In December 2023, I was given a verse memorization box by a dear friend. I had grown up hearing how important it was to memorize Scripture, but it always felt daunting and unattainable. I would try to memorize verses, only to forget them days, weeks, or months later. Nothing seemed to stick—and to be honest, I lacked the vision for why it mattered.

My friend explained that memorizing Scripture using this box would take just 2–5 minutes a day. He told me that if I stayed consistent, I’d look up a few years later with hundreds of verses stored in my heart—and that it would change my life.

He was right.

Today, I’ve memorized hundreds of Bible verses, and I can confidently say it’s the single greatest gift I’ve ever received.

Naturally, after seeing the profound impact this Scripture memory box had on my walk with Jesus, I wanted to share how this tool has helped me and I began making them for people I loved.

To their surprise, memorizing Scripture was far easier than they expected with this box method. Their own walks with Jesus began to transform—and soon, they were sharing the box with others as well. I started getting requests to make more boxes and to share the links so others could build their own. Eventually, it became clear that this wasn’t just a personal project anymore. The idea to mass-produce the box and make it accessible to more people began to take shape.

Scripture memorization is not a suggestion—it’s a spiritual necessity. The Bible makes this clear (Joshua 1:8, Psalm 119:9–11, Deuteronomy 6:6–7). It’s our only offensive weapon against the enemy (Ephesians 6:17). It’s how Jesus Himself fought Satan’s lies in the wilderness (Matthew 4). When we store the Word in our hearts, we are putting on the belt of truth (Ephesians 6:14), equipping ourselves to share the Gospel with the very words of God—words that are “living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword” (Hebrews 4:12).

When preparing to teach, preach, lead a Bible study, having Scripture hidden in your heart helps you see the big picture. You begin to understand the Bible not as 66 separate books, but as one unified Word of God. It deepens your understanding and sharpens your ability to teach.

The benefits of storing God’s Word in your heart are undeniable—not just for me, but for anyone who takes it seriously. One of those people is my uncle, Gabe Wight.

When I shared the idea of Stored Word with Gabe, he was all in from the beginning. A faithful mentor and leader in my life, Gabe brings a deep love for evangelism, a bold commitment to truth, and a passion to leverage every part of his life for the Kingdom of God.

Together, we took the same verse memorization method that had shaped our lives so deeply and began dreaming of how to put it into the hands of as many believers as possible. We weren’t just building a product—we were sharing a lifestyle of daily communion with God’s Word.

That’s when Stored Word was born.

This ministry is the overflow of a simple discipline that changed everything. And it’s our prayer that it helps you store up the Word of God in your heart—so that your love for Jesus grows deeper, your faith grows stronger, and your witness grows bolder.

Our first boxes were made of supplies purchased from Amazon.com. We love The Stored Word available on this site, but if you want to make your own, here are the links. Box, (2X)Index Cards, Dividers
