it was amazing

Hey [CORRECTED_NAME GOES HERE], there's so much to share with you from this past week I almost don't know where to start. Despite a huge thunderstorm that ripped through Dallas last week and delayed a bunch of flights, we still had hundreds of people join us for our second annual Scripture Sync Dallas.
It was amazing.
This week has been spent trying to recover from the exhausting joy it was to put on this event and also try to finish editing the replays.
There were two pretty big things we announced during Scripture Sync this year that you might be interested in:
A NEW Book!: It's called The Chapter Code and while it's not yet available on Amazon, those who joined us were able to get a beta print to try out. You can click the link above to join our launch team for when it's published in the fall.
A Church Workshop Curriculum: We want to equip you to bring your passion for Scripture memorization to your church or community group, so we have a 6-module church workshop now available. More details below, but for the next week after Scripture Sync we're offering the curriculum for 50% off. Over 30 churches have already decided to use it in the past 3 days!
What is this Church Curriculum?
I've been getting a lot of questions about this since we don't have much of a website built that explains it all yet. Here's what it is:
This Bible memory curriculum gives churches everything they need to host a Scripture memory workshop right out of the box, including teaching videos, leader guides, printable materials, promotional messaging, and tools to get leadership buy-in. It is built to scale for any size group, repeat as often as needed, and use without ongoing subscriptions, licensing fees, or complicated setup.
The curriculum is broken up into six modules that can be done over a 3- or 6-week period. This includes:
Module 1: Start with “Why”
Module 2: Going from Big to small
Module 3: Methods for Memorization
Module 4: Advanced Memory Techniques
Module 5: How to Review & Retain
Module 6: The Key to Staying Motivated
Each module includes a detailed leader's guide, printable participant worksheets, and a video lesson from me (Josh). We've already had a number of churches complete the workshop and the feedback has been amazing!
If you've been wanting to share your passion of Scripture memory with your church or small group, we spent months developing these materials just for you.
You can reply to this email with any questions or you can take advantage of a 50% off launch offer for this program. It's normally $199 but the Scripture Sync offer is only $99 for the next week only.
*We have scholarships available! One of our members has graciously donated scholarships for 5 churches, so if you're interested in this workshop but your church can't afford it, please reply and let us know.
📣 The Wild Reason Tim is Memorizing Luke
I first saw Tim on Instagram as he documented his journey to memorize the entire Gospel of Luke in just 6 months. That by itself is very impressive, but the reason why he is doing is is even better. Don't miss this inspiring conversation!
Looking for a low-tech way to review your verses? Elliot shared a clever "decoder card" idea that gives just enough hints to jog your memory without revealing the entire verse.
The post sparked a great conversation about analog Scripture memory tools and creative ways to review without relying on your phone.
After searching for a long time, community member Kenneth found the entire book of Colossians set to music in the ESV and shared it with the community.
If music is part of your memorization strategy—or you've been looking for more Scripture songs in your preferred translation—you'll want to check out this resource and the conversation.
One of the richest spaces in our community is our Reflection & Application space, where members share how the Scriptures they're memorizing are shaping their hearts and daily lives.
Be encouraged by what God is teaching others, then take a moment to share your own reflection.
Want to see other photos from Scripture Sync? Check out the Bible Memory Goal Instagram profile. I'm also going to publish a short video recap on YouTube tomorrow that you'll enjoy.
I know that's a lot for one email, so if you're reading this far, thank you :)
May the Lord bless you this week as you enjoy World Cup games, summer vacation, maybe some family travel and an upcoming July 4th celebration (at least if you're in the US). Hit reply and give me an update on what you're up to. We'd love to hear it!
