If you don't memorize Scripture, you won't be able to stand against the devil. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar each share how storing God's Word in their hearts transformed their faith and equipped them for spiritual battle. E.Z. didn't grow up with the Bible, and when he discovered it, he became captivated by its sweetness and power to guide his life. Oscar initially found the Bible confusing, but through memorization, he came to see it as the single, reliable source of wisdom. While God's law is written on our hearts and gives a general sense of right and wrong, conviction and clarity come when His Word is hidden within, ready to guide and correct in the moment.Memorizing Scripture allows truth to come to mind during temptation and conviction, shaping responses through godly wisdom rather than emotion. Without it, believers risk relying on the world instead of God's guidance. Sanctification is lifelong as the Spirit reveals sin, and as we grow, we become continual repenters, allowing Scripture to illuminate dark corners of the heart. The Word is living and active, a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, providing strength and fruitfulness. Mark reflects that those who meditate on Scripture day and night are like trees planted by streams of water, deeply rooted and bearing fruit in every season.The Word equips believers as vessels of honor, ready for every good work. It is the sword of the Spirit—powerful only when known and applied. Believers are called to treasure scripture like hidden gold, rejoicing in its truth and prioritizing it above all else. Jesus upheld the authority of Scripture as the ultimate standard of truth that will judge the nations. Memorization fills minds with good things, yet it has become a lost discipline in the modern church. How valuable it would be to have Scripture ready to encourage a friend, for from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The more we store God's Word, the more we live by it.The early church eagerly gathered to hear Scripture read aloud, but today many settle for spiritual fast food instead of feasting on truth. Ray warns that the church often treats the Bible like a fragile artifact rather than a living guide meant to be used and marked. Jesus modeled memorization when He resisted Satan's temptations with truth. Memorizing Scripture takes time, but just minutes a day can transform your walk. Meditation means letting verses soak into the soul. Memorizing Scripture is coming face-to-face with God—shaping the heart and strengthening faith. The Bible will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from the Bible.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Memorizing Scripture equips believers to stand firm against temptation and walk in God's truth. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar each demonstrate how storing God's Word in their hearts transformed their faith and helped them rely on divine wisdom instead of the world. As Scripture takes root, it brings conviction, clarity, and strength in moments of struggle, guiding believers to live according to God's will. The Word is living and active, a lamp to our feet that reveals sin and directs our steps. Through meditation, hearts are renewed and shaped toward godliness, producing lasting fruit. The more believers fill their minds with Scripture, the more it naturally flows in conversation, encouragement, and prayer. Though often neglected today, memorization fills the mind with truth, equips believers to encourage others, and builds a firm foundation of faith. Treasuring the Bible as a priceless gift keeps us close to God, guards us from sin, and draws us deeper into His presence.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Fear is one of the greatest battles every Christian faces — but God has already equipped us to conquer it. Drawing from 2 Timothy 1:7, Megan J. Conner reminds us that we can overcome fear not through our own strength but through God’s power, love, and a sound mind. Through personal reflection and biblical examples—from David’s cries for courage to Paul and Silas singing in chains—this devotional reveals how faith transforms fear into steadfast trust. Highlights Fear is natural, but faith is our divine response. God replaces fear with power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). David found courage by focusing on God’s strength and salvation (Psalm 27:1). Paul and Silas showed unwavering faith in prison, turning fear into worship (Acts 16:25–26). God’s Word is a powerful weapon against anxiety (Ephesians 6:10–20). Memorizing Scripture builds spiritual resilience and peace. Join the Conversation What verse helps you face fear with faith? Share your reflections and encourage others to trust God in the face of fear. Tag @LifeAudioNetwork and use #FaithOverFear #LifeAudio #CourageInChrist to join the conversation.

When life gets hard, what comes out of us is usually whatever we've been holding onto. If we've filled our minds with lies, fear, or shame, that's what shows up. But if we've filled it with God's Word, that's what we'll have to lean on. Jesus had Scripture deep inside Him. Even on the cross He was quoting it. That's the goal for us too. Memorizing Scripture helps us hear from God, think differently, fight off lies and temptation, and be ready for the hard seasons before they come. It's not about cramming verses, it's about building a deep well of truth that we can draw from when we need it most. Memorize a passage of ScriptureStep 1: Pick a PassageChoose a section of Scripture that you want to memorize.If you're not sure where to start, Psalm 23 is a great option.Step 2: Learn 2 Verses at a Time• Focus on the first two verses.• Read them out loud four times a day for one week.• Let the repetition help the words settle into your mind and heart.Step 3: Add More Each Week• In the second week, add the next two verses.• Keep reviewing the earlier ones as you go.• Continue this pattern until you've memorized the whole passage.Step 4: Use a 3x5 Card Trick• Write the full passage on one side of a 3x5 card.• On the back, write only the first letter of each word in the verse(s). This helps your brain recall the words while testing your memory. Thanks for listening in to The Ridge's Sunday Audio podcast!

