What stands out first in your results is people. Your spiritual friendships and your involvement in spiritual community are the strongest areas in your whole profile, and a deep, steady gratitude runs alongside them. Those are not small things — they are the conditions under which almost everything else in spiritual life grows. At the same time, your results suggest that closeness with people often comes with a current of worry underneath it, and that your own rhythms of prayer and spiritual practice have thinned out in this season. Those two are likely related more than they appear. The pages below start with the six areas most worth your attention, and you can open any other scale that interests you as you read.
Your five domain scores compared with the benchmark group.

| Connecting to Self & Others | 60 | 60 | 48th | Growing Steadily |
| Connecting to Spiritual Community | 62 | 57 | 63rd | Growing Steadily |
| Connecting to Spiritual Practices | 58 | 62 | 38th | Growing Steadily |

The areas where you are strongest, and the three most worth your attention right now. The first card is open as an example — click the arrow on any other card to read its feedback and soul project.
THRIVING // You are thriving when it comes to Gratitude, indicating that thankfulness toward God and a positive orientation toward life are consistent features of how you move through the world. You tend to notice and name the good in your circumstances even when difficulty is present, and this grateful attentiveness shapes the quality of your relationships with God and others in meaningful ways. Your score suggests that gratitude is not merely an occasional feeling for you but something close to a cultivated habit of heart — one associated with a strong sense of God's blessing, deeper spiritual commitment, and greater wellbeing. It is worth noticing what gratitude actually is: the practice of receiving rather than earning. That matters for you in particular, because other parts of your profile suggest you carry a quiet worry about whether you are doing enough in your relationships. Gratitude is the one place where you already know, in your bones, how to simply receive. Continue fostering this orientation, and look for ways to cultivate gratitude in the people around you, especially those who struggle to perceive the good in their lives.
Thank God for the gift of a genuinely grateful heart, and ask him to show you how this orientation can deepen your relationship with him further and become a source of encouragement for others.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
This week, express your gratitude specifically and intentionally to three people in your life — telling them concretely what you appreciate about them and how they have been a gift to you. Notice what happens inside you as you do it. If any anxiety comes up about how they will respond, let that be information rather than a reason to stop; you are practicing giving something freely without needing anything back.
THRIVING // You are thriving in Spiritual Friendship, indicating that deep, mutually nourishing spiritual relationships are a genuine and central feature of your life. You likely have one or more people — a mentor, a spiritual director, or a close friend — with whom you engage in honest spiritual conversation, mutual encouragement, prayer, and accountability. These relationships are among the most significant gifts in the Christian life, and their presence in your life tends to support flourishing across many spiritual dimensions. There is something worth naming here: your results also suggest that closeness with people often carries an undercurrent of worry for you — and you have built these friendships anyway. That is not a contradiction; it is evidence that your capacity for connection is real and already working, even when it does not feel settled from the inside. These friendships are the safest ground you have for the growth work further down this report.
Thank God for the richness of your spiritual friendships, and ask him to help you receive these relationships as genuinely secure — not as something you have to keep earning.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, because I hear about your love for all his holy people and your faith in the Lord Jesus. I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ."Philemon 4-6 NIV
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
This week, with the one spiritual friend you trust most, name one thing you usually keep to yourself — a doubt, a worry about the friendship itself, or something you are struggling with spiritually. One conversation, one thing. You are not testing the relationship; you are letting it do what it is already strong enough to hold.
THRIVING // You are thriving in Spiritual Community Involvement, indicating that your spiritual community is a genuinely central and life-giving part of your spiritual life. You likely have meaningful relationships with both peers and mentors who encourage, challenge, and support your growth, and you are actively engaged in the life of your community in ways that contribute to others' flourishing as well as your own. This level of community investment is a significant spiritual strength — research consistently shows that people with rich, supportive spiritual community relationships flourish more broadly across many dimensions of their lives. It is also, practically speaking, your best available scaffolding: your personal spiritual practices are the thinnest part of your profile right now, and shared rhythms tend to carry people through seasons when solitary ones have gone quiet. What you cannot yet sustain alone, you may well be able to sustain alongside others.
Thank God for the richness of your involvement in your spiritual community, and ask him to show you how what you already have with others might carry the parts of your spiritual life that feel thin right now.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"So in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us."Romans 12:5-6a NIV
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Pick one spiritual practice that has gone quiet for you and attach it to something communal you are already doing — arriving ten minutes early to sit in silence before your group meets, reading the same passage as a friend during the week, praying with one person after gathering. Use the community you already have rather than building something new from nothing.
STRUGGLING // You are struggling with Evangelism and World Missions, indicating that actively sharing your faith with others and engaging in support of the global mission of the church are largely absent from your current spiritual life. This may stem from a number of factors — a lack of confidence rooted in being newer to faith, a season of distance from God that makes it hard to speak of his love with conviction, past negative experiences with evangelism, or simply never having developed a clear sense of how sharing faith fits naturally into who you are. Given what the rest of your results show, one more possibility is worth considering gently: sharing faith asks you to risk another person's reaction, and relational risk is where your worry tends to concentrate. If that is part of the picture, the answer is not to push harder. A solid foundation in your own relationship with God is the most important precondition for genuine, life-giving evangelism — as that relationship deepens and becomes more secure, sharing it with others tends to become more natural and less coerced. In the meantime, simply praying regularly for people in your life who do not yet know God is a meaningful first step.
