Ethics In Leadership Case Study Project
Getting Started
Throughout this Ethics and Decision-Making course, we are using the Gospel of John chapters 14 through 16 as the foundation of our devotional study. In these chapters, Jesus makes several clear and profound statements about who “He is.” While various ethical and religious systems define what is right, what is true, and where truth can be found differently, almost all ethical and religious systems subscribe to principles such as integrity and honesty, even if they define those ideas in diverse ways.
The Christian worldview grounds its perspective of what is real, what is right, and what are right actions in the person and teachings of Jesus Christ.
Background Information
As we study ethical considerations and how we make decisions as leaders, let’s continue to explore our worldviews and our spiritual foundations (as you’ve done in previous courses). That is, let’s continue to assess who “I am” as a person and, thus, as a leader.
This week let us begin with a reading and reflection of John 14:1–14(new tab) (or listen to the chapter(new tab) ).
After you have read the passage, consider the following prompts focused on three words beginning with the letter “t” in the John text:
Instructions
Note: Your reflection does not need to answer each of the provided prompts. Rather, use those prompts to help stimulate your reflection. Your 200-250 word “journal” should simply be your personal and professional thinking that emerges from the reading and reflection.

1.
The passage begins with encouragement from Jesus to the
disciples not to be
troubled
in 14:1 (Jesus has predi
cted his
betrayal and denial by the disciples in chapter 13:18
–
38). How are
these actions (betrayal and denial) like behaviors lacking integrity
and honesty?
2.
The passage next includes encouragement from Jesus for the
disciples to
trust
in Jesus 14:1. How i
s trust integral in the
passage for dealing with trouble, the actions of trouble, and the
potential consequences of trouble?
3.

the
truth,
and the life in 14:6. How is the idea of Jesus (and
follo