In this powerful second part of my conversation with Dr. Ronnie Kent and Dr. James Kent, authors of The Anxiety Algorithm, we dig deeper into how faith, mindset, and God's presence can transform anxious patterns into lasting peace and joy.The Kents share how abiding in Christ—not striving—produces the fruit of the Spirit in our lives. We talk about how the Holy Spirit shields us like “filter paper,” allowing only what shapes us into Christ's likeness to touch our lives, and how to apply the Anxiety Algorithm in real-time—even during the everyday stressors like parenting, finances, and yes, even pickleball matches!We also explore the secret of true contentment and long-term wellness, plus how God invites us not just to survive anxiety but to thrive with a renewed sense of joy and freedom.Whether you're facing everyday worries or long-standing battles with fear, this episode offers practical hope rooted in Scripture, brain science, and the peace only God can bring.Key Takeaways:Abiding in Christ—not striving—produces true spiritual fruit like peace, patience, and self-control.God shields us from more than we realize, using every challenge to grow Christlike character.The Anxiety Algorithm isn't just for anxiety—it applies to anger, depression, loneliness, and beyond.Memorizing Scripture gives the Holy Spirit “ammunition” to redirect our thoughts in anxious moments.True contentment, as Paul described in Philippians, is a learned posture—and it's possible for all believers.Effort matters to God—He cheers our perseverance more than our performance or “wins.”Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Anxiety Algorithm01:55 Applying the Algorithm in Daily Life10:06 Visualization and the Holy Spirit15:15 Long-Term Wellness and Contentment21:22 Goals and Takeaways from the ConversationBUY THE BOOK HERE OR PEEK INSIDE:Anxiety Algorithm https://amzn.to/44GQ8mtConnect with Ronnie and James: https://journeywise.network/anxiety-algorithm/CONNECT WITH VICTORIA:*NEW RELEASE: Pickleball Passion A Marriage Devotional: 21 Days to a Stronger Connection on and off the Court https://amzn.to/48wnvaV*CHOOSE 2 THINK 365-DAY DEVOTIONAL: https://amzn.to/3Hcl7v1*CHOOSE 2 THINK JOURNAL: https://amzn.to/3WvinNDEMAIL: choose2think@gmail.com PODCAST WEBSITE: www.choose2thinkpodcast.comMINISTRY WEBSITE: www.choose2think.coMENTORING: www.choose2think.co/coaching.html FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com/groups/choose2thinkINSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/victoriadwalkerlydon/*When you click on these Amazon affiliate links, I may earn a teeny commission from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you.

I take my kids out, one-on-one, every week. It doesn't have to be anything fancy—sometimes, it's just ice cream or a car wash run with my daughter. Over time, these moments build strong relationships and make way for deeper conversations. Plus, we try to do family devotions and prayer time before bed. We're not perfect, but it's a constant effort. Absolutely. It's crucial to prioritize your kids and give them the best of you, not just what's left. Simple activities, like watching a favorite show together, can mean a lot. The key is to be present and make the most of these moments. Right. And it's never too late to start. Even if you've missed opportunities before, you can always begin now. Whether it's with your own kids, grandkids, or kids at church, just be intentional. God's grace covers it all, and He's more than willing to help us on this journey.

Why are more churches rediscovering and reciting the Nicene Creed? And what can the ancient articulation of Christian belief offer the church in these divided times? Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn discuss the 1700th anniversary of the creed and its place in the modern church. The Bible is critical to our faith, but have we been taught to worship the Bible rather than the God of the Bible? Dave Ripper, the author of “Experiencing Scripture as a Disciple of Jesus,” explains how Dallas Willard engaged the Bible and how it can become a source of transformation, not just information.

