I'm a pastor/teacher, and while I'm catching up on my weekly training with Joshua Rowe, he uses a highlighting program that lets him show us information by marking up teaching materials to help us understand how to use a particular program. I have a Windows 11 gaming computer, and I would like to teach my students using Joshua's method, showing them a red marker to indicate what to do. Thank you in advance for your help.- What is the Mac version? Joshua uses a Mac, so I'm thinking there is one.
- Bob, I think he said the presenter software he uses for Mac is called Presentify.
- That is correct for Mac, presentify.
- K. I'll re-watch the Prep Video this evening. If I get stuck, listen for my scream. ;)
- Haha...don't scream, just give us a shout through our ticket system or the chat -- remember there's 30m before the starting session where we're available to help!
- Is this the John Alger that lived in Iroquois Point housing in the 1970's? If so, please contact Yogi at yogaert@gmail.com!
- Can MP Seminars consider doing a series on making the best use of Reader Editions? Sadly, the days of Logos consistently and robustly tagging academic resources appear to be behind us. Many newer academic titles are no longer tagged for research in the way many of us have grown accustomed to over the years. To be clear, the vast library of resources that were carefully tagged in earlier years will remain valuable for a long time. Those tools are not going away, and they continue to support serious academic work. However, for those of us who want to meaningfully engage with new and emerging scholarship, the reality is changing. Increasingly, we are going to have to do more of the heavy lifting ourselves. Reader Editions are becoming more central to that work, whether we like it or not. Because of this shift, a practical series on how to get the most out of Reader Editions would be incredibly helpful. Guidance on workflows, annotation strategies, and ways to compensate for the lack of traditional tagging would serve a lot of users who are trying to stay current without abandoning Logos as a research environment. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
- The main reason I have for books in Logos is for note taking. In using the Notes tool you are creating your own tagging system. Make links 🔗 to other books and add tags at the bottom of the notes. Review MP’s videos on Notes.
- Faithlife bot reply: "Regarding your question about Logos and academic resource tagging: Based on the information available, there is no official statement indicating that Logos has stopped consistently or robustly tagging academic resources. Logos continues to provide access to tagged media and resources within its platform. If you have a specific concern about a particular resource or tagging feature, please let me know, and I can look into it further for you. Is there anything else I can assist you with?"
- You could use Microsoft's Snipping tool to capture the notes you want to take. Just a thought. I use it for a lot of things.
- If you are familiar with WordSearch you could select your favorite books by marking them. How do I put together a favorites collection?
- You can create a Collection which is found under Documents. Here is a sample collection I have made for all of my books by Martyn Lloyd-Jones. The nice thing is that whenever I buy a new book written by him, it is automatically added to my collection because of the criteria I entered under "Start with Books Matching." So you could title a collection "Favorites" and add as many books as you wish. Hope this helps (I think I learned about this from one of Morris Proctor's videos a long time ago ❤️). Once you have made a collection it shows up in your Library under the Collection filter.
- Another option is to use tags. Create a "Favorites" tag and tag your favorite books with that. It will show up in your Library under the MyTags filter. Morris Proctor had a system for tagging books that he shared under his video about searching your books. I downloaded his tags and have been slowly working through my entire library to implement his and some I have added.
Has anyone received information regarding how Plus members can register for the upcoming Camp Logos that starts January 28? I submitted a help ticket on the website but haven't received an answer back. Maybe there's a place on the website that I'm not seeing...- James A. Brownlee Plus membership is a new upgrade that includes access to live event streaming. https://mpseminars.com/shop/
- Hi James A. Brownlee Here’s a quick explanation of how our live events and subscription library work, and why they’re structured this way. For many years, we’ve hosted intensive multi-day events like Camp Logos. Those events can be attended live (in person or via livestream), and some of the teaching is later added to our on-demand training library when it reflects newer Logos features or workflows. When that happens, it takes time — usually 1–2 months — for our team to edit the recordings, break them into lessons, and build them into a structured course with progress tracking. Because of that process, subscription members don’t receive live-stream access or immediate archives by default. Live events require real-time hosting, moderation, technical support, and live Q&A, which limits how large those audiences can be. Our standard annual subscription is intentionally priced very affordably for access to a large, ever-growing training library — and live events require additional resources to support well. To meet the needs of members who do want live participation (and earlier access to newer content), we created MP Seminars+. Plus members receive access to all live events throughout the year (typically about once per quarter), along with early access to event archives before they’re edited into courses. That tier isn’t about withholding content or adding cost — it’s about supporting a different kind of learning experience. In short: - Subscribers receive structured courses added to the library after editing - Live ticket holders and MP Seminars+ members receive real-time access, live support, and early archives We always aim to be generous with content while also making sure we can support our members well. We truly appreciate all of our subscribers and want to honor their feedback by offering different access options and affordability. If you have any questions, just let us know. We’re happy to help.
