I’ve been hearing about the practice of examen for awhile now. I’ve briefly looked into it and thought it looked good, but never really delved deeply into it. Then, an God-send came in the form of a web-app. I know, I can hear it now. Why do you need the internet to worship and study God’s word? Well, I’ll tell you. EXAMEN.me brings the whole concept of “examen” to the masses. It comes in two versions, free and registered. The great thing is that both are free. The only difference is that the registered version allows you to journal and keep your notes saved on the website as well. Personally I would rather journal in a seperate notebook and simply let the site lead me through the process. This past week I used it in my Sunday School class. I printed out a sheet that gave each teen five different passages to choose from and led them through the same process found at EXAMEN.me. The students were not only quiet, but actually spent the entire Sunday School time digging deeper into God’s Word for themselves and were able to share with each other after class what God had pointed out to them. The site puts “examen” into an easy to understand process. I for one endorse this site fully.
