The Best Note-Taking System in the World! (Now Improved!)

The Jonathan Edwards Note-Taking System (And the Free App Built For It) Jonathan Edwards used a 300-year-old note-taking method that's still one of the best systems for serious Bible study — Pastor Matthew Everhart calls it the greatest note-taking system in the world, and in this video I walk through it with a modern twist: how to digitize it using a free app built specifically around Edwards' "Miscellanies" method. In this video: the 5 essential tools you need (physical Bible, archival pen, color tabs, colored pencils, notebook), the 4 steps to execute the system (observe, capture, note, expand), and why digitizing your notes makes them exponentially more useful — searchable, cross-referenced, backed up, and accessible across devices. Want the app? Head to https://excavatingthetext.com to find it. It's completely free to use — when it asks for a donation, give what you'd like, or continue for free. Stick around to the end of the video — there's a reward in it for you.