- As a longtime subscriber, that is completely fair and reasonable. Thanks for that explanation. Blessings
- I’ve just finished working through all of the MPSeminars Subscription lessons, Weekly Workouts, and related materials, and it has been a tremendous blessing. I learned a great deal about topics I didn’t think would interest me, but once I began, I was amazed by the depth of insight provided. I highly recommend investing the time to either learn something new or refresh your thinking with practical tweaks that are both useful and time-saving.
- I’m in the process. It’s been like graduation; once you’re finished you realize you don’t know what you don’t know and how inadequate your skills are.

Yep Tom Bender, I’ve had that experience in past years/decades - esp after a Camp Logos. So much info so fast and so obviously useful - but so hard to remember! Especially as I get older. But recently, Joshua & crew have been diligently trying to “spoon feed” us bits and morsels gradually, which is a great way to do it. I just need to get more diligent about keeping up. I’ve found that the benefit of the live webinars is that we can ask Q’s as it progresses. And the benefit of the followup recording is that you can pause and you can skip past the “advertisements”. Kenneth L Tyler … I hope your memory is a lot better than mine. I’d love to hear back from you in say 3 months - to report how much of your marathon with the firehose actually “stuck” in your memory, long enough to use it adequately to ingrain it. For me, that’s what works best … learn a lot about a little bit, then PRACTICE. My prayer for the new year is that God will help me rearrange my time and get my new Mac set up and rolling, so I can dive in.- Mr. Dean , Yes...Let the Prayer of Consistency & Persistency in Our Endeavor to LEARN, REMEMBER & PRACTICE what we gain from ALL of The Training in years Past, Present & Future, AMEN
- to my knowledge only works with the ESV version
- Thanks. It works with NKJV as well.
- If you don’t own a base package from Logos 10 or previous that includes this, propositional outlines are only included at the Max subscription tier currently.
- Is there a way to search my notebooks to identify all notes that I have NOT included any tags? I have over 2000 notes but many I have not, as yet, taken the time to include tags. I'd like to isolate those notes that I need to review for tagging to more efficiently complete that activity.
- Jim Howard - I posted this note over in the MP Seminars Online group as well, but I'll paste here in case it helps someone else. Good question. Searching notes behaves differently if you search using the Notes panel search options versus an actual Search panel. Try these steps: 1. Open a new search panel 2. Choose a Docs search from the tabs 3. Paste or type exactly this into the search box: * NOT mytag:* ^^The count will be high because it's counting every word, but you'll still get what you're after 4. I *highly* recommend using the option you'll see at the top right to group By Type -- this will show you a Notes drop down you can use, which will display all notes without tags as hyperlinks you can open -- then do tagging as desired. A couple other notes - if you want to review each note, adding tags one-by-one as you review the note -- the method above works really well. However, if you want to have easier access to this list in the future (since you have 2k notes), I would recommend doing one of two things: 1 - maybe the easiest - After running this search and seeing that it gives you what you want... drag the search tab into your shortcuts area. This takes advantage of what we call a "Saved Panel State" (I have a couple videos on this technique on the MPS website). Basically it's a shortcut to run the search again in the future. Of course, if you run the search, then do some tagging, then run it again -- the tagged notes will no longer display so it's like having a dynamic to-do list that removes completed (tagged) items when you run the search again. 2 - more cumbersome - but if you wanted to open each note without a tag and ADD a tag that groups them all together (stay with me here...you'd need to do this one-by-one) but you could create a tag called notag and apply to each of these notes. Why might you do this? If you're annoyed by having to run a search and open notes from hyperlinks, and would rather use the Notes tool to add tags -- this will allow you to open Notes and Filter by the tag notag and do your work there instead of starting from a search panel. Another reason you might want this method is if you anticipate lots of your notes without tags needing to SHARE tags. So let's say for example you researched Angels a ton and you want to mark a bunch of notes with the Angels tag all at once -- you can add tags to multiple notes at once from the notes tool, whereas you can't do this from search results. I'll stop there. And someone may have another creative idea or may know a shorter way to do this--but at least this will get you going!
