I believe that every follower of Jesus should dedicate at least a small portion of their week to Bible memory. And to prove that you can do more than you realize, I've made it a goal to memorize the entire New Testament before I turn 40.

Yes, I used the loci method to memorize 300 rote verses and thank God loci was very memorable
@@annekepolak3510 Awesome!!
In elementary school, my Sunday School teacher drew a "house" on the chalk board and taught us the names 27 books of the New Testament in order. To this day, in my mind, I still "walk up on the porch" with four "pillars" engraved with the letter MMLJ (gospels), before doing the "action" (Acts) of taking off my coat and shoes to go into the "living room" (Romans). Then I duck into that little corner room (1 and 2 "corner"-inthians) before going to pay the bills (God's Electric Power Company / Galatians Ephesians Philippians Colossians), then relaxing in the "T room" (5 flavors, longest names to shortest - 1, 2 Thessalonians, 1, 2 Timothy, Titus). After a spot of refreshment, I can't forget to "phile" those bills and to thank "HE-who-BREWS" the T, the butler James, of course. Although James might be busy serving the twins and triplets (too bad their parents weren't more creative in naming 1/2 Peter and 1/2/3 John). Thankfully the tech guy, Jude, is very careful about what material he chooses to show (Reveal to) the kids on the big screen in the media room!
This is AWESOME! Thank you for sharing. If you'd be willing to share this in a future video, please read out to me: josh at biblememorygoal dotcom.
Blessed by this!
How brilliant! Thank you for sharing this with us!
That is so cool!!!! ❤
@@Rachellefker I did a video on the New Testament house several weeks ago. 😊
¡How powerful this method is! I began to use the memory palace to memorize 2 Timothy 3. I have memorized some chapters of Romans and Ephesians over and over again. I found that the more I memorized, through the traditional mode, the more lines I could remember by just reading them once, and that’s very valuable. However, after a long time without going over it I had a hard time keeping it in my mind. But the memory palace has been a big help because it’s similar to watching a movie.
I hope you'll keeping make this videos.
Greetings from Argentina
God Bless you and your family
Thank you for commenting, Pablo! You’re right - there are a lot of different methods and many of them are effective, but I like how the memory palace allows me to organize my memories for long-term storage.
This is amazing, especially in meditation of the word, you can start putting the words in certain places in your body to get a deeper under/ innerstanding of the word
I guess so...although I'm not 100% sure I understand what you're saying.
This is great. I learned about memory palaces only a week ago and have started using it. I was a bit skeptical about its use for scripture memorization, but I'm finding that that it really does help.
Agreed. It can be used in a number of different ways, but for me the power is in the ability to jump in at any point to find what I’m looking for.
very clear! A great resource I'll be sharing!
Thanks, Teresa!
Awesome!!!!!
Space repetition is a game changer!!!
Yes it is!
Thanks for introducing me to this method. It’s intimidating to try for some reason and I feel like I’ll run out of places to use but I think I just need to get started and give it a try.
Awesome! I'm so glad it's been helpful, Shelley.
@@BibleMemoryGoal yes thank you!
Congratulations from Brazil, Thanks for this video. God bless you. I'm Welder Dias from Eu Peregrino Channel. I'm memorizing the bible with the repetition method, but yesterday I started the tests with the memory palace.
I would like to suggest a video in which you can explain a set of verses in practice, maybe 5 verses in a row? Showing us how you thought these 5 verses. It could be 5 verses that you have already memorized in Philemon or Titus or Philippians. The goal would be a video with more practice than theory.
Excellent feedback...thank you! I’m working on a series of videos right now that I hope to record and publish at the end of this month. It’s coming!
@@BibleMemoryGoal Thank you so much. God bless you!
Gonna give this a try for my next book.
Let me know how it goes, Ty!
I use this method also and it is very effective. I'm totally stumped on how to create a palace for the book of Psalms though. How do I find a location with 150 different "rooms" and keep them all organized and straight...
