Begin by choosing the type of passage you’d like to recite—a story with special meaning, a clarifying teaching, or a passage of praise that resonates with your heart. Once you’ve chosen a text, set a recitation date. Talk to your pastor or coordinator and give yourself at least a month to prepare.
Now focus on analyzing, understanding, and memorizing your passage. Use the “Verses Bible Memory” app for memorization, and practice reciting out loud. Join a study group or use the Bible study available at byheart.org to help you understand the original intent of your passage.
Say It: Speak the Word with Confidence & Clarity
