How do my life and ministry experiences relate to what we have studied today?

Reflective Journal Entry 3

Part One

Respond to questions 3, 4, and 5 from Macchia, page 148 ( Personal Rules of Life Questions). In anticipation of the text reflection paper for next week, begin to think of some creative means to make your own rule of life more personal than the charts that you’ve used to record your ideas.

Part Two

In week 2, you were asked to explain the gospel to 1–2 people this week. Note the experience in this week’s journal entry.

The reflective journal should blend three emphases:

· Your responses to the course materials, discussions, and assignments

· Your life experience relevant to the course objectives

· Your ministry goals and desires for the future

The journal should record your thinking from several class activities:

·  Questions to be answered at this time are Any assignments that are not to be turned in. Incorporate those assignments into your journal.

· What have I learned today?

· How might this material stretch me into new areas of learning?

· How do my life and ministry experiences relate to what we have studied today? Do they clash? Challenge? Confirm my experiences.

· How do this week’s memory verses apply to this week’s themes and to my life?

· Any other reading or experiences you may wish to include in your written record.