Ask God to reveal where your heart is with respect to sharing your faith — including any fear or reluctance — and to help you hear this as an invitation rather than as one more thing you are failing at.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."Acts 1:8 NIV
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Choose one person you care about who does not yet know God. Each day this week, pray for them by name — specifically, not as a formula. That is the whole assignment. Do not set yourself a target for bringing anything up with them; if a natural opening comes, you will know. At the end of the week, notice whether anything about how you see that person has shifted.
STRUGGLING // Spiritual practices — such as worship, reading Scripture, fellowship, and prayer — are not a consistent or particularly motivated part of your life right now. This is a growth area that deserves honest attention. There may be times when you genuinely want to engage in these practices but struggle to follow through; there may be other times when the desire itself feels absent. Both are worth bringing honestly to God. Spiritual practices are not primarily about checking obligations off a list — they are more like training that gradually shapes your character and opens you to God's transforming presence. Two things in your results are worth holding together here. Your gratitude is genuinely strong, which means the capacity for attentiveness to God is already in you; and your spiritual community is the most alive part of your profile, which means you are unlikely to have to rebuild these rhythms alone. Small, imperfect, consistent steps are meaningful, and they will go better with company.
Ask God to help you bring your current experience of spiritual practices honestly before him — including any guilt about it — and to receive whatever comes next as invitation rather than obligation.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD of Heaven's Armies. I long, yes, I faint with longing to enter the courts of the LORD. With my whole being, body and soul, I will shout joyfully to the living God."Psalm 84:1-2 NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Choose one practice, and make it small enough that failing at it is genuinely difficult. Before you begin each day, spend two or three minutes in silence, simply presenting yourself to God: "God, I am here. I may not feel much. Help me open myself to whatever you have for me." Do not add a second practice this week. The goal is not to feel a certain way, and it is not to build a streak — it is simply to show up.
STRUGGLING // Your score indicates a significant level of Anxious Connection to Others. Note that this is a negatively scored scale, meaning a higher score reflects greater relational anxiety. You may frequently experience unresolved painful emotions in your close relationships — chronic worry about whether important people will truly be there for you, a strong and recurring need for reassurance, or a gut-level fear of rejection that is difficult to quiet. When painful feelings are triggered, you may find yourself pursuing others intensely for comfort — and when that comfort feels unsatisfying or unavailable, withdrawing in hurt and anger. This cycle is often rooted in a relational history in which important people were inconsistently available or responsive, and it tends to affect your relationship with God in similar ways; your results suggest something of the same worry shows up in how you experience him. What is genuinely hopeful here is that your spiritual friendships and your community involvement are the strongest areas in your entire profile. You are not lacking safe relationships in which this pattern can slowly change — you already have them. Processing these patterns honestly, ideally with a trusted mentor, counselor, or therapist, is one of the most important steps toward greater peace.
Ask God to meet you in the worry itself — not once you have resolved it. Tell him plainly what you are afraid of in your closest relationships.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"Then Jesus said, 'Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.'"Matthew 11:28-30 NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
When relational anxiety rises this week, name it before you act on it: write down or say aloud, "I am feeling worried that ___. I am going to bring this to God before I respond." Then five minutes of prayer, bringing the feeling to God rather than immediately seeking reassurance. You are not trying to make the worry go away. Once this week, consider telling one trusted friend or mentor what you are noticing.
All 33 scales. Open any scale to read its feedback and soul project.
GROWING STEADILY // You are growing steadily in Secure Connection to God, indicating that you have developed some meaningful capacity to explore your relationship with him — though this may feel inconsistent or unstable at times. You may go through periods of feeling genuinely close to God, followed by seasons of uncertainty, distance, or difficulty articulating what God is doing in your life. This is a normal part of spiritual growth, and your score suggests that you are making real progress even when it doesn't always feel that way. Continuing to reflect honestly on your experience of God in prayer and spiritual community, and to share that experience with trusted others, will help your sense of connection with God become more consistent and secure over time.
Ask God to deepen your sense of security in your relationship with him, and to show you where he has been faithful in ways you may not have fully recognized.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow — not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below — indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord."Romans 8:38-39 NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
This week, keep a brief daily log of moments when you noticed God's faithfulness — even in small ways. At the end of the week, read through the list and write one paragraph about how your view of God's reliability has been shaped or deepened. Share what you wrote with one person who knows you well.
STRUGGLING // Your score indicates a significant level of Anxious Connection to God. Note that this is a negatively scored scale, meaning a higher score reflects a greater struggle with anxiety in your relationship with God. You may frequently experience God as unreliable, emotionally unavailable, or likely to let you down — and this can produce a chronic undercurrent of worry, hurt, or anger in your spiritual life. When painful feelings about God surface, you may feel overwhelmed by them and have difficulty talking about your spiritual life in a settled, coherent way. This anxious relational pattern often alternates between urgently pursuing God (through intense prayer or acts of service) and withdrawing from him when the pain becomes too great. Processing these unresolved feelings with a trusted spiritual mentor, friend, or therapist — rather than trying to manage them alone — is one of the most important steps you can take toward greater peace in your relationship with God.
Ask God to reveal where your heart is with respect to your anxiety in your relationship with him — the worry, hurt, or sense that he may not be reliable or available when you need him most.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"Then Jesus said, 'Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.'"Matthew 11:28-30 NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Each day this week, bring your anxiety directly to God in prayer — not to resolve it, but simply to name it honestly. Use a brief, simple prayer: "God, I am worried that ___. Help me trust you." After each prayer, sit quietly for two minutes and allow yourself to receive his presence. At the end of the week, consider sharing what you are discovering with a trusted spiritual mentor, friend, or counselor.
