Leann’s faith-based memory workshops are gentle, research-informed learning experiences created for people who want to rebuild trust, both in their memory and in God’s Word, without pressure, shame, or performance.
These workshops are not about memorizing faster.
They are not seminars built on fear of forgetting.
They are guided experiences in remembering differently.
At their heart, these workshops create space for people who love Scripture but feel uncertain, discouraged, or quietly anxious about their ability to remember it. They offer reassurance that faith is not measured by flawless recall, and that God’s Word remains alive and active even when memory feels fragile.
A Different Kind of Memory Workshop
What makes these workshops unique is how intentionally they bring together three elements that are rarely held in the same space.
First, Scripture memory is approached as spiritual formation, not a cognitive contest. The focus is not on how much someone can recite, but on how God’s Word shapes prayer, comfort, reflexes, and daily decision-making. Scripture is treated as something that forms the heart over time, not something to perform on demand.
Second, learning science is translated into humane, sustainable practice. Principles such as spaced repetition, rhythm, retrieval, and cognitive anchoring are explained in accessible ways and adapted for real lives—especially for people who feel tired, overwhelmed, or discouraged. Nothing is technical for the sake of being impressive. Everything is practical, compassionate, and usable.
Third, these workshops are taught from lived experience. The practices shared have been tested through personal memory loss, rehabilitation, and rebuilding. Participants are not asked to trust theory alone; they see what is possible when grace, science, and faith meet.
What the Experience Feels Like
The workshops are interactive, welcoming, and intentionally low-pressure. Participants engage through short teaching segments, gentle memory exercises, shared Scripture practice, and guided reflection. There is always permission to adapt rather than perform, and no one is asked to prove what they remember. Instead of leaving feeling evaluated, participants leave feeling understood.
These workshops work especially well in churches, women’s groups, retreats, classrooms, caregiver settings, and organizations serving adults navigating memory change. They create safety for people who often feel “behind” and quietly restore hope that Scripture memory is still possible—just not in the way they may have been taught before.
Why These Workshops Feel Different
Most memory programs begin with urgency: Don’t forget this.
These workshops begin with grace: You are not broken.
Success is redefined. Perfect recall is not the goal. Scripture surfacing naturally in prayer, courage, comfort, and conversation is. Faith and science are held together without diluting either. Cognitive realities are respected, and Scripture is never reduced to a technique. Participants gain confidence because both their brains and their beliefs are honored.
Because the teaching comes from inside the struggle rather than from the sidelines, participants often say the room feels different. There is relief in learning from someone who understands memory loss firsthand and has walked the long road of rebuilding trust in both mind and faith.
Just as importantly, the workshops gently shift the focus from individual performance to lasting legacy. Participants begin thinking beyond themselves—how Scripture can be modeled, shared, and lived in ways that continue to bless others even when exact wording fades.
What These Workshops Are Really About
At their core, these workshops help people rebuild confidence in their memory and rediscover Scripture as a living, sustaining presence—without guilt, pressure, or fear. Participants learn that forgetting is not failure. Memory change is human. Faith is not measured by recall speed or accuracy. They come to understand how memory actually works, why many memorization attempts fail, and how small changes in rhythm and repetition can make God’s Word more accessible again.
Scripture is practiced as formation, not performance. Over time, it moves from short-term effort to long-term presence—reshaping inner dialogue, prayer, and daily choices. And perhaps most meaningfully, participants leave with a renewed sense of hope. The question shifts from “Can I still memorize?” to “How is God’s Word living through me?”
Who These Workshops Are Designed For
These workshops are for people who love God’s Word but feel uncertain, discouraged, or overwhelmed when it comes to remembering it. They serve believers who feel behind in Scripture memory, adults navigating aging, illness, stress, trauma, or cognitive overload, and women carrying many roles with little margin. They are well-suited for church groups seeking formation without guilt, educators and caregivers supporting others with memory challenges, and anyone thinking seriously about faith as a legacy rather than performance.
They are not designed for competitive or speed-based memorization environments. They are not about showing what you know but about becoming shaped by what you love.
In the End
These workshops remove shame from forgetting, restore trust in the mind, and help Scripture take root deeply enough to live on—through prayer, action, and legacy. They are for anyone who fears that forgetting has disqualified them from Scripture memory—and is ready to discover a truer, gentler way to let the Word dwell richly within them.
