In a recent Question & Answer Center post, your Professor posited that your body is the office of the Holy Spirit, and as such, conducts Christ’s presence in the midst of relationships. As a conductor of Christ’s presence, you are the “Chief Executive Officer” (CEO) responsible for making wise office maintenance decisions.
After reviewing your notes from the readings and learning activities to date, thoughtfully do the following:
Noticeably employ insights from each of the readings, assessment, and presentations-to-date to describe the present state of the Holy Spirit’s office (i.e., your body). As the CEO, identify harmful and helpful patterns in your current approach to self-care. In what ways are these patterns causing you to languish and/or flourish?
Do not judge, over-analyze, compare, or attempt to fix!
Simply describe what you see rather than prescribe what you want to see.
As a co-conductor of Christ’s presence, noticeably use several insights from readings-to-date to develop a preferred office state. Sixty days out, what would that picture look like if you intentionally pursued self-care? Do not fix! Simply picture an office area with helpful patterns in place.
Delineate a practical strategy (i.e., small, measurable steps) to achieve the preferred state within sixty days. Noticeably integrate insights and techniques from readings-to-date. Keep your eye on the preferred state, anticipate resistance and relapse, and how to best return to the routine.
Make sure to use headings (3) so that the most inattentive reader may easily follow your thoughts. Use the annotated outline approach. Bullets should have concise, complete, well-developed sentences or paragraphs. Foster a “noble-minded” climate for investigating claims through well-supported core assertions (i.e., consider the validation pattern of the Bereans; Acts 17:11). For example, direct quotes and paraphrases of an author’s core notions or key concepts should receive citations with pagination or footnotes with pagination and References or Bibliography. Make every effort to prove that you care about the subject matter by proofreading to eliminate grammar and spelling distractions.
