REFLECTIONS
OVERALL REFLECTION STATEMENT
For my Communication’s goal I am submitting artifacts from my study in the Gospel of Luke, which includes artifacts from a virtual teaching time, a synthetic chart of the book, and a few papers I wrote. As I spent the year in studying Luke I felt more competent in communicating from Luke. I really enjoyed having this focus. I also had other opportunities to teach virtually. Each one presented new challenges as I learned to navigate virtual platforms.
The second group of artifacts I am submitting include some of the blog posts I wrote over the year. These challenged me to give attention to topics related to leadership and mission. I am continued to be reminded how much I enjoy communicating through writing. I also enjoyed asking other leaders to be a guest writer on my blog. This was another chance to include others.
The last group of artifacts I am submitting flow out of a desire to try short videos as a platform for communicating. These were an attempt at something new and involve others beside myself as well. I desire to use my leadership role to platform others and these communication artfiacts includes some of that.
LEARNING REFLECTION
As I developed in communication, I learned that I have to adapt to the times. Teaching in-person became limited due to the pandemic, so I needed to take advantage of other opportunities. It also gave me a chance to use different type of communication platforms. I saw how much I like writing and being creative in how I present. I also found that communicating on Zoom makes me second guess myself, since it is a challenge to receive good feedback. I definitely felt stretched and need to trust God with these virtual platforms.
Lifelong Development Statement
As a restful of these communication platforms I would like to continue to go deeper in Luke and teach from it. I do think I am better equipped in using Zoom, and will continue to take advantage of opportunities to use it. But most of all I was reminded that I would like to dedicate more time to communicate through writing.