GROWING STEADILY // Your score suggests a moderate level of Distant Connection to God. Note that this is a negatively scored scale, meaning a higher score reflects a greater tendency to emotionally distance from God. You do maintain some sense of emotional connection to God, but you may find it easier to relate to him through information and activity than through felt experience — and in stressful seasons, you may notice yourself pulling back emotionally from God and others more than you would like. This is not a pervasive pattern for you, but it is worth paying attention to. Practices like reflective prayer, journaling about your emotional experience of God, and honest conversations with a spiritual friend or mentor can help you grow toward a warmer and more consistently felt connection with God over time.
Ask God to help you grow in your capacity to stay emotionally present with him — especially in difficult or painful seasons — and to show you where deeper connection is available to you.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God. I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him?"Psalm 42:1-2 NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Choose one spiritual practice this week that invites emotional engagement with God — such as praying the Psalms aloud, journaling your honest feelings to God, or practicing lectio divina with a passage that stirs something in you. Do it each day for 10 minutes and notice what arises. Consider sharing what you are discovering with a trusted friend or spiritual mentor.
GROWING STEADILY // You are growing steadily in your Awareness of God, indicating that you do experience a sense of God's presence and guidance in your life — though this may be inconsistent or more pronounced in some seasons than others. There are likely moments when you feel God attending to you in a personal way, and other times when his presence feels less accessible. This ebb and flow is a normal part of the spiritual life, and your score suggests that you have developed a meaningful foundation of awareness that can continue to deepen. Intentional practices such as Scripture meditation, reflective prayer, and prayerful attention to the events of your day can help you grow in consistently noticing God's presence and direction in your life.
Ask God to deepen and make more consistent your awareness of his presence and communication in your daily life.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"'For I know the plans I have for you,' says the LORD. 'They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.'"Jeremiah 29:11-13 NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Each day this week, spend 10 minutes in a focused awareness practice: sit in silence, quiet your mind, and simply attend to God's presence. If it helps, gently repeat a short prayer — such as "Lord Jesus, be present with me" — as an anchor for your attention. When your mind wanders, simply return. At the end of the week, notice what has shifted in your sense of God's nearness.
GROWING STEADILY // You are growing steadily in Intimacy with God, indicating that you do experience a sense of closeness to him — though it may not be strong or consistent. There are likely seasons or moments when you feel genuinely close to God and spiritually alive, and other times when that sense of nearness is harder to access. This pattern is common in healthy spiritual development, and your score suggests you are on a meaningful growth trajectory. Paying attention to the conditions and practices that most deepen your sense of closeness to God — and investing more intentionally in those — will help you move toward a more consistent and rich experience of intimacy with him over time.
Ask God to deepen and stabilize your sense of intimacy with him, and to show you where the most significant growth in your relationship with him is available right now.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon your power and glory. Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise you!"Psalm 63:1-3 NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
This week, write out a brief "spiritual story" — the key chapters of how God has worked in your life from the beginning of your faith journey until now. Give each chapter a title. Keep it concise. At the end of the week, read it back and notice what themes of God's faithfulness emerge. Share it with one person who knows you well.
GROWING STEADILY // You are growing steadily in Experiencing God in Prayer, indicating that you do feel some genuine connection to God when you pray, though this experience may not be consistent. There are likely times when prayer feels alive and meaningful, and other times when it feels routine or disconnected. This is a common experience in spiritual growth, and your score suggests you have developed a real foundation in this area. Continuing to seek connection with God through varied and intentional forms of prayer — and exploring what forms of prayer most consistently open you to his presence — will help you develop a richer and more dependable experience of meeting God in prayer over time.
Ask God to help you grow in your ability to experience his presence and hear his voice when you pray, and to show you the forms of prayer that most open you to genuine encounter with him.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."Philippians 4:6-7 NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Each day this week, spend 10 minutes in focused prayer using the form that most helps you feel connected to God right now. After each session, write one sentence or phrase that captures what the experience was like — even if it was simply "I showed up." At the end of the week, notice whether any patterns or shifts have emerged in your experience of God in prayer.
GROWING STEADILY // You are growing steadily in Experiencing God in Spiritual Practices, indicating that you do feel some connection to God through practices such as worship, Scripture reading, and fellowship — though this experience may not be consistent or strong. There are likely seasons when engaging in spiritual practices feels genuinely nourishing, and others when it feels more mechanical or routine. This is normal, and your score suggests meaningful growth in this area. Reflecting on which specific spiritual practices most consistently help you sense God's presence — and investing more intentionally in those — will help you develop a deeper and more reliable experience of encountering God through the means of grace he has given us.
Ask God to deepen your experience of his presence in spiritual practices and to show you which practices most consistently open you to genuine encounter with him at this stage of your journey.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"I have tried my best to find you — don't let me wander from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. Blessed are you, O LORD; teach me your principles. I have rejoiced in following your decrees as much as in riches."Psalm 119:10-12, 14 NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Before engaging in spiritual practices this week, begin each session with a 5-minute practice of presenting yourself to God: sit quietly, release the busyness or distraction of the day, and invite God to accomplish his purposes in your time with him. After each session, write one sentence about what you experienced. At the end of the week, review what you wrote and identify any shifts.
