Vision Journey

As I look at the stories that have shaped my life, it is clear to me that the narratives of yesterday still speak to me today in some significant ways. The stories that mark my journey paint a picture of what has been meaningful, right and good in my life. The insights into those stories became tools to discover who I am and where I am going.

Where I have come from…

I should never have volunteered to help my dad paint my grandmother's house. A fear of heights wasn't my only fear as a child but it was close to the top of the list.

My father, as far as I could tell, wasn't afraid of anything. He grew up on a farm, spent time in the Navy, and was a carpenter by trade. If he was frightened by anything, I never knew. I thought it was ironic that he was telling me to climb the ladder. I was the chicken-he was the strong man.

Feeling sick with fright I climbed up the ladder that rested on the backside of my grandmother's two-story Victorian house. The angle was shockingly steep. I climbed the rungs one cautious step at a time, carefully measuring every movement. With a can full of white paint in my hand I calculated each move as though my life depended on it. The higher I climbed the more I was aware of the danger.

My dad held the ladder and coached me from the ground while I clung to the ladder for support. Finally at the window I dipped the brush in the paint. I noticed how slowly my hand moved. I didn't want to die this way-not with paint. My throat tightened. My heart pounded. I can recall thinking, "Why am I up here instead of him?"

My dad sensed my discomfort and spoke to me the whole time. My father was intuitive. The words he spoke did little to calm my nerves. As a matter of fact, his words seemed somewhat corny. He said, "Don't worry Troy, if you slip, I will catch you. It may kill me but I will break your fall."

The words stuck in my mind for twenty years. "It may kill me but I will break your fall." Neither cute nor creative-but honest. "Would my father risk his life to save mine?" The most basic notion of love, sacrifice, and human value came to me in the troubled times of my teenage years. For some strange reason the fact that my father loved me dawned on me. I became aware that people matter. Human value. Love. My father taught me to value people. Relationships are worth seeking, making, and even worth dying for.

Jesus said, "You are my friends…" John 15:15

There was a knock at the door of my cabin. It wasn't the careful curious knock but an insistent pounding. I made my way to the door and opened it. Curtis stood before me. I noticed the sun had yet to rise. Curtis was my teacher in the seventh and eighth grade. He became my friend in high school and now was my co-worker at camp. But as it turned out, Curtis was, and is, always my teacher.

"Get in the truck."

For as long as I had known Curtis I understood what was important to him. Life was an opportunity to learn. He seized teachable moments from dawn 'til, well just before dawn.

I began to imagine a camper with a broken leg or maybe a discipline problem arose in the night. I quickly put on a pair of shorts and a pair of old canvases tennis shoes. As the sun began to make its way through the trees I jumped into the yellow pick-up. The truck lurched forward and we began to drive up the hill.

I rode quietly. Curtis was silent. I became suspicious. He parked the truck beside the horse arena. A sickening suspicion that I should know why I was hauled out of bed that morning crept over me. Five am. "What were we doing here," I thought to myself. Then it hit me. I asked Curtis to teach me how to ride a horse.

He was the best "cowboy" trainer. When I asked him for lessons I was somewhat kidding. He turned out to be quite unfamiliar with the phrase, "Just kidding." I recalled the moment I blessed him with the opportunity to become my teacher at horsemanship. He just smiled a crooked grin-like he knew a secret he might someday disclose. Today was the day.

I looked at my feet where the canvas shoes, peppered with holes, pretended to protect my toes. Just in case I might be mistaken I thought I'd ask, "Curtis, what are we doing here?" I knew the answer. He smiled. "Go catch that horse over there." He pointed to the large brown horse on the other side of the arena. He picked up a piece of rope that was lying on the floorboard of the pick-up and handed it to me. I took the rope and made my way to the arena. I knew better than to whine out loud-so I whined to myself.

I moved toward the horse and the horse moved away. Every time I got close to the beast he managed to run the opposite way. Two hours I ran after that animal. Frustrated and angry, I hopped over the fence and came up to the truck where Curtis watched. "What am I doing wrong?" I whined (out loud this time). He reached out his hand and I handed him the rope. "Watch carefully" he said. He stepped toward the horse and the horse began to move. But when the horse moved left he stepped sharply left and cut off the angle of escape. Back and forth, left to right, he marched toward the horse cutting off every angle. The horse finally stood still. He put the rope around the horse's neck and walked the beast back to where I stood watching.

