Over the decades that Drake Mariani has been memorizing Scripture, he realized something important: all it takes is an image that can help jog his memory for the first couple words of a verse and then he can recite it. So he created an app called "Memlok" with the images he created. Listen to his story here!
Because we spend time walking through the Memlok app, it might be helpful to watch this interview on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXQ2Wz4EFJA
