Old woman here. I support all of these claims and I'm so proud of all of you wonderful moms who are doing this. (I still need it more than ever)

[@kirstensacco4368]

We need to hide God's word in our hearts not just our heads

[@ramicabranham6680]

I wish there was a way to give this 2 thumbs up. We were instructed to meditate and talk about the word throughout the day: when we rise up, when we walk down the way, when we are about to lay down... This was great. Thank you both ❤

[@lesliebucher9212]

God's Word IS powerful! We get familiar with His voice from knowing His Word! He always stays true to His own Word. He doesn't change His mind or waffle on topics. Truth stands the test of time. We can count on it. That is very, very good!! Thanks ladies😊

[@leannac2743]

Let the word direct & guide your life...everyday.

[@Simplefarmhouselife]

yes!!

[@sherrylee1072]

Praise the Lord when I first start opening my eyes, I’m alive,I know who and where I am, I’m able to get up…… 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@angelahagood3639]

Wow! I’ve been a Christian for around fifty-four years, and have struggled with memorizing scripture. I know that our spiritual battles start in our heads with that negative talk you mentioned. As a woman, my thoughts, (especially at night) start to surface. Before I know it I’m in full blown despair with this over analyzing of my bad thoughts, hurts, or ,as my pastor says “listening to old tapes.” And that’s exactly why Satan is called the accuser. But scripture is the weapon Jesus always fought the enemy with! Thank you for such a practical way to memorize scripture so that when the battle comes…and it will…I am ready! So glad I tuned in today!🙌🏻💕

[@Simplefarmhouselife]

thank you for sharing!!

[@BrandiNNiNi]

Literally sitting with my coffee and thoughts of never going to be good enough for my family. Thank you For today's reminders Lisa❤ God Bless you and your family 🙏

[@stknmggs1788]

This!!! What a beautiful visit with you! I love the Bible! The verses I memorized as a young person are there easy to access in my brain. I am 66 and am doggedly memorizing ps 103. I set it aside then pick it up again! It is important to me.

[@aprildaniel3845]

I absolutely love this!! And I also sleep to the Word of God. GAME. CHANGER. LIFE ALTERING. Nothing compares. ❤️❤️❤️ it’s EVERYTHING…..AIR

[@revonda5204]

Wonderful video, Lisa! Thank you! I'm so glad to hear about a easy way to memorize scripture to hide His word in our hearts,

[@azjersee]

Really enjoyed this, I need to spend more time in my Bible.

[@Lebanna2121]

I got some great tips out of this thank you. The tattoos and colours/designs didnt appeal to me but the ideas do. Also habit stacking... that works! And I can remember one line and immediately wrote down The Lord is Near... I love that!

[@kennethbailey9853]

❤❤Oh Yes! Thank you Always ! ❤️❤️🙂😁

[@angiewalker1948]

I've been memorizing with Dwell for four years. It's such a practical way to actually memorize the word, and think about it like we wish we would.

[@TheMennomilist]

It has been a long time since I memorized new scriptures. As a kid, I memorized full books of the Bible, and some of them I still know, as well as many many passages (I went to a Christian school most of my childhood). My church does weekly and monthly memory verses and usually they are ones I already know, but I really should start to learn ones I don't know. It is definitely harder to memorize compared to how easily I did it in the past. I used to make up songs to help me memorize things, and I still remember many of those songs!!

[@Simplefarmhouselife]

Memorizing to a tune really does help!

[@annamccosker7878]

This is amazing Lisa!! Exactly what I needed to hear, know, and practice. Praise The Lord for seeing me and each detail of my life right now! 🙏

[@Simplefarmhouselife]

glad to hear that!!!

[@pattiereiter9265]

Awesome

[@lexibattershell7602]

I so enjoyed this interview. I loved when discussing the “why “ of scripture memory - because Gods word says to! So convicting and that it truly is a spiritual discipline to develop

[@kristiecox7350]

This will be a great way to remember scripture. I’ve been needing to.

[@hippitiedippitie]

This video is priceless, thank you both so so much for chatting like this. 💚

[@mfpJ4ever]

Loved this, thanks!

[@Isaiah30v21]

Oh, thank you so much!! ❤️

[@Simplefarmhouselife]

You're welcome 😊

[@rachelseibert7882]

It really is true, His word follows you around. It speaks with you all through the day and night. A favorite of mine is Psalm 119:165, Great peace have those who love Your law and nothing causes them to stumble……Really great topic to share with your viewers. Thank you!

[@Simplefarmhouselife]

I'm KJV only but love the concept of memorization!

[@adayalavi1]

I am an atheist, but I do believe words has the power of changing our perspective.

[@ingweking8748]

Me too

[@haleyworkman3549]

Why are you an atheist
