Comments on: Tim Keller’s Preaching Notes: How Do You Prepare Your Notes? http://rhettsmith.com/2008/10/tim-kellers-preaching-notes-how-do-you-prepare-your-notes/ Thu, 10 May 2012 14:59:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Rhett Smith http://rhettsmith.com/2008/10/tim-kellers-preaching-notes-how-do-you-prepare-your-notes/comment-page-1/#comment-2996 Rhett Smith Tue, 07 Oct 2008 03:54:52 +0000 http://www.rhettsmith.com/?p=1103#comment-2996 Good question. It's more comprehensive than what I will say or how I use it. But I have been usually placing an idea in a middle of a paper (circled) and using symbols, drawings, etc. to expound on that idea. So for example. Say I want to do a sermon on creation. I might start with Creation in the middle, circled. From there I might diagram out from there the concept of "imago dei", or sin, or redemption. Each of those have strands that shoot out from those. I guess what I'm really getting at, and not explaining, which is probably the point..is that mind maps is a more creative way to plot out our thinking. It really combines the best of our left and right brains. For me it's a work in progress. But I find myself drawing more of these ideas visually out in my Moleskine than I do writing out lists, etc. Sorry, not helping you very well. http://www.tonystewardblog.com/2007/02/28/mind-meister-feature-1-publish-your-mind-maps/ rhett Good question.

I am interested in his question as well, not being familiar with Mind Mapping.

I am not sure I understand what the Mind Map idea is. I followed the links and did not fully understand. I like you am interested in the way speakers prepare notes. I personally just use key words, so my notes would just be about 4 or 5 words with the corresponding reference (scripture). What would your notes look like? Help me here.
