Capstone: Apl Prac & Princ Ldg

1.2 Assignment. One Anothering Devotional Part 1

Getting Started

As you complete this capstone course for your academic degree, our final devotional series is going to revolve around the phrase “one another.” The phrase is used 100 times (original language) in the New Testament. Jesus used it almost 50 times in various instructions to his followers. Certainly, we will not be able to look at every biblical occurrence of the phrase in the few weeks of this course. However, we can look at some important items, and consider how we might apply them to leadership, especially, the relationship element of leading and serving others.

Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:

· Articulate the relational element of leadership in community.

Instructions

1. Read or listen to the Bible Passage noted in the Background section.

2. Review information in the Getting Started and Background sections.

3. Consider the following thought starters:

a. What does it mean to be like-minded? What does it not mean?

b. In what ways have you seen or experienced like-mindedness (or not) in your life? Organizations?

c. What is one leadership theme, principle, practice, or source that you studied in the program that you can relate to being like-minded with others in the organization?

d. What lessons can you deduce from your experiences and reflection to help you in your current and future leadership roles? In your personal development? In your spiritual development?

4. After reading and reviewing this information, write and submit a half-page reflection paper (Word document) that shares your thoughts/perspectives on the themes of this devotional.  You do not need to answer each of the thought prompts. Rather, reflect on the questions and then compose a thoughtful response.
