Dr. John Fallahee’s webinar, "First Steps in Logos Essentials: Layouts, Collections, Guides & Notes," gives a clear look at the core tools that can help you dig deeper into the gospel in a way that’s both organized and purposeful. The session walks through how to set up custom layouts, build focused collections, and use notes, highlights, and labels to create a personal index of gospel themes.
Creating a Gospel‑Focused Layout
Start by opening one of the pre‑built Bible‑journaling layouts and then tweak it to fit your study routine. Add the Greek Word Study layout to see the original Greek text for passages like Matthew 2.11 or Revelation 1.1. 
You can also use the Add Parallel Text feature to view the gospel in two translations side by side, letting you compare wording and meaning quickly.
Building a Gospel Collection
Use the Collections feature to group all resources that speak to the gospel—commentaries, sermons, and study notes. A simple rule set might include a subject tag like "Gospel" and a type such as "Bible" or "Commentary." 
Once the collection is created, any new gospel‑related book you add to your library will automatically appear, keeping your study area focused and up‑to‑date.
Notes, Highlights, and Labels for Gospel Themes
As you read passages such as Revelation 17, attach notes and highlights to key verses. Then create a label called "Gospel Point" and apply it to each note. This turns those notes into a searchable index: simply search for the label and you’ll see every gospel insight you’ve recorded, no matter where it lives in your library.
- Use labels to track themes like "Salvation" or "Grace" across multiple books.
- Combine notes and labels to build a personal commentary on the gospel.
Putting It All Together
With a gospel‑centric layout, a dedicated collection, and a system of notes and labels, you’ll find it easier to study the gospel in depth and share those insights during evangelism. The tools shown in Dr. Fallahee’s webinar are designed to make the study process smoother, so you can spend more time reflecting on God’s word and less time hunting for resources.
