Scripture Memory & Archaeological Evidence | Creation.Live Podcast: Episode 9
FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 2023

"Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You" (Psalm 119:11 NKJV). Scripture memory was important thousands of years ago, but is it still relevant today when we have several Bibles on our bookshelves and smartphones? Should Christians still commit themselves to Scripture memorization? And how can archaeology strengthen our faith in the accuracy of the Bible?

In this episode, hosts Trey and Ivana chat with the Bible Memory Man, Professor Tom Meyer, and ICR's Chief Academic Officer Dr. Jim Johnson to discuss the importance of Scripture memory for the Christian faith, three practical ways to "hide God's Word in your heart," exciting archaeological finds that confirm biblical history, and more.
