Which verses do you know by heart?
In the beginning God created...
For God so loved the world...
Jesus wept...
The invitation to hide God's Word in our heart is scattered throughout Scripture. But how much time and attention do we give to memorizing Scripture? And why is it such an important practice?
This week, we continue our series Six Ways to Engage Scripture After Graduation with a conversation about memorizing. We're joined by Jacob Thies, an InterVarsity alum from UW-Whitewater who's had a very unique experience with Scripture memorization. While in school, Jacob had the opportunity to play the role of Jesus in The Mark Drama*, which required a significant amount of memorizing. On this episode, Jacob is going to share about his tender encounter with Jesus while memorizing, and a few of his best tips for memorizing Scripture for ourselves.

(*If you're unfamiliar, The Mark Drama is exactly what it sounds like: a dramatization of the entire book of Mark. See below for more info.)
