How to memorize so quickly:

You can use whatever method you prefer, but we recommend using the Charlotte Mason method for Scripture memory. It's simple and effective! The easiest way to understand this system is to watch the video at the top of this page. 

All you need is a 3x5 index card box with dividers for Daily, Odd, Even, Monday-Friday, and 1-31. In less than 5 minutes, your family will repeat the verses behind the dividers that match the date. For example, if it were Tuesday the 8th, you’d say the verses behind Daily, Even (because 8 is an even number), Tuesday, and 8.

This system helps to permanently hide Scripture in young hearts because it quickly reviews old verses while learning new ones.

Steps for Easy, Effective Scripture Memory:

1. Prepare your Bible verse box

You'll need to label 41 tabbed index card dividers and put them into your box in this order:

Daily, Odd, Even, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and then numbers 1-31.

Next, copy all the Bible verses your family knows onto index cards. Don't forget to include the reference with the text! Place those cards behind any of the numbered dividers. (Don't put them all behind the same one- spread them out!) Then write down one new verse for your family to learn and place it behind the Daily divider.

2. Recite your verses

Each day, your family will say the verses behind four dividers: Daily, Odd or Even, the Day of the Week, and the numbered Date. For example, if today were Wednesday, the 7th, you'd say the verses behind Daily, Odd (because 7 is an odd number), Wednesday, and 7. This process takes less than 5 minutes!

3. Add more verses

As shown in the video, when your family has memorized the verse behind the Daily divider, move it behind the Odd or Even divider so that it's reviewed a little less frequently, and you can add a new verse behind the Daily divider. Then move the verse behind the Odd or Even divider back to a Day of the Week slot. The verse that was behind that Day of the Week divider is moved back behind a Number divider. Eventually, you'll have memorized enough verses that you'll have multiple cards behind each Number divider. There will always be just one verse card behind the others.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How do we memorize the verses?

Simply read the verse aloud once. Family members can join in as they're able. Older kids may be able to join in with whole phrases after the first session, while younger children may only offer a word here and there at first. That's ok- there's no rush!

How often do we need to read through the verses in our box?

You can read through the verses behind the four appropriate dividers once a day. However, it's much easier to memorize longer verses if they're repeated multiple times a day. Many families find it convenient to leave their memory box on the table and say their verses before snacks or meals. 

Can we add a passage rather than a single verse?

Absolutely! When you add a passage, memorize it the same way that you would an individual verse. Read the whole passage with family members joining in as they're able. Memorizing the passage in its entirety, rather than verse by verse, is easier. The context helps kids know what comes next since they can follow the line of thought.

Should we start over for younger kids when they're ready to learn?

No. Keep going, and they'll surprise you by eventually learning all the verses already in the box! They've had a great head start by being present and hearing the older family members learn the verses. Ask them to join in on the Daily verse and then start throwing out words or phrases of the older verses as they feel comfortable.

What do we do when our box is full?

Yay for filling up your box! You can pull out the dividers labelled 16-31 with the cards behind them and move them to a new box. Use your original box for days 1-15. When you get to day 16, switch the Daily, Odd, Even, and Day of the Week dividers and cards to the new box. You can swap those back to the original box on the first of the next month. 

Does this system really work in under 5 minutes a day?

Yes! Not only will your family memorize verses through daily repetition, but they'll remember those verses through monthly review.

Why make time to memorize Scripture as a family?

  • First, we're commanded to memorize Scripture. Deuteronomy 11:18 says, "You shall therefore lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul."
  • Jesus memorized Scripture. Remember when He quoted it in the desert when tempted by Satan? Memorizing Scripture doesn't just help us to imitate Christ as we're called to, but it helps us avoid temptation.
  • Memorizing God's truth can help us from being led astray by false teaching. When we hear convincing half-truths, we can immediately test what we're hearing if we have Scripture memorized.
  • We're commanded to share the gospel. How can we share the good news of the Bible if we don't have it memorized?
  • Sometimes we feel discouraged and need God's truth to comfort us and chase away those difficult thoughts. We don't always have a Bible on hand to look up comforting verses.
  • The Holy Spirit reminds us of everything we’ve learned in the Bible (Jn. 14:26). If we want Him to call to mind verses we need as we go about our day, we need to memorize them. He reminds us of what we know. He doesn’t wave a magic wand to recall verses we don't know.
  • Memorizing isn't just a beneficial responsibility. We memorize God's Word because it is precious to us. We love it.

FAQ's

What do you believe?

The beautiful thing about discussions is that you're in control. I strongly believe that there's something to learn from everyone, but I wouldn't teach my kids from a Bible curriculum built on a foundation I didn't agree with. Here's what I believe:

-The Bible was written by men inspired by God and is wholly true and trustworthy. It’s the supreme authority in faith, doctrine, and practice. Unless a passage is clearly intended by the author to be read as an allegory, poetry, parable, or prophecy, the Bible should be interpreted literally. Creation, the flood, genealogies, narrative accounts of the Israelites, and miracles are to be read literally.

-There is one living and true God whom we know in the persons of the Father, Son, and Spirit. 

-God is the creator of the universe and is sovereign over all. He is perfect, good, and worthy of all honor. He has a plan for everything, and nothing will stop Him from working it out.

-Christ, the Son, took on human likeness and was born of a virgin, lived a perfect life, and died a substitutionary death for those the Father gave Him. He was raised from the dead and is seated at the right hand of God, acting as our Mediator. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead.

-The Holy Spirit testifies to Christ. He indwells believers, guiding them in sanctification and marking them with a seal of salvation.

-All men are totally sinful and in need of the Savior. Salvation can't be earned. It comes by grace through faith, and it is a gift of God.

-It is the privilege and responsibility of all believers to preach the gospel and make disciples, starting at home. Children are a blessing from the Lord. They should be taught God's truth through words and actions. They're never too young to learn about God! 

What denomination is Talk Through the Bible?

Talk Through the Bible is not affiliated with a particular Christian denomination. Our discussion guides aim to help you explain Christian doctrines to your children as you study through the Bible and various topics arise.

Do I need a particular version of the Bible?

No. The ESV is primarily used in our studies. Other translations are occasionally referenced for specific verses. However, you and your children will be reading out of your own Bibles. You can easily use your preferred translation for any of our studies.

Can this be used as a homeschool Bible credit?

Absolutely! As the teacher, you choose what your students receive credit for. You can use a few of these discussion guides to form a half credit, or you can bundle Genesis to Ruth with the addition of Job, our Advent guide, and our Easter guide to have 36 weeks of lessons. Each discussion guide contains links to additional reading and optional activities if you want your kids to do more to earn their credit based on age.

Can I use these discussion guides to lead Sunday School?

Yes! They're open-and-go, so they're convenient even when teachers have to rotate or need a substitute. The lessons can be completed in about 35-45 minutes, depending on the number of students and how quickly you push the discussion forward. I love discussion-based classes because the students get to know each other and form friendships, they ask questions, they learn what they're interested in because it's ok to go "off topic," and they make connections with the sermons. My church uses the Genesis guide to build a foundation in the 4th-6th grade discipleship class, but these guides can easily be used as in-depth Bible studies all the way through high school.
