I found myself a bit bogged after about 35 verses, so I decided to try something new.<\/p>\n<p>I like to memorize while I walk to and from work, however, it is not always very convenient to hold the text in my hand. It can be hard to read while I&#8217;m walking and during the winter months it&#8217;s a bit clumsy with my gloves on.<\/p>\n<p>I finally found a great solution to my problem. I recorded myself reading John chapter 1:1-51<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/69.89.31.195\/~sukofami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/john_1.mp3\">john_1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Of course I could have downloaded audio from itunes of some &#8220;professional&#8221; reader but there are many benefits to listening to yourself read.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Recording yourself gives you the opportunity to think carefully about the\u00a0pronunciation\u00a0of every word<\/li>\n<li>It helps you think through where to place the emphasis in each sentence.<\/li>\n<li>It reveals any weak spots you might have in your speech.<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s totally free and easy and fun to do.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Making your own recording is really quite easy to do. Most mobile phones have some sort of voice memo application which can be used to record your reading.<\/p>\n<p>For iphone you can try:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/audio-memos-free-voice-recorder\/id304075033?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\">Voice Memo<\/a><\/span>\u00a0or\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.recordertheapp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Recorder App<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>For Android you might try:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.tokasiki.android.voicerecorder\" target=\"_blank\">Voice Recorder<\/a><\/span>\u00a0or\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.tylab.waverec16.lite\" target=\"_blank\">Wave Recorder<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>You can also try a simple portable mp3 recorder like this <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B004M8SSZK\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B004M8SSZK&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=sukfam-20\">Sony Digital Flash Voice Recorder <\/a><\/span>\u00a0I use the<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0038YX3AY\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0038YX3AY&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=sukfam-20\">Alesis PalmTrack Handheld Portable Digital Recorder<\/a><\/span>\u00a0which is great if you want a little higher quality sound.<\/p>\n<p>Once you get your recording made make sure you load it on your favorite mp3 player or your smart phone. I suggest trying to listen to the passage at least 3 times a day, although it depends on how long your passage is.<\/p>\n<p>The passage I&#8217;m working on is 51 verses and takes just over 6 minutes to listen to once. On my 25 minute walk to work I have just enough time to get through the passage 4 times.<\/p>\n<p>You might also want to think about other times when you could listen. \u00a0Below are a few suggestions to get you started.<\/p>\n<p>You could listen to Scripture when:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Doing the dishes<\/li>\n<li>Cleaning the house<\/li>\n<li>Working out<\/li>\n<li>Commuting<\/li>\n<li>Walking<\/li>\n<li>Eating your lunch<\/li>\n<li>Riding on the bus<\/li>\n<li>Waiting in line<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Question: What other ways can you think of to use audio for Scripture memory?<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.blubrry.com\/?media_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.blubrry.com%2Fnowisthetime%2Fcontent.blubrry.com%2Fnowisthetime%2Fjohn_1.mp3&amp;modern=1&amp;podcast_link=https%3A%2F%2Fsukofamily.org%2Fhow-to-use-audio-for-scripture-memory%2F#mode-Light&border-000000&progress-000000\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"165\" frameborder=\"0\" id=\"blubrryplayer-1\" class=\"blubrryplayer\" title=\"Blubrry Podcast Player\"><\/iframe><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nowisthetime\/content.blubrry.com\/nowisthetime\/john_1.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/sukofamily.org\/?powerpress_pinw=2254-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nowisthetime\/content.blubrry.com\/nowisthetime\/john_1.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"john_1.mp3\">Download<\/a> (12.0MB) | <a href=\"#\" class=\"powerpress_link_e\" title=\"Embed\" onclick=\"return powerpress_show_embed('2254-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Embed<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_embed_box\" id=\"powerpress_embed_2254-podcast\" style=\"display: none;\"><input id=\"powerpress_embed_2254-podcast_t\" type=\"text\" value=\"&lt;iframe src=&quot;https:\/\/player.blubrry.com\/?media_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.blubrry.com%2Fnowisthetime%2Fcontent.blubrry.com%2Fnowisthetime%2Fjohn_1.mp3&amp;modern=1&amp;podcast_link=https%3A%2F%2Fsukofamily.org%2Fhow-to-use-audio-for-scripture-memory%2F#mode-Light&amp;border-000000&amp;progress-000000&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; height=&quot;165&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; id=&quot;blubrryplayer-2&quot; class=&quot;blubrryplayer&quot; title=&quot;Blubrry Podcast Player&quot;&gt;&lt;\/iframe&gt;\" onclick=\"javascript: this.select();\" onfocus=\"javascript: this.select();\" style=\"width: 70%;\" readOnly><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/subscribebyemail.com\/feeds.blubrry.com\/feeds\/nowisthetime.xml\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe by Email\" rel=\"nofollow\">Email<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/feeds.blubrry.com\/feeds\/nowisthetime.xml\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p><!--powerpress_player-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>God&#8217;s Word spoken is powerful, Scripture memorized and then spoken has twice the effect.
