Top 5 Ways to Start Learning Romans 8!
Our Top 5:
1. Download Romans 8 songs to your i-pod or burn a cd:
If you can listen to music and sing along with a song, then you can memorize Romans 8! We are putting Romans 8 to music and have two songs available for downloading (covering Romans 8: 1-6)….3 more songs are written and are waiting to be recorded. Check back often for updates!
2. Download PDF’s of Flash Cards
This tool has been enormously helpful as people can just print out and cut the cards. When you see the verses broken down into smaller bits, it seems do-able!
3. Listen to Josie Coleman reading Romans 8 and download it.
Josie has a special gift for reading the word of God. When she reads it, one actually understands the meaning better. This can help us all listen to the context and meaning as we put the word in our hearts.
4. Games: Fill in the Blank and First Letters
Fill in the Blank - Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced is a great way to see how much you know already!
First Letters - Helps prompt you with the first letter of every word…several translations available.
This is an area we want to expand and seek your ideas and imput. Please share your ideas, tricks and tips. Email: info@romans8movement.com
5. Encouragement…watch what others are doing!
Just when you thing you can’t do it or you are getting stuck…watch others who are figuring it out along side you. We are posting your videos and your ideas and your progress. We are all in this together! Very few of us have ever done anything like this before and are really taking a leap of faith in committing to memorize an entire chapter!
BONUS: Find someone to memorize with!
It will help to have a buddy, or to ask your small group to join you, send an email to your family and friends and invite them to plunge into this journey with you, or blog your journey. We have received so many emails about small groups, churches and families who are memorizing together and we can’t wait to hear stories of how God will transform lives through His word.
Our Friends: We are making friends and we want to thank Rhettsmith.com who blogged about us!

I am a visual learner and saw that Marty drew pictures to help him memorize. I started doing that and the result has been awesome! I’m almost a third of the way through and the pictures are helping me remember the words to R8. I told some friends about it and now they are using pictures to memorize scripture too. Whenever I add to it, I just use a different colored pen. It’s also been helpful to use pictures that mean something to me and to use the same symbols over and over. For example, I used a picture of an accordian to represent “according”. It’s awesome! Thanks, Marty!