It's almost impossible. That's why it's key to learn how to create a "palace network". Here are some advanced memory palace techniques that might help: ua-cam.com/video/glT5QESVWhg/v-deo.html
Last time i tried a memory palace it just WOULDNT stick. But i definitely could try again!! 😊
Might be worth a second try 🤷♂️
I guess I’m not fancy enough for a palace! I just have to put in the old fashioned work and memorize the Andy Davis way. Seriously I’m glad this works for some people but I am WAY too left brained for this!! I have no idea how anyone could ever remember anything this way! Have you heard of anyone else like me or do you think this works for everybody?
Haha! I definitely don't think that one method works for everybody, so no worries if this "fancy" method doesn't fit your style. That said, I will say that studies show that using some kind of organization method other than repetition helps most people retain the information for longer, so I would challenge you to continue looking around at different methods to see if anything does stick out to you, Robert.
@@BibleMemoryGoal thanks. I have memorized several books of the Bible and thousands of verses all over the Bible using repetition and it’s working for me! I think it’s just the way I’m wired. In fact for me the rhythmic repetition is strangely satisfying, even though for most people I know if they did it my way they would quickly lose interest. I find comfort in it. I really enjoy your channel! Thank you for making this available for people who are as passionate as you are about Scripture memorization!
Thank you Pastor for this technique, helps me in memorization. I can compartmentalize my memory verses per chapter. Maybe associate such with picmonics thanks
My pleasure 👍🏻
Hello, this is all very new to me!! Can you start me out with the easier verses and books to memorize?
Also is there a book that can help me get started with this? I think that would be easier for me to try and understand. Thank You
I’m sure there are books, but I find it’s better to learn by experience. We’re doing a training that’s available for anybody who is a patron of our Bible Memory community.
i have a question about the memory palace... if I use some certain object or place for representing a certain verse, can i use it for another one?
Great question, John. Personally, I rarely reuse a memory palace. The only thing that I reuse is the image that I place on that object/place to help me remember the verse number.
I’d love to email you or have a video chat. I think I’m on the same journey as you. You’re the first person I’ve heard talking about this.

Please check out Ron White, he uses the visualization and memory palaces to memorize, he is good as well
Yea, I’ve seen one of his videos on memorization and it was good.
modern memory techniques”, memory palace (aka memory loc) is an ancient technique 👌🏾 6:58
Good catch.
Hi. I am from Pakistan and love to watch memory boost training videos. I am really thankful to you for such a nice video you made for us. One question I have which is...
I have made only one memory palace having multiple locations which is used to memorize all kinds of data. Now I generaĺly do like I keep the main topic character (or question otherwise) involved at each and every location and make some rediculous story over there by using the key words into images so that at any particlar time if I have to pick any info from that location, there would be no crossing or intersection among the data from other topics that I had memorized before by using the same palace. So want to know your suggestion what should we do at that point so that we can get the exact data of that particular topic from the same location as it takes time to manage such situations for several topics. Thanx
Hi Rajab, I’m not 100% sure I understand your process, but I generally recommend that you create many different palaces that can be used for different sets of information you want to memorize.
@@BibleMemoryGoal Thanks a lot for your kind reply and suggestion. It helped me too.
Can I only use the memory palace once? So if I’m using my room for James can I not use that area again for anything else? Can I put different layers of scripture on the same spot over time.
It’s recommended that you only use a palace once if it’s a memory you want to keep for a long time. Only once that memory is set like cement can you consider reusing it.
Can I reuse locations?
I have experimented with memory palaces for academic pursuits, but with limited success. I think I'll give the books of the Bible a go, but it will take some planning to come up with 66 locations that are set out linearly in my 'palace'.
It’s best not to reuse palace locations until you’re absolutely sure you have it in long term memory.
Do you put whole verses in the different stations in your memory palace or portions or both
I put one verse in one location, personally.
How many memory palace have u created for Bible. How many station (1 for every verses)
I create one for every book of the Bible that I memorize, and then I divide that up into sections/rooms for the chapters and then places/stations in that room for each verse.
