Practical Theology Course Session Four: Every Program Teaches
Session Four Reflection Questions
Use the four questions introduced in this session to work through one situation in a ministry setting you know. You can also use the video’s example about who gets invited to lead.
What is happening? Describe what you’ve observed about the situation. Separate those observations from your assumptions.
Why is it happening? Consider the experiences, habits, or expectations that could be influencing what you see. Note what you’d need to learn to understand the situation more fully.
What ought to be happening? Return to one of your theological rocks. Describe what the situation could look like if that conviction shaped how people were treated.
How might we respond? Identify one change you could make or suggest that would better reflect that conviction.