THRIVING // You are thriving when it comes to Gratitude, indicating that thankfulness toward God and a positive orientation toward life are consistent features of how you move through the world. You tend to notice and name the good in your circumstances even when difficulty is present, and this grateful attentiveness shapes the quality of your relationships with God and others in meaningful ways. Your score suggests that gratitude is not merely an occasional feeling for you but something close to a cultivated habit of heart — one associated with a strong sense of God's blessing, deeper spiritual commitment, and greater wellbeing.

Gratitude is the one place where you already know, in your bones, how to simply receive. Continue fostering this orientation, and look for ways to cultivate gratitude in the people around you, especially those who struggle to perceive the good in their lives.
Thank God for the gift of a genuinely grateful heart, and ask him to show you how this orientation can deepen your relationship with him further and become a source of encouragement for others.

"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
This week, express your gratitude specifically and intentionally to three people in your life — telling them concretely what you appreciate about them and how they have been a gift to you. Notice what happens inside you as you do it. If any anxiety comes up about how they will respond, let that be information rather than a reason to stop; you are practicing giving something freely without needing anything back.
GROWING STEADILY // You are growing steadily in Secure Connection to Others, indicating that you have developed a meaningful capacity to explore your thoughts and feelings in relationships — though this may feel inconsistent or somewhat fragile in certain contexts or seasons. You likely feel comfortable and connected with some people while finding closeness more difficult with others, or you may notice that stress and conflict tend to destabilize your sense of security in relationships more than you would like. This is a very normal part of relational growth, and your score suggests real progress. Continuing to invest in honest, safe relationships and paying attention to the patterns that most affect your security with others will help you continue to develop toward greater relational health.
Ask God to show you where there is the most room to grow in the security and openness of your closest relationships, and to give you the courage to take the next steps.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer."Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Think of one relationship in your life where you would like to experience greater depth and security. This week, do one thing to invest in that relationship — a meaningful conversation, a shared experience, or an honest expression of what the person means to you. Notice how it feels to take that step, and write down what you observed.
STRUGGLING // Your score indicates a significant level of Anxious Connection to Others. Note that this is a negatively scored scale, meaning a higher score reflects greater relational anxiety. You may frequently experience unresolved painful emotions in your close relationships — chronic worry about whether important people will truly be there for you, a strong and recurring need for reassurance, or a gut-level fear of rejection that is difficult to quiet. When painful feelings are triggered, you may find yourself pursuing others intensely for comfort — and when that comfort feels unsatisfying or unavailable, withdrawing in hurt and anger.

"Then Jesus said, 'Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.'"Matthew 11:28-30 NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
When relational anxiety rises this week, name it before you act on it: write down or say aloud, "I am feeling worried that ___. I am going to bring this to God before I respond." Then five minutes of prayer, bringing the feeling to God rather than immediately seeking reassurance. You are not trying to make the worry go away. Once this week, consider telling one trusted friend or mentor what you are noticing.
GROWING STEADILY // Your score suggests a moderate level of Distant Connection to Others. Note that this is a negatively scored scale, meaning a higher score reflects more emotional distance in relationships. You do maintain some meaningful emotional connection with others, but you may find that during stressful or painful seasons you tend to pull back and close down relationally more than you would like. This is not a pervasive pattern for you, but it is worth paying attention to — particularly in your most important relationships. Practices like honest journaling, reflective conversation with a trusted friend or mentor, and paying attention to your emotional responses in relationships can help you grow toward a warmer, more consistently connected way of relating.
Ask God to help you grow in your capacity to stay emotionally present and connected with others — especially in the situations and relationships where pulling back is most tempting.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him."Philippians 2:12-13 NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Identify one area of your life in which you have been keeping others at an emotional arm's length — perhaps a struggle, a fear, or an area of uncertainty you have not shared with anyone. This week, share it with one person you trust. The goal is not to solve it, but simply to let someone in. Write down what the experience was like afterward.
GROWING STEADILY // You are growing steadily in Owning Your Faith, indicating that your spiritual life is increasingly becoming a genuinely personal and internally motivated pursuit — though there are still areas where consistency or deep personal conviction lags behind. You likely have a meaningful sense of what you believe and a real desire to grow spiritually, but may find yourself going through seasons of inconsistency in spiritual practices or moments of uncertainty about your commitments. This is a normal and healthy part of maturing faith. Continuing to examine the motivations and convictions beneath your spiritual practices — and being honest about where you are doing things out of habit versus genuine desire — will help you continue to develop greater depth and ownership in your relationship with God.
Ask God to deepen your sense of personal ownership over your faith — to help you move from an inherited or externally motivated faith toward one that is genuinely, fully your own.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him."Philippians 2:12b-13 NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
This week, identify one spiritual practice or commitment that you currently engage in primarily out of obligation, and one that feels genuinely life-giving and personally meaningful. Write down what the difference feels like, and what you think accounts for it. Then share your reflection with one person who knows you well and can help you think about how to cultivate more of the latter.
GROWING STEADILY // You are growing steadily in Forgiveness, indicating that you generally experience a meaningful sense of God's forgiveness and have some capacity to extend forgiveness to others — though this may be inconsistent, especially when the hurt has been significant or the offense feels fresh. There may be specific people or situations where forgiveness feels genuinely hard — where rumination, avoidance, or a desire for justice reasserts itself periodically. This is honest and human, and your score suggests you are making real progress in this area. Continuing to return to your own experience of being forgiven by God, and processing the pain of specific offenses with a trusted person, will help forgiveness become a more settled and habituated dimension of your character.
