Anne Pate discusses making good decisions through values-based decision making and spiritual freedom. She notes that cultural assumptions emphasize self-determination and unlimited choices, but research shows this can make outcomes harder to live with. Instead, she advocates making decisions grounded in one's values and in collaboration with God through Ignatian spirituality.

When we lack freedom, we can pray for transformation by honestly naming attachments and holding ourselves as already spiritually free.

Krashen put forth five hypotheses of second language acquisition: the acquisition-learning distinction, the monitor hypothesis, the natural order hypothesis, the input hypothesis, and the affective filter hypothesis. Both researchers rejected the idea that children are blank slates and believed that language acquisition is influenced by internal, innate constraints.

This document discusses spiritual gifts and includes a self-assessment to determine spiritual gifts. It is divided into three sections that discuss understanding spiritual gifts, assessing your gifts, and living out your gifts. There are three categories of gifts - motivational, ministry, and manifestation gifts. Motivational gifts describe your motivation and passions. The assessment helps identify your primary motivational gift which is influenced by God and factors like DNA. While some gifts are more common, all are equally important. Living out your gift requires working with others who have different gifts in order to achieve a complete perspective.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

& tactics of how to get other people to