He let the horse go and handed me the rope. "What did you see?" he asked. "You approached slowly", I replied. "Yes. What else did you notice?" I continued, "I noticed you moved ahead of the horse and kind of cut-off his escape." Then it happened. It was more of a grin than an open smile. "Now go get the horse!" he said. I returned an hour later leading the horse by a piece of rope. I felt alive. I feel most alive when I'm learning.

Jesus said, "A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher." Luke 6:40

Another experience that molded my identity happened later in life when I was about to enter college. Jerry was a young pastor assigned to a six-month internship at my church before his journey to the seminary. He and I became close friends during that time. I was flattered and yet a little suspicious as to why Jerry picked me. But that was Jerry. He saw things about people that I could never see. He saw things about me that I never dreamed of. But I began to learn in the school of the "Paul and Timothy Experience" and eventually realized my call to ministry.

Jerry saw potential in people and I wanted to see others in the same way. Jerry would magnify the smallest character trait into a mountain of potential. So began my experience as a fellow follower of Jesus. We talked and prayed about the things we were doing. He helped me gain confidence as a leader and eventually relinquished responsibilities to me. He actually believed I was as capable as he was.

Before Jerry left he showed me the value of building people up around me. I began building on the apparent goodness in people and searched for another teachable spirit. This type of discipleship/leadership relationship would eventually cost me. The cost: Trade my sense of self-sufficiency for an attitude of service. Hand over my reactive spirit and exchange it for the responsibility of my own emotions. The final tuition? The deal of the century! I traded my competitive desire to be the first across the finish line for the immeasurable joy to be first on my feet to cheer on someone other than me (that bill keeps showing up in my life). But the school of Paul and Timothy teaches this: Real leaders help build better leaders.

"I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these because I am going to the Father." John 14:12

There is yet another story that, as I reflect upon it, has an incredible impact on who I am today. I wanted to learn how to teach. I had taken five classes on how to preach but my wife opened my eyes to the fact that preaching and teaching were not the same. I received a call to be the Bible teacher at a boarding school. So my opportunity had come.

I had no idea what to expect. The course description was filled with language from another world. I knew this experience was going to be different. Dr. Bill Green was my first teacher in the education department. I remember the first day of class-it was at night. Many of the other educators in the class were irritated by my enthusiasm, but I was born again. The life of education found a match in me and I became a teacher in my soul. Bill helped me not only to become a teacher --but a better pastor. I saw the Master Teacher in one who has learned well from the Master Teacher. It has made all the difference in the world to me.

"You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, these entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also." 2 Timothy 2:1-3

Who am I?

Where am I Going?
To the Shipyard…Leadout Ministries

Leadout Ministries is born from a set of core values for learning in the church that also form a framework to accomplish the goals I have as a pastor/teacher. The word "educate" in Latin means to "lead out, to take a ship out of port, to praise sky high, to raise up." It has been used in a nautical sense to denote a ship that leads another ship out to sea. My goal as the youth pastor at Walla Walla College Church is to lead young people to a life changing experience with God and a sense of purpose in the church. Leadout Ministries is the collaboration of people who create meaningful learning in the local church.

Leadout Ministries will seek to provide:
Training Events
Curriculum and Resources
Webpage and Newsletter for Communication
Service and Mission Experience Opportunities

Relationship: because I believe that every human has inherent value and significance I am committed to building relationships based on love. As a pastor/teacher I will seek out people to know, understand and uplift. To build authentic relationships.

Friendship: because I believe that we are never meant to be alone and were created for intimacy and interaction, my aim is to develop a spiritual friendship with the young people I work with.

Worship because I believe our identity, significance, and purpose originate in our relationship to God, I will seek to embrace every opportunity for intimacy and praise to God. To encounter God as our Father in intimate worship.

Discipleship because I believe that Jesus offers the abundant life to all who will learn from Him, He is my Master Teacher. I am committed to a philosophy and a methodology of teaching that engages people to think, experience, and serve. To teach in the school of Christ-like discipleship.

Leadership because I believe God gives gifts to all people for the purpose of building His kingdom, I am committed to creating opportunities for people to follow in the footsteps of Christ as teachers. To equip others in the school of effective leadership.