Ask God to deepen your experience of his forgiveness — and to help forgiveness become a more consistent, habituated response in your relationships with others.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"Then Peter came to him and asked, 'Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?' 'No, not seven times,' Jesus replied, 'but seventy times seven!'"Matthew 18:21-22 NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Identify one situation or person where forgiveness still feels incomplete — where rumination, avoidance, or resentment occasionally resurfaces. This week, spend 10 minutes each day praying specifically for that person — not for them to change, but that God would bless them and that your own heart would soften. Notice what shifts, if anything, by the end of the week.
GROWING STEADILY // You are growing steadily in Agape Love, indicating that Christ-like love and compassion for others are real and developing features of your character — though not yet fully ingrained or consistently expressed. You likely show genuine care and love for others in many situations, while finding it harder in contexts that are outside your comfort zone, emotionally draining, or that require significant sacrifice. Your score suggests that the seeds of a life of love are evident and growing. Reflecting honestly on your motivations in serving others — and bringing those honestly before God — will help you continue growing toward love that is less conditional and more freely given.
Ask God to help you grow in your capacity to love others with a genuinely Christ-like love — one that is less conditional and more freely given — and to show you where the most growth is available to you right now.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance."1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
This week, look for one situation that takes you outside your comfort zone — a person who is difficult to love, a need that is inconvenient to meet, or an act of service that will cost you something. Choose to respond with intentional love. Afterward, reflect on what motivated you in the moment and what you noticed about your inner experience. Share what you observed with one trusted person.
GROWING STEADILY // You are growing steadily in Spiritual Self-Awareness, indicating that you have some capacity to notice your own inner states, limitations, and need for renewal — though this awareness may be inconsistent or may come after the fact more often than you would like. You may find yourself surprised at times by how depleted or spiritually dry you have become without noticing it sooner. Your score suggests real growth in this area. Paying attention to the circumstances, rhythms, and warning signs that most reliably indicate when you need spiritual replenishment will help you become more proactive and consistent in attending to your own soul.
Ask God to deepen your attentiveness to your own spiritual and emotional condition — and to help you become more consistently proactive in responding to your need for renewal before it becomes crisis.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me — watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace."Matthew 11:28-29 MSG
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Write out a realistic "spiritual renewal plan" — a list of activities you will do on a regular basis (daily, weekly, monthly, and/or seasonally) that most reliably help you take in the nourishment your soul needs. Be specific about what, when, and how often. Share your plan with one person this week and ask them to check in with you in one month.
THRIVING // You are thriving in Secure Connection to Community, indicating that you generally feel genuinely at home, trusted, and at ease within your spiritual community. You tend to be comfortable sharing your thoughts, experiences, and inner life with others in your community, and you are able to stay connected and engaged even when community life becomes difficult or disappointing. This secure foundation is a significant spiritual strength — it makes the kind of honest, vulnerable, mutually encouraging relationships possible in which real spiritual formation happens. It also positions you to be a stabilizing and welcoming presence for others in your community who are less securely connected.
Thank God for the secure sense of belonging you experience in your spiritual community, and ask him to show you how this gift can be a source of welcome and healing for people in your community who are still on the margins.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory. Remember that Christ came as a servant to the Jews to show that God is true to the promises he made to their ancestors."Romans 15:7-8a NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Identify one person in your spiritual community who seems to be on the margins — someone who may feel like they don't quite fit, who tends to be overlooked, or who has recently gone through something hard. This week, make a deliberate, unhurried investment in that person — a genuine conversation, an expression of interest in their life, or a simple act of welcome. Your secure belonging is one of the most powerful things you can offer someone who is still searching for it.
GROWING STEADILY // Your score suggests a moderate level of Anxious Connection to Community. Note that this is a negatively scored scale, meaning a higher score reflects more community-related anxiety. You may periodically experience feelings of worry, hurt, or uncertainty in relation to your spiritual community — wondering at times whether you truly belong, whether others genuinely care, or whether your community will come through when you need them. This is not a constant or overwhelming experience for you, but it may periodically make it harder to engage with full openness and trust. Paying attention to the specific situations and dynamics in your community that most stir up this anxiety — and talking about these patterns with a trusted person — will help you grow toward greater settled confidence in your belonging.
Ask God to help you identify the specific situations and relational dynamics in your community that most stir up anxiety or fear of rejection, and to lead you toward greater peace and security in your community relationships.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another."Hebrews 10:23-25 NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Each day this week, talk to God about any specific anxiety or hurt you are carrying in relation to your spiritual community. Be specific — name the situation, the fear, the person. Then meditate on this week's Scripture passage for 10 minutes. At the end of the week, notice whether anything has shifted in how you are experiencing your community, and share your observations with one person you trust.
THRIVING // Your score indicates that you are thriving in this area — that emotional distance is not a significant pattern in your relationship with your spiritual community. Note that this is a negatively scored scale, meaning a lower score reflects greater emotional availability and presence in community. You tend to be emotionally attuned and genuinely present in your community relationships — able to share what you are truly feeling, to engage with others' inner lives, and to be moved by what is happening in your community. This quality of emotional presence is a meaningful strength that deepens your community relationships and makes you a more effective, empathetic presence for others.
