today.
God’s covenant begins with love, not law. In this final episode of Knowing the Bible by Heart, David Wollen explores Deuteronomy 6 and why loving God leads us to treasure—and memorize—His Word.
