The Soul of Your Leadership Journal

During weeks 4–6 & 8 of this course, you will read Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership by Ruth Barton. A journal prompt on a select topic will be provided to you via the course site in each these weeks. Please write a substantive response of approximately 1.5 pages (about 400 words) to each prompt based on your own processing of the Barton text. What is God saying to you in this area of your life? How might he be challenging you toward further growth?
Entry Prompts
Entry 1, Week 4: Set aside some time to prayerfully completing the “How is it With Your Soul?” assessment by Ruth Barton. As you move through each statement, prayerfully reflect on each question asking God to help you see yourself as you really are and your life as it really is. These items form core ideas to be discussed throughout your reading of the book. In your journal entry, identify a few areas where you sense that God might be calling you to do some soul work to grow personally and improve your leadership.
Entry 2, Week 5: Based on your reading of chapters 3-4, reflect on your current experience of silence, listening, and attentiveness. What is your current experience of solitude and would you consider it a “lifeline” or a place where you settle into yourself in God’s presence (p. 229-30)? How are you doing with attentiveness? Are you experiencing a longing to receive a word from the Lord? How accustomed are you to paying attention to the times when your heart burns within you (consolations/desolations)?