Thank God for the emotional attunement and genuine presence you bring to your spiritual community, and ask him to show you how this gift can help draw others into a richer, more connected experience of community life.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."Colossians 3:12-13 NIV
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Identify one person in your spiritual community who tends to remain emotionally on the surface — who shows up but rarely opens up. This week, make a deliberate effort to be a warm, unhurried, genuinely curious presence for them — asking questions about their inner life and listening carefully. Don't try to draw them out; simply offer the experience of being with someone who is fully present. That kind of attentive presence is itself a powerful invitation.
THRIVING // You are thriving in Spiritual Community Involvement, indicating that your spiritual community is a genuinely central and life-giving part of your spiritual life. You likely have meaningful relationships with both peers and mentors who encourage, challenge, and support your growth, and you are actively engaged in the life of your community in ways that contribute to others' flourishing as well as your own. This level of community investment is a significant spiritual strength — research consistently shows that people with rich, supportive spiritual community relationships flourish more broadly across many dimensions of their lives. It is also, practically speaking, your best available scaffolding: your personal spiritual practices are the thinnest part of your profile right now, and shared rhythms tend to carry people through seasons when solitary ones have gone quiet. What you cannot yet sustain alone, you may well be able to sustain alongside others.
Thank God for the richness of your involvement in your spiritual community, and ask him to show you how what you already have with others might carry the parts of your spiritual life that feel thin right now.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"So in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us."Romans 12:5-6a NIV
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Pick one spiritual practice that has gone quiet for you and attach it to something communal you are already doing — arriving ten minutes early to sit in silence before your group meets, reading the same passage as a friend during the week, praying with one person after gathering. Use the community you already have rather than building something new from nothing.
THRIVING // You are thriving in Spiritual Friendship, indicating that deep, mutually nourishing spiritual relationships are a genuine and central feature of your life. You likely have one or more people — a mentor, a spiritual director, or a close friend — with whom you engage in honest spiritual conversation, mutual encouragement, prayer, and accountability. These relationships are among the most significant gifts in the Christian life, and their presence in your life tends to support flourishing across many spiritual dimensions. There is something worth naming here: your results also suggest that closeness with people often carries an undercurrent of worry for you — and you have built these friendships anyway. That is not a contradiction; it is evidence that your capacity for connection is real and already working, even when it does not feel settled from the inside. These friendships are the safest ground you have for the growth work further down this report.
Thank God for the richness of your spiritual friendships, and ask him to help you receive these relationships as genuinely secure — not as something you have to keep earning.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, because I hear about your love for all his holy people and your faith in the Lord Jesus. I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ."Philemon 4-6 NIV
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
This week, with the one spiritual friend you trust most, name one thing you usually keep to yourself — a doubt, a worry about the friendship itself, or something you are struggling with spiritually. One conversation, one thing. You are not testing the relationship; you are letting it do what it is already strong enough to hold.
GROWING STEADILY // You are growing steadily in Christ-Centeredness, indicating that you are investing in the foundational rhythms of the Christian life — time with God, spiritual community, service, and priority-setting — though some of these may be inconsistent or less developed than others. This is a healthy and honest place to be. Reflecting on which specific practices are most solidly established and which are most fragile will help you identify where to focus your attention. Deepening two or three core habits tends to be more fruitful than trying to build everything at once.
Ask God to help you identify the specific rhythms and habits that most need attention in your spiritual life, and to give you the clarity and motivation to invest in them more consistently.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." (1 Corinthians 10:31 NLT) "And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father."Colossians 3:17 NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Identify the one spiritual practice or rhythm that is currently most inconsistent in your life but would most benefit from greater regularity. This week, make one specific, realistic commitment to that practice — deciding in advance when you will do it and what it will look like. At the end of the week, evaluate what helped or hindered you, and share what you discovered with one person who knows you well.
STRUGGLING // You are struggling with Prayer Frequency, indicating that prayer is not a consistent or particularly motivated part of your life right now. This may reflect spiritual dryness, a season of doubt or disillusionment, busyness, or simply habits that have not yet formed. It is also worth considering whether something relational is at work — difficulty praying is often connected to difficulty experiencing God as genuinely present, safe, and responsive. Whatever the reason, the honest place to begin is with God himself: acknowledging where you are, including any resistance, confusion, or lack of desire, and asking him to open your heart to him in whatever degree you are able.
Ask God to meet you honestly where you are with prayer — including any resistance, dryness, or lack of desire — and to open your heart to him in whatever degree you are able.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon your power and glory. Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise you! I will praise you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer."Psalm 63:1-4 NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Each day this week, set aside 10 minutes for prayer — not to perform, but simply to be present with God. If you have little to say, start with honest acknowledgment: "God, I am here. I don't know what to say, but I want to be with you." After each session, write one sentence about what the experience was like, even if it was simply showing up. At the end of the week, read back through what you wrote.
STRUGGLING // Spiritual practices — such as worship, reading Scripture, fellowship, and prayer — are not a consistent or particularly motivated part of your life right now. This is a growth area that deserves honest attention. There may be times when you genuinely want to engage in these practices but struggle to follow through; there may be other times when the desire itself feels absent. Both are worth bringing honestly to God. Spiritual practices are not primarily about checking obligations off a list — they are more like training that gradually shapes your character and opens you to God's transforming presence. Two things in your results are worth holding together here. Your gratitude is genuinely strong, which means the capacity for attentiveness to God is already in you; and your spiritual community is the most alive part of your profile, which means you are unlikely to have to rebuild these rhythms alone. Small, imperfect, consistent steps are meaningful, and they will go better with company.
