What if somebody dedicated themselves full-time to memorizing the Bible? How far could they get? How long would it take to finish the New Testament? In this episode, we talk with my friend Jonathan Bradford who discovered the answers to these questions himself.
He explains how starting small and staying focused on a clear purpose were essential. With strategies like persistence, consistent prayer, and effective memorization techniques, he balanced learning new passages with regularly reviewing older ones.

Most Christians don't read their Bible anymore and it's shocking how many lack basic knowledge of Scripture. Is this a product of our society or our churches? And what can be done about this? Brad East, associate professor of theology at Abilene Christian University, explains the critical idea of "Biblical literacy in a post-literate age" and the challenges of reaching a generation that is not reading as much as before.
We explore the importance of Bible memory and creative ways to engage with Scripture, emphasizing the need for a new approach to discipleship and evangelism in a changing world. This thought-provoking conversation offers insights into the future of Biblical literacy.