God's Armor: A Battle Plan for YOUR Life! Introduction to the Armor of God (00:00-00:28) The speaker introduces the topic of the armor of God, emphasizing its importance for every Christian. Questions whether the armor is just a metaphor or something to actively apply in daily life. Life's Spiritual Battles (00:28-01:02) Acknowledges struggles like temptations, fears, doubts, and sickness. The Bible provides a battle plan, with Ephesians 6:10-11 instructing believers to put on the full armor of God to stand against the devil's schemes. Breakdown of the Armor of God (01:02-02:13) Belt of Truth (John 8:32): Holds everything together; God's truth keeps believers grounded. Breastplate of Righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21): Protects the heart; righteousness comes from Christ, not self. Shoes of the Gospel of Peace (Isaiah 52:7): Provides stability and confidence in spreading the gospel. Shield of Faith: Blocks attacks of doubt, fear, and anxiety.

Welcome to the Drive Thru Mom's Podcast! Have you ever tried to remember something your read? In school we memorized for tests, for recall purposes. But as a Christ follower, recalling Scripture we've read can make all the difference. Scripture memorization is a discipline that makes such a difference in the life a believer.

Today's guest is Natalie Abbott is the co-founder and chief content officer of Dwell Differently. She's the co-author of the Dwell on These Things Bible study and Dwell Differently: Overcome Negative Thinking with the Simple Practice of Memorizing God's Truth.

Are there moments when your life feels small? Take note of any patterns. Do you feel less than great whenever you get together with that one friend who seems to have a glamorous, exciting life? Or do you feel discontentment bubbling whenever you spend time on social media? SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts:Your Daily Prayer: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/Your Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Full Transcript Below: What to Remember When Your Life Feels Small by Deidre Braley Matthew 18:1-4: At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying,“Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Does your life ever feel small? Mine sometimes does. Just last weekend, in fact, I had the unsettling experience of smallness at a country concert that was featuring a major artist. As the sun sank below the edge of the stadium, the crowd's anticipation mounted. When the singer finally ran onto the stage, donning his guitar and saluting the audience, the stadium erupted. Girls clutched each other and screamed. Phone flashlights turned into constellations amongst the pulsing galaxy of people. Tens of thousands of lips moved in unison to sing the opening song together. Submerged in this world of smoke and lights and adrenaline, I had the unsettling feeling of being small. A longing began to stir deep in my belly—something like an exhilarating hunger. I suddenly wondered what it would feel like to live in this alternate reality called fame. Back at home, I knew that laundry was piled on our bedroom floor, that our toddlers would be wanting pancakes in the morning, and that the dishes would be nearly toppling in the kitchen sink. My line of work, in comparison to rocking and selling out this stadium, seemed so humdrum and un-noteworthy that I could hardly stand it. As it turns out, this hunger I was feeling—this longing to know what greatness feels like—came about long before electric guitars and jumbotrons. The disciples felt it too. One day, they even asked Jesus, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” (Matthew 18:1) Jesus didn't name a rockstar. He didn't list off kings, or bible heroes, or professionals revered in their fields. Instead, he beckoned for a child to come and stand among them. “‘Truly I tell you,' he said, ‘unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me…'” (Matthew 18:2-5). Earthside, we perceive greatness as notoriety and wealth, power and fanfare. It involves being or having more than someone else. But in the kingdom of heaven? Greatness looks like humility, trust, and inclusion. Greatness looks like a child, turning to the Father for everything. If we align our life's work to what the world deems ‘great,' then our days will be filled with striving and discontentment. We'll be ever subjected to the fickleness of humanity. But when we align ourselves with what Jesus values—when we humble our souls and trust in the only one that is truly great—we are able to bask in an eternal greatness that gives our souls rest and contentment. So when we find ourselves caught in a pattern of discontentment, wondering when our time will come, or if anyone will ever notice us, or if our lives will ever possess that magnetic essence of greatness, let's come back to that image of Jesus, pulling the child near and saying,“This. This is what greatness looks like in my kingdom.” Intersecting Faith & Life Are there moments when your life feels small? Take note of any patterns. Do you feel less than great whenever you get together with that one friend who seems to have a glamorous, exciting life? Or do you feel discontentment bubbling whenever you spend time on social media? Once you are able to identify when, where, or what makes you feel “small,” you can develop strategies to help you fight the lie that greatness comes from what the world hails, like fame and wealth or power and position. These strategies could include: Limiting how often you expose yourself to these people or situations.● Memorizing Scripture to pray over yourself when you're feeling overcome withdiscontentment or inferiority. Surround yourself with others whose lives model humility and surrender to the Lord.● Finding solitude, then stopping to ask the Holy Spirit to reorient your priorities andremind you who are—and who he is.
