Section #1

• Read pages 1-48 (including chapters 1-2) in John Ortberg's Soul Keeping.
• Watch the 25 minute #1 video lecture "What Is the Soul?" on the Soul Keeping DVD.
• Create a reflective response to the material presented in the reading and on the DVD. Choose ONE from among the following options or ask Brad for approval to do something else of your own design.

A.  Write a 800-1,000 word essay that includes the following information -- an explanation of the biblical perspective of the soul, what constitutes a healthy integrated soul, a preliminary assessment of the areas where you think there might be disintegration in your own soul. Email it to Brad -- bboydston@piu.edu. Embed your writing in the email (that is, do not attach a document).

OR

B.  Create a five to ten minute video with original content that explains the biblical idea of the integrated soul -- including the relationship between the will, the body, and the mind. Illustrate your presentation with stories from your own life. Edit it for presentation and then post it privately on YouTube and send Brad the link so he can watch it.