Ownership because I believe that creativity and innovation are the building blocks to an individuals sense of identity, I will get out of the way and cheer on the work and creativity that leaders feel called to. As leaders see new ways to foster renewal and growth they will develop a sense of ownership in the mission of Christ. To allow leaders to establish purposeful ownership.

Mentorship because I believe that Jesus set the ideal example for change by leading His students to become teachers, I am persuaded to call my students to mentor others in the ways of the Master Teacher. To teach others to become teachers.

Other Ministries and Organizations Mentioned In The Following IDP

Face-Off is a ministry that engages young people in building authentic spiritual relationships with others through small group life and community service. In addition to small groups, face-off includes many other programs and events that seek to celebrate the Christian life such as: 

¥ Training events in authenticity and small group development
¥ Retreats and Evangelistic Efforts
¥ Curriculum

MIA (Mission In Action) is an organization developed by the marketing committee of Walla Walla Valley Academy that seeks to engage students, faculty, and families in community service projects. MIA organizes a number of significant events that better the Walla Walla Community. In addition to community service, MIA works diligently to develop positive community perceptions of Christian education.

The Church of Acts seeks to connect young adults to Christ through improvisation and interactive learning.

Improvisation is a spontaneous, impromptu style of communication that is based on suggestions from anyone in the house. In the context of worship, we will seek to provide spiritual enlightenment by illuminating the humor and holy truths in our world.

The purpose of this religious education is to develop fully committed Christ-followers so that spirituality permits every arena of their lives. Consequently, throughout the week participants will learn of God by doing acts of service, study, and small group involvement.

Targets 2000

Targets 2000 is the intentional movement of the Walla Walla Walla College Church to focus the energy of church life into the three main aspects of the Gospel Commission. The three main aspects are: Empowering People for Ministry, Evangelizing our Community, and Experiencing Life Transformation. My role is to be the leader for evangelism in the Walla Walla College Church.

History and Experience

Associate Dean for Men at Georgia Cumberland Academy 1988-1989
During my year of service as the associate boy's dean, I was responsible for fostering a safe and wholesome environment for the high school boys. I was a member of the administrative committee and spent most of my time with dormitory issues and programming. Essentially, I was the parent away from home. (This was interesting when you look at the fact that I was six months older than most of the senior class.) The experience introduced me to denominational work in an educational institution. The core of my time was spent with the young men; working, sharing, playing, and learning how to make good decisions in life. 

Counselor, Boys Director, assistant camp director at Camp Wawona 1987-1991
My summer camp work is mentioned in this IDP even though it predates my graduate and professional work. It was a significant development in my leadership abilities as well as my personal and organizational skills. My role as the Assistant Camp Director was an administrative function. My job was to make sure the different departments of camp life ran smoothly. The majority of my time was spent in team-building and training staff to be effective influences in the lives of the children that would visit.

Associate Pastor at the First Flint Church in Flint Michigan 1992-1993
Here begins my pastoral experience. My main function was youth ministry, although I had a variety of responsibilities in the development and planning of the church program. Most of my energy was directed at young people and their overall well-being and spiritual growth.

Senior Pastor at the Glenwood Church in Dowagiac 1993-1995
I was assigned the Glenwood Church while doing a Masters degree at Andrews University. I would preach, teach, and lead in the administrative work of the church. My experience at the Glenwood Church was a rich, wonderful time of growing and learning. The people were patient, open, and most helpful. 

Youth Resource Center/Andrews University 1993-1995
I was asked to join the YRC to develop a training seminar to equip lay people to be effective ministers to young people. I developed the materials and held several training events around North America during the two-year period. Overall, this ministry was the seed that eventually grew into my vision for Leadout Ministries. 

Witnessing/Outreach Director and Senior Bible Teacher at Great Lakes Academy 1995-1997
After completing a masters in Religious Education I was invited to become a part of the faculty at Great Lakes Academy. This was truly a life changing experience. I thoroughly enjoyed academy life and the ministries that were developed under my leadership. Working with the students directly was probably my greatest joy. The classroom experience was an exciting journey as well. It was in the classroom that my understanding of the theory and methods of education became such a passion in my life. The formal education (senior Bible) and the less formal, more procedural education (witnessing/outreach) were probably the best fit for me as a career. When my wife and I had a baby boy we knew we had to make a change for the good of our family. This was honestly the hardest professional decision I have ever made. 

