Discussion: Agents of Change
Give an example of how you have applied biblical principles like the One Another Concepts in your life and relationships.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 says, "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up" (Bible Gateway, 2011). I tend to compliment people all the time. I believe that giving compliments fosters good relationships and enhances feelings of well-being. Words have power, and they can provide people with self-confidence, encouragement to complete goals, and the knowledge that you can be trusted. Giving genuine compliments can help build stronger relationships and let people know they are essential and that you notice them.
Question 1. Describe a transformation you have seen or as an agent of change in someone else's life and how that change happened.
Question 2: Think of an area of your own life in which you want to see change. It could be a habit you want to break, getting out of an unhealthy relationship, eating more healthily, exercising more, etc. Explain in some detail the behavior you would like to change.
Question 3: Now, identify which stage of change you are in: contemplation or preparation. (You can't be in the pre-contemplation stage if you want to change, and you can't be in the action stage if you are still waiting to see change.)
Question 4: Explain what you've tried thus far to make the desired change. What has kept you from being able to achieve or sustain your desired change? Complete your assignment now!