Good afternoon. if possible, that the brothers of your congregation can do readings in the bible in the New Century Version in the Gospels chapter by chapter continuously and more slowly; because in this version, we lack a lot and the language helps us in learning English. Thank you, 'for your generosity!!!
Thanks, Marcelo. Unfortunately I don't use the New Century Version.
Ron White is a world champion memory guy and he teaches how to memorize Bible chapters etc. w the memory palace method. Why don't you get him in for an interview!
I'll definitely try!
Once you've decided upon your palace, say your Thai home, do you draw it out/map out your home or perhaps your dining room (since you showed that picture), attaching verses? Or does it all remain entirely mental? Or, in the case of your current home, do you walk over and touch each piece of furniture/location as you read and recite the attached verses until you learn them well enough to do it strictly by memory?...I am back to edit after watching several more videos. I guess drawing the map might be better for your jail cell/Philemon since you cannot physically walk through anymore (yay for that!!). Do you draw out a palace like that first, then begin attaching? Another video, you mentioned taking photos of your hotel room -- do you have the photo in front of you as you memorize? Thanks for the advice.
So many different ways to do it! In some cases like the jail cell, I only have the memory to go by. In other cases I write each location down. In yet other palaces I take pictures to put with those notes and create a PowerPoint presentation. You do what is required based on your memory 😉
@@BibleMemoryGoal Thank you! We moved, so I don't want to use my new house yet as it is not in its settled state. But I decided for my first book, I will use my first school -- which is only in my mind's eye. It is amazing how much detail I can remember from it, though! I am going to start Philippians! I like the power point idea for the future.
Do you use a different place for different Bible books?
Absolutely, yes. I need to have a new palace for ever passage I memorize.
Please let us know how we can see your video on the New Testament House
What do you mean? All of my palaces are extremely personal and wouldn’t apply to anybody else (such as my childhood home).
@BibleMemoryGoal, he may be referring to the post by infertilitymom who explained how she memorized the NT (house) from her Sunday School teacher. Did you ever make a video on that? I'm new to your channel and was just reading through all the comments, so that was fresh in my mind. 😊 **Thank you** for creating this channel!!!
Really enjoyed the video. I'm fairly new to the concept, but I think I've got the idea down. I just have a couple of questions:
1) What do you do about adding new memory palaces after you've used the normal ones (e.g. your house, your office, etc.)? I can't think through having 66 or more memory palaces. Any advice would be appreciated.
2) I would like to memorize all the ESV section headers in the New Testament. For example, I John 1:1-4 - The Word of Life; I John 1:5-10 - Walking in the Light; I John 2:1-6 - Christ Our Advocate; etc.
I want to memorize not only the title but the chapter and verse range. I'm have a hard time thinking through how to attach that many numbers to a location in a memory palace.
I know memory champions memorize people associated for each number (either 00-100 or 00-1000). Would you recommend that?
Thank you for any advice you might have. It's been a desire for a while. I have one book down but it's sheer repetition. I'm hoping for a better way. The other 26 books are looking very daunting right now.
The more you use memory palaces, the easier it is for you to start creating them. Don't worry about creating 66 of them right now. Just worry about your next one.
As for numbers, if you plan to memorize a lot of numbers, it's definitely worth working through The Major System.
Thank you, @@BibleMemoryGoal. I went ahead and started learning a PAO System using the Dominic System instead of the Major System. It seemed more intuitive to me. Thanks for the reply! Really like your channel.
I have thought about using a local zoo as a Memory Palace. This is probably a strange question, but are you aware of anyone using the Major Memory System using only animals, where each number would represent a different animal? I can't seem to find one but thought it might be helpful if I were to use a zoo as a Memory Palace.
I haven’t heard of that, but I’m sure it’s possible! The only limit is your creativity.
Can I use the same “palace” multiple times?
It’s recommended that you don’t unless the memory is so far embedded in your long term memory that you no longer need the palace.

Great!
Someone has researched Jim Kwik!
I actually don’t know who that is 🤷♂️ The memory palace technique has been around for thousands of years, so there are plenty of resources to draw from.
Have you memorized the Book of Revelation in this way?