1997 to the present time (1999)
Associate Pastor for Youth Ministry and Evangelism (Director of Religious Education)/Contract teacher for Walla Walla College Theology Department/Contract teacher for Walla Walla Valley Academy

I have many teaching and learning responsibilities from elementary school to the college level. I typically teach classes for the college and the academy that covers the Life and Ministry of Jesus. My primary work consists of discipling and training young people to grow up with an abundant relationship with God and a deep sense of purpose in their church. It is in this context that I have entered the Leadership Program and am working toward a Ph.D. in Leadership.

IDP

The writing of the IDP as I understand, is a plan to acquire and demonstrate competency in six major areas of leadership (instruction, organization, change, collaboration, research, and scholarship). The two assumptions that gird the writing of this plan are:

1. In order for this document to be helpful to me in my professional life it needs to be personal.
2. In order for this document to be acceptable as a recommended plan for a Ph.D. it needs to be coherent.

I have organized each major section into four parts that are helpful for me in planning this program. The four parts are:

Each major section will begin with a vision statement then followed by the three-part plan for accomplishing my goals. Only the final competency is divided more specifically due to the diverse nature of the "Competent Scholar" section.

It is also helpful to note that much of my experience in the area of "Leadership" is yet to come. Nevertheless, I will describe my professional background at the beginning and will later show the relationship from my experience to the competencies in my portfolio. I have no doubt that I will be able to demonstrate competency. But to thoroughly describe specific outcomes and evidences before they are complete defies some of the very principles of this program. I expect the life skill of flexibility to be a virtue in this program.

The following is my IDP and I am standing by it.

1. Effective Instructor

a. Using, evaluating, and adapting instructional materials.
b. Carrying out instructional management to accommodate individual variability.
c. Using proven instructional strategies.

Vision Statement

To develop my skills as a teacher by practicing methods that lead to higher order thinking in the local church. My goal is to teach others to teach effectively in a variety of settings to accommodate different learning styles. My practice and experience will lead to resources that seek to create great opportunities for learning. I will cultivate the spirit and the skill of learning in our church so young people will grow as individuals as well as members of a spiritual community. In order to demonstrate competency in the area of teaching and learning, I will become an expert in the knowledge base of educational theory, educational and psychological issues, and familiar with the experts in the field of instruction. The sources for such knowledge grow out of a mix of educational literature and experience in the classroom, and mentors who are considered experts in the discipline.

Integrate

The application of the study and practice of education does not need to be woven into my workplace or my life, it already is the focus of my life. My understanding of the learning experience has moved me to develop ways to integrate education into the life of the church. The creation of Leadout Ministries is the vehicle for the intentional development of religious education in the local church.

Present

I will present a portfolio of materials that demonstrate my competency in the area of Instruction. The portfolio will contain:

Review

I will demonstrate the personal reflection and evaluation of my competency in the form of:

1. Personal daily journal (focus on the 7 ships)
2. Evaluations of teaching/learning experiences (personal, students, experts, observers) 
3. Written reflection papers (or other media forms) on my exercise of this competency.

2. Dynamic Change Agent

a. Planning and implementing change.
b. Developing human resources.
c. Planning and directing public relations activities.

Vision Statement

To start a revolution of religious education in the church that significantly transforms the roles and relationships of young people in the church. Leadout Ministries will equip young people with the training and the resources that enable them to become leaders, and mentors in the life of the local church. In order to demonstrate competency as a change agent I will show an adequate knowledge of the nature and process of change as it relates to the church, community and learning organizations. I will be well informed in the literature and in the models of change that are considered to be the most effective.

Integrate

Since the focus of my work is in the two areas of life that without a doubt need a revolution-the church and the school-I will use the principles that have guided successful change in the area of religious education in the church (Leadout Ministries) and in the development of the Church of Acts (The Improv Church). Youth Ministry and Evangelism are the primary roles for my work-life. The assimilation of change in both will be not only helpful, but also necessary.