Ask God to help you bring your current experience of spiritual practices honestly before him — including any guilt about it — and to receive whatever comes next as invitation rather than obligation.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD of Heaven's Armies. I long, yes, I faint with longing to enter the courts of the LORD. With my whole being, body and soul, I will shout joyfully to the living God."Psalm 84:1-2 NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Choose one practice, and make it small enough that failing at it is genuinely difficult. Before you begin each day, spend two or three minutes in silence, simply presenting yourself to God: "God, I am here. I may not feel much. Help me open myself to whatever you have for me." Do not add a second practice this week. The goal is not to feel a certain way, and it is not to build a streak — it is simply to show up.
STRUGGLING // You are struggling with the Use of Media, indicating that you have not yet developed a consistent or thoughtful approach to how your use of technology and social media affects your spiritual life. Most people in the current cultural moment face this challenge — the default settings of digital technology are not designed for soul care. Spending some focused time reflecting on the specific ways your media consumption shapes your attention, your emotional life, and your capacity for God may be a genuinely important investment. Talking with trusted friends or mentors about what has been helpful for them — and then developing a few clear, practical guidelines of your own — is a good starting point.
Ask God to help you see clearly how your current use of media and technology is affecting your inner life, your attention, and your relationship with him — and to give you the desire and wisdom to make intentional changes.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise."Philippians 4:8 NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Choose one specific change in your media habits to implement this week — something realistic and concrete. It might be setting a daily time limit, removing one app, or establishing a media-free hour before bed. Practice your chosen change every day this week. At the end of the week, notice what effect it had on your attention, your emotional life, and your capacity for prayer and quiet.
GROWING STEADILY // You are growing steadily in Transformational Suffering, indicating that you have some capacity to experience God working through your trials — though this is not yet a consistent pattern. There may be seasons or specific kinds of difficulty in which you are more open to God and more able to grow through suffering, and others in which you tend to close down, withdraw, or hold on to bitterness. Reflecting on how you have responded to recent trials — and what tended to determine whether you moved toward or away from God in those seasons — will help you understand the patterns and continue growing in this area.
Ask God to deepen your capacity to stay open and engaged with him through suffering — and to show you the patterns and triggers that most pull you toward withdrawal or bitterness in hard seasons.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast."1 Peter 5:10 NIV
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Think of a current or recent difficulty in your life. This week, spend 10 minutes each day in prayer specifically about this trial — not asking God to remove it, but asking him to show you what he may be doing in and through it. Also seek out one trusted spiritual mentor or friend and share how God has been at work in you through a past difficulty. Notice what that reflection produces in you.
GROWING STEADILY // You are growing steadily in Spiritual Openness, indicating that you have some capacity to engage with different perspectives on faith and to acknowledge doubts — though this may not yet be a consistently comfortable or practiced posture. You may not actively deny your doubts, but you may also not yet fully process them or bring them openly before God and others. Growing in openness involves not just intellectual honesty about what you don't know, but also attending to gut-level beliefs about God and yourself that may be generating quiet, unexamined doubts. Regularly bringing both kinds of questions honestly to God and to trusted mentors or friends will deepen your capacity for this kind of open, growing faith.
Ask God to help you grow in your willingness to bring your doubts and questions openly before him — and to develop greater security in holding uncertainty as part of a living, growing faith.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely."1 Corinthians 13:12 NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Identify one question or area of uncertainty in your faith that you have been aware of but not actively exploring. This week, bring it into the open: write it down honestly, then either journal about it with God or discuss it with one trusted person who can engage it thoughtfully. Notice what it feels like to hold the question openly rather than suppressing it.
GROWING STEADILY // You are growing steadily in Positive Spiritual Coping, indicating that you have some capacity to turn toward God in difficulty — drawing closer through prayer, seeking meaning in trials, and working collaboratively with God on problems — though this is not yet a fully consistent pattern. There may be specific kinds of difficulty or emotional intensity that make it harder to sustain a spiritually engaged response. Reflecting on how you typically respond to life challenges — and what tends to move you toward or away from God in those moments — will help you identify the most important growth edges and continue developing a more consistently spiritually grounded approach to difficulty.
Ask God to help you develop a more consistent pattern of turning toward him when difficulty comes — and to show you the specific triggers and circumstances that most tend to pull you away from spiritually engaged coping.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"I look up to the mountains — does my help come from there? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth! He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber."Psalm 121:1-3 NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Identify a current or ongoing difficulty in your life. This week, practice a daily discipline of bringing it to God in prayer — not just once, but each time anxiety or discouragement about it arises, pause and say: "God, I bring this to you. I trust you are at work." Keep a brief daily log of when you practiced this and what you noticed. At the end of the week, share your observations with one trusted person.
GROWING STEADILY // Your score suggests a moderate level of Negative Spiritual Coping. Note that this is a negatively scored scale, meaning a higher score reflects more negative approaches to spiritual coping. When hard things happen, there may be times when you drift toward unhelpful spiritual responses — perhaps a sense of divine abandonment, spiritual despair, or a tendency to either disengage from God entirely or demand that he fix things without your involvement. This is not a dominant or constant pattern for you, but it is worth paying attention to. Reflecting on how you typically respond to difficulty — and what kinds of suffering most tend to trigger these less helpful responses — will help you continue growing toward more constructive spiritual coping.
