This is more than just a podcast to me. This was started to help me stay accountable to my own Scripture memory goals, so today I'm going to recite the entire book of 2 Timothy to you while walking around a park near my home in Thailand.

This was a book I memorized last year but have been slowly moving into long term memory. This is the first time I have recited the whole book while recording and you'll hear plenty of mistakes along the way.

To learn more about how I memorized 2 Timothy in 30 days, watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAChGGq40s4