Present

The portfolio will contain samples of my work in the areas of educational renewal in the church, church growth/planting, and a revolution of youth workers empowered to transform the church and community. The following will demonstrate competency as a dynamic change agent:

Review

The process of change will not be meaningful without thoughtful reflection and regular evaluation. This will require from me:

1. My daily journal (7 Ships)
2. Evaluations from staff, mentors, students, and parents.
3. Evaluations from community agencies that I serve.
4. Video and written reflections from the participants who are part of the change movements we create.

3. Effective Organizer

a. Organizational development.
b. Allocating resources.
c. Interpreting laws, regulations, and policies.

Vision Statement

To demonstrate competency as an effective organizer by developing meaningful ministry structures that efficiently and ethically accomplishes the goals of the church. The organizational process is the area of my work that I will have to pay careful attention to. I will develop a thorough understanding of the theory and practice of organizational development. Most of that information will come from the literature that exists in the area on organizational development and church growth and leadership. I will also seek to learn from human resources who are considered to be experts in the field.

Integrate

The knowledge and experience of the leaders and writers in the field of organization are valuable. My task will be to apply the principles of successful organization development to the church and the school. Leadout, Improv Church, MIA are to be developed under the principles of sound strategies for effective organizational process. The other opportunities for implementation are Evangelism for the Walla Walla College Church, Marketing Chair for the Walla Walla Valley Academy Board.

Present

I will demonstrate my competency as an effective organizer with the following materials:

Review

The exercise of reflection and evaluation will be evident in:

1. Daily journaling (The black book focused on the 7 ships)
2. Program evaluations from staff, students, and recipients of the services we provide.
3. Samples from the journals of those who participate in the events and ministries that are a part of my leadership.

4. Collaborative Consultant

a. Communicating effectively.
b. Evaluating and assessing programs and procedures.
c. Solving problems and making decisions.

Vision Statement

The very structure of my work environment begs for an efficient collaborative process. My dream is to build a network of people that work for the purpose of youth ministry in the Walla Walla Valley. In order to do this I will demonstrate my skills as an effective communicator in public speaking and teaching scenarios as well as writing, team building, and the development of relevant ministries. I will avail myself to the resources in this area, especially the human resources that are emerging rapidly. 

Integrate

I will apply the principles of the "collaborative consultant" competency to my role as:

For me, the primary focus will be on developing a healthy staff development process in the church as well as the school. Since so much of my time is spent in the public speaking and teaching arena, I will seek to further develop that area of my ministry. However, the need to be more effective in the team- building and decision making process exists in every aspect of my work.

Present

(This documentation will be compiled in one binder with 7 sections. The first section will be an introduction and the five following sections will be the documentation for the five different areas of ministry. The final section will be for reflection. This binder will be a concise representation of how this competency has been achieved in my workplace.)

Review

1. Daily reflection in my journal. (Shipyard Log)
2. Peer/Staff evaluations in the different ministries.

5. Reflective Researcher

a. Reading and evaluating research.
b. Conducting research.
c. Reporting research.

Vision Statement

To show myself to be a competent researcher, I will contribute research in the area of mission service learning. I will demonstrate the ability to use both quantitative and qualitative research methods to obtain and evaluate information relevant to my ministry in the churches and schools. 

Integrate

A thorough understanding of the research process will be applied directly to the study of the impact service ministries have on faith development in Adventist young people. The research will be predominantly qualitative. However, there will be aspects of the study that will lend itself to quantitative research as well. My dissertation will be a focused study within this general topic. My IDP will reflect a number of research projects, but my dissertation will be specifically focused on student missionary service.

Present

My portfolio will contain the research, findings and reports of my study of service opportunities for youth. The samples will include:

Review

I will be submitting the following for the review section:

1. Reflection of the research process. It will be necessary for me to journal and reflect as I interview Student Missionaries. This reflection will be in the form of short entries following the interviews.
2. My daily journal (on the 7 ships) will be helpful in seeing how the research process is really a part of my every day life.
3. Evaluations from my peers and staff who will be working with me on this project.
4. Evaluations from the student missionaries and others involved in the research.
5. Evaluations from researchers who are experts and can add insight and input on the research process. 

6 Competent Scholar

a. Educational foundations.
b. Theories of learning and human development.
c. Theories of leadership and management.
d. Social values such as family dynamics, political issues, and bureaucratic structures.
e. Educational technology and its application.

