Learn about the three basic phases of recitation.
Begin by choosing the type of passage you’d like to reciteāa 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
With your passage prepared, it’s time to share it on stage. Practice at least once, including your introduction, and assign someone in the front row to prompt you if necessary.
On recitation day, you’ll be ready. Use this checklist for
a successful experience:

Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Others have felt the same way. Here are some stories from people like you that will grow your confidence.
Scripture recitation gives a new perspective and deeper understanding of the Bible.
It promotes discipleship and encourages everyone around to listen to the gospel message in a way that leads to greater understanding.
Reciting a passage of Scripture takes effort, but the benefits far outweigh the investment. That is why we promote it.

Biblical storytelling means internalizing Bible passages and then speaking them in a way that is authentic and compelling while maintaining the integrity of the original text.
The word āstorytellingā may be misleading because it is meant to include not only stories, but also teachings, psalms, and encouragement. That is why we prefer āScripture recitation.ā
