What happens when a global ministry leader hits burnout, and God responds with a call to memorize the entire New Testament? In this episode, Paul Childers, co-founder of Word by Heart, shares how his mother’s radical decision to memorize Revelation under house arrest ignited a generational passion for Scripture memory.

You'll hear how Paul’s own cry for spiritual renewal led him to launch a worldwide Bible memory movement, and why he believes “the truth is in the whole.”
