In this final episode of The Great Deceit, we pull back the curtain to explore the methods our guests have used to memorize Scripture. We discover how this spiritual discipline not only shapes our hearts to reflect God's desires but also renews our minds so we can think more like Him. As you'll hear, memorizing Scripture isn't about having an exceptional memory—it's about having a willing heart.The Bible is a divine gift, given to people like you and me, meant to transform us into the image of God. But when it remains only on our screens or in the pages of a book, its impact can be limited. When we internalize it—letting it take root in our minds—it begins to reshape our thoughts and fulfill the transformation God desires for us.You're almost there… can you feel it? Take the leap and begin your journey today!---If you would like more resources to help you memorize scripture, click HERE.Thanks for listening! Follow us on Facebook or YouTube.

If you asked 10 random people in your church whether they could memorize a chapter of the Bible, chances are all 10 would say, "No way!" But ask those same 10 people if they could sing their favorite song, and they'd likely respond with an enthusiastic, "Of course!"Somehow, the enemy has convinced us that memorizing Scripture is only for the gifted few. Yet for centuries, memorization was the primary way people accessed God's Word. It wasn't until the 1500s that technology made printed Bibles widely available.This lie — that memorization is impossible for most — is what we call the "Great Deceit". In this podcast series, we'll pull back the curtain and show you that everyone can memorize Scripture — yes, even you!Thanks for listening! Follow us on Facebook or YouTube.