Vision Statement

To demonstrate an understanding of the human mind, especially as it relates to the development of faith and learning in the local church. In order to see my vision for the educational ministry of the church realized, I must have a sturdy grip on the study of the mind, educational theory, and the life dynamics of people in modern culture. 

6a-Educational Foundations:

Vision Statement

I will demonstrate a competent grasp of the discussion of worldviews and their impact on the educational process. To gain a knowledge base in this competency, I will not only know the literature, but will continue to work with experts to introduce the subject to young people. 

Integrate

Change is extremely difficult for a church as it is for other institutions. Part of the resistance to church education and renewal rests safely in inability to see the larger framework of how we think, know, and believe. Even in youth ministry, there is incredible value in engaging young people to discuss and understand the subject of worldviews. 

Present

I will demonstrate a competent grasp of educational foundations with the following:

Review

Thoughtful reflection and evaluation will be evident in:

1. Evaluations on the worldview curriculum (Staff, students, self)
2. Daily journal.
3. Reflection paper on the outcomes and value of the curriculum we developed for Youth Sabbath School and for Regional Group.

6b-Theories of Learning and Human Development:

Vision Statement

In order to demonstrate competency in understanding learning theory and human development I will read and evaluate the literature that professionals recommend. I will also develop a study group (represented by experts in psychology, education, social work, etc…) to develop materials that equip teachers and parents.

Integrate

Understanding the styles and stages of human development and learning. The curriculum that I develop will seek to apply the appropriate methods to corresponding learning styles and developmental stages. Knowing how and what to teach at the right time is discretion much needed in curriculum for our young people. 

Present

My portfolio will contain:

Review

The weight of the reflection and evaluations will come from my peers as well as other experts who can give an accurate response to the materials I have developed. 

1. Reflections/or evaluations from the recipients of curriculum and instruction.
2. Evaluations from the development team on Spiritual Gifts Curriculum and Inventory.
3. Evaluations from professionals in this field who can comment on the resources and curriculum.

6c-Theories of Leadership and Management:

Vision Statement

I will demonstrate a thorough knowledge of the different leadership models and apply the appropriate theoretical knowledge to the ministry of Walla Walla College Church.

Integrate

Leadership is the pivotal phase in the Leadout Ministries mission. It is clear to me that servant leadership as it is defined by Christ's ministry, is the model I will apply to my work.

Present

I will display in my portfolio the following items to demonstrate competency in the area of Leadership and Management:

Review

The reflection and evaluation for this particular competency will be in the form of:

1. Daily journal (7 Leader ships)
2. Evaluations from the youth who are participating in the Face-Off revolution.
3. Reflections from the leadership retreat by the students involved as well as the parents who are participating.

6d-Social Values:

Vision Statement

The dynamics that shape our families, schools, churches, ultimately the communities that we live in, have always fascinated me. I am curious about sociological trends that contribute to the make-up (and breakdown) of the family structure. It seems clear that in order to develop a ministry that serves as a resource to families, churches and schools-I need to understand how they function. 

Integrate

The local church has a prime opportunity to be an agent of service and education for the renewal and restoration of the local community. I want the Walla Walla College Church (Under Leadout Ministries) to sponsor and create events that strengthen the weakness of our communities. This will happen as we network to provide helpful resources for families and teachers as well as opportunities for discussion on relevant topics. We can use a variety of media sources (Radio, TV, and Community Events).

Present

Review

The reflection and evaluation of the social values competency will be in the form of:

1. Written evaluations of those who receive the services we provide (community, families, service organizations, etc…).
2. Expert evaluations from leaders in the social work department at Walla Walla College, Helpline, and Christian Aid Center.
3. Personal daily reflection.
4. Personal reflection on programs or events (Personal and staff)

6e-Educational Technology:

Vision Statement

Because knowledge and information are more accessible today, the way people communicate is much different. My education in the area of technology will be procedural in nature. I will become competent in the use of educational technology and gain a thorough background of Internet use.

Integrate

I will apply the tools and knowledge of technology to the educational growth and support of the local church. The target for work in the area of technology will be the development of communication and resources for people who work with youth.

Present

I will demonstrate competency in the area of technology with the following:

Review

The process of review will consist of the following:

1. Daily reflection journal (7 ships)
2. Evaluations from experts in media production (Gary Tetz)
3. Evaluations from the Leadout webpage (online)
