For Journal 3, after finishing your Spiritual Assessment, I want you to imagine that an individual from your church came to you to seek spiritual counsel. He or she sought you out knowing that you were called to ministry. This imaginary individual is struggling with the exact same temptations you mentioned in your spiritual assessment. I want you to respond to his or her struggle with the message of the Gospel at the forefront of your response. I want you to answer the question, in your response, “how does the Gospel speak to this struggle/sin/temptation?”
