Text notes will answer these basic questions:
(1) What fundamental message is the text's creator trying to convey? That is, if you were to summarize their message, it would be this…
AND
(2) How do the texts for this week resonate with you personally? For instance, do they "disturb," challenge, or confirm your worldview? Do you want to embrace or push back against their message? Perhaps they cause you to reconsider a moment from your past that you're now seeing in a different light? Write about it.
Complete question #1 for each reading (a short summary of the reading - bullet points or key phrases often work well here).
