Discussion Prompt:
One of the hallmarks of adult learning is a critical self-reflection and transformational process that occurs. Drawing on rich life experiences, reflection allows you to take a moment and consider what you already know, think, or feel about something. Often times, the process of reflection will reveal changes or adjustments you may need to make to your beliefs and assumptions, and transformation will occur.

In this discussion, consider the reflective process from a biblical perspective. How often in scripture are we told to examine ourselves, explore our hearts, and make changes in our lives if we need to?

The reflective process is more than simply thinking about past experiences. It involves exploring experiences in your life, finding connections and meaning in those experiences,  and then applying what you have learned in your life.  Note that reflective writing is still academic in nature.  You need to integrate sources and support the points that you make. Why do you believe what you do? In this case, your personal experience also becomes support you can use in your reflective process.

This discussion is asking you to reflect on the process of reflection.  Do you make it a regular habit?
