Ethics in Leadership
Student 2025
2.1Assignment-Devotional-TheWayTheTruthTheLife.Prt2.docxGetting Started
Last week, we looked at the ideas of trouble, trust, and truth in John 14:1-14. This week we will look at some more ideas, including obedience and love as well as internal versus external guides.
This devotional assignment will continue to help you consider integrity, honesty, and other qualities of ethical leaders.
Background Information
Read John 14:15-24(new tab) (or listen to the chapter(new tab) ) as we continue to think about integrity and honesty.
After you have read the passage, consider the following prompts:
1. The passage makes a connection between three concepts: commands, obedience, and love. The ideas of commands and obedience are easy to connect to issues such as ethics and decision-making. However, love might not seem quite so natural a fit. From a Christian worldview (or another worldview if you hold something different), how does love fit into ethical conduct and decision-making as a leader?
2. The passage also refers to receiving the “Spirit of truth.” That is an internal presence and guide toward doing what is right that is deeper than just following an external expectation. What is the interaction of internal “truth” (e.g., God’s presence, values, ethical commitments, conscience) with external “truth” (e.g., laws, regulations, or policies)?
Instructions
1. Review the rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning your grade.
2. Review the Bible text and prompts provided in the Getting Started section.
3. Compose a 200 – 250 word reflection or journal (Word document) on the prompts included in the background information section.
Note: Your reflection does not need to answer each of the provided prompts. Rather, use those prompts to help stimulate your reflection. Your 200-250 word "journal" should simply be your personal and professional thinking that emerges from the reading and reflection.
