J?????????????????OURNAL PORTFOLIO ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW It is recommended that you write a journal entry each week related to the journal portfolio prompt provided below. In Module 4: Week 4 Each of these assignments are built from four journal prompts. The goal of this assignment is for you to complete these as you are reflecting on course material and not to save them for Module 4: Week 4 INSTRUCTIONS Journal prompts require that students read, reflect on, and apply course material, theological reflection, and/or spiritual disciplines. Students will not submit these journals weekly. Instead, you will submit the journals for modules 1-4 in Journal Portfolio: Christian Postures Assignment in Module 4: Week 4 . The portfolio is simply a collection of these journal entries into a submitted Word document. The minimum word count is 350 words per journal entry. There is no maximum word count.

you must root it out of your life—this often takes surgery of the heart and it always takes submission of the will!] • 350 words respond Option 2: • Consider analogies you can imagine explaining the depth, scope, and insidiousness of pride. Describe pride in its many facets using this analogy. 350 words respond Module 3: Week 3 Imagining Blind Spots For Journal Portfolio Entry (3), write in the vein of C.S. Lewis’ Screwtape Letters. Here, use your imagination for this journal entry. Some students might not, at first, enjoy this prompt, but I believe if you give it a fair shot you will see the value. Write to utilize your imagination and some creative writing to do the following: “Imagine that in one year from now you had a moral-sinful failure in your life and ministry. Trace that sin back to its root in your life today.” As we will see later in this course, this discipline of tracing our fruit to root is a valuable practice both in reflection and in
