Assignment
Lesson 4 Reflection Activities
Completion requirements
Each of the 4 marks of a shepherd can be useful metrics for us to reflect on our relationship with God. How can I know God’s voice? How well is God feeding me? How well do I follow God? How safe do I feel with God?
The two ways that we can practice building our relationship with God (and others) are: the ministry of presence and the ministry of absence.
-
Identify your personal leaning: Are you more at ease with the ministry of presence or the ministry of absence? What are some particular action steps that you can take to lean into the ministry that you are less comfortable with?
-
What are some identifiable differences between praying for people and practicing intercessory prayer? Have you experienced any moments of intense intercessory prayer for people that resulted in hearing specific messages from God for them? If so, what were those experiences like, and how did they impact your shepherding influence on your people? If not, why do you think that you have not had these experiences?
