The minor difference between column A & B is that in column A, you filter out and look at verses or passages that spoke to you or you found insightful. Ex. you may read the entire chapter of Romans 3, but only a few things stick out or many things do. So you focus on just specific verses. And in Column B, you narrow in a bit more. How does it relate to you, why did it speak to you, what thoughts connect to this verse, etc. Be creative and ask active, open ended questions.

I like that it forces you to sift through the messiness of why you do/think certain things and what concrete actions you can take to change that. I often find myself spending a lot of time poring over passages while being reluctant to spend time seriously trying to apply them to changing my life. It requires that I analyze where I am at currently, where I want to get to, and how to get there. That's MUCH more work than just reading a passage and comprehending it. Only critique of the 3 column method is that Column A and B seem to overlap. It might be enough to just do a 2 column method OR say: Column A is simply to quote or paraphrase the passage, Column B is to unpack what it meant to you, and Column C details how it applies to your life.