Ask God to help you identify the specific situations and triggers that most tend to draw out negative spiritual coping patterns in you — and to lead you toward more constructive ways of engaging with him through difficulty.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again — my Savior and my God! Now I am deeply discouraged, but I will remember you."Psalm 42:5-6a NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
When a negative spiritual coping response arises this week, practice a two-step response: (1) name it honestly — write it down or say it aloud — and (2) bring it directly to God in prayer, using honest language about what you are feeling. Meditate on this week's Scripture passage for 10 minutes each day. At the end of the week, notice whether naming these responses and bringing them to God rather than acting on them has made any difference.
GROWING STEADILY // You are growing steadily in Spiritual Perspective, indicating that you have a real and developing capacity to view life through a spiritual lens — though this is not yet a fully consistent or instinctive way of processing your experiences. There are likely seasons or circumstances in which you more naturally attend to how God is at work, and others in which your initial response to events is more reactive, self-focused, or circumstance-driven. This is honest and normal, and your score reflects genuine progress. The habit of intentionally reflecting on your daily responses — noticing what they reveal about your gut-level values and beliefs — and regularly inviting God's perspective through prayer and Scripture will help this way of seeing gradually become more deeply internalized.
Ask God to help you develop a more consistent and instinctive habit of seeing your life through his purposes — and to show you where your natural interpretive lens is still more shaped by comfort and circumstance than by faith.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"'For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,' declares the LORD. 'As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.'"Isaiah 55:8-9 NIV
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Each day this week, after your most significant event or interaction, pause for 5 minutes and ask: What might God be doing here — in me, through me, or around me? Write one sentence in response. At the end of the week, review your entries and notice where the spiritual lens came most naturally, and where it required the most effort. Share what you discovered with one trusted person.
GROWING STEADILY // You are growing steadily in Spiritual Meaning, indicating that you have a real, if sometimes inconsistent, sense of meaning and purpose rooted in your relationship with God. There may be seasons or circumstances in which your sense of God's specific purposes for your life feels clearer and more energizing, and others in which it feels vague, uncertain, or harder to access. Your score reflects genuine growth in this area. Continuing to invest in your relationship with God, staying connected to your spiritual community, and reflecting intentionally on where you sense God at work in and through your life will help your sense of meaning and purpose become more stable and sustaining over time.
Ask God to deepen and stabilize your sense of meaning and purpose — and to help you see more clearly how his specific purposes for you are taking shape in this season of your life.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.'"Jeremiah 29:11-13 NIV
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Write out a brief response to two questions: (1) Looking back, what patterns of impact, gifting, or deep engagement do you see recurring throughout your life? (2) In the next season of your life, where do you most sense God calling you to invest? Bring both responses to God in prayer each day this week, and share them with one trusted mentor or friend who can reflect back what they observe in you.
GROWING STEADILY // You are growing steadily in Service to the Local Church, indicating that you are involved in serving within your local faith community in meaningful ways — though this may not yet be as consistent, intentional, or deeply integrated into your life as it could be. You are making real contributions, and your score reflects genuine engagement. Reflecting on how your specific gifts, passions, and sense of calling align with the ways you are currently serving — and identifying whether there is a form of service that would draw out greater commitment and joy — will help you grow toward a more fully expressed and sustainable life of service within the body of Christ.
Ask God to help you grow in the depth and intentionality of your service within your local church — and to show you how your specific gifts and calling align with the needs of your community.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ's body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well."Romans 12:4-6a NLT
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Reflect on a specific gift, skill, or passion you have that is not yet being expressed in meaningful service within your local church. This week, take one concrete step toward changing that — whether it is a conversation with a leader, signing up for something you have been considering, or simply showing up more consistently in a role you already hold. At the end of the week, evaluate whether this form of service feels more connected to genuine calling, and share your reflection with one trusted person.
STRUGGLING // You are struggling with Service Outside the Local Church, indicating that intentional engagement in serving your broader community — through volunteering, meeting tangible needs, or participating in social justice efforts beyond your local congregation — is largely absent from your life right now. As with service within the church, this often reflects a foundation that is still being built — since outward-focused service tends to be most sustainable and genuine when it flows from a secure, vital relationship with God and a clear sense of his compassion for the world. If you are in a season of building or rebuilding that foundation, that is the right place to focus. As it becomes more stable, you will likely find a more natural capacity and desire to extend your service into the broader world.
Ask God to open your heart to his compassion for the broader world — the people and communities beyond your local church — and to begin showing you what participation in his redemptive work outside the church might look like for you.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."Micah 6:8 NIV
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
This week, take one small, tangible step of service beyond the walls of your local church. It does not need to be dramatic — it could be volunteering one time at a local organization, having a genuine conversation with someone in need in your neighborhood, or simply learning about a specific community need you have been unaware of. Take that one step, and write one sentence about what you noticed in yourself.
STRUGGLING // You are struggling with Evangelism and World Missions, indicating that actively sharing your faith with others and engaging in support of the global mission of the church are largely absent from your current spiritual life. This may stem from a number of factors — a lack of confidence rooted in being newer to faith, a season of distance from God that makes it hard to speak of his love with conviction, past negative experiences with evangelism, or simply never having developed a clear sense of how sharing faith fits naturally into who you are. Given what the rest of your results show, one more possibility is worth considering gently: sharing faith asks you to risk another person's reaction, and relational risk is where your worry tends to concentrate. If that is part of the picture, the answer is not to push harder. A solid foundation in your own relationship with God is the most important precondition for genuine, life-giving evangelism — as that relationship deepens and becomes more secure, sharing it with others tends to become more natural and less coerced. In the meantime, simply praying regularly for people in your life who do not yet know God is a meaningful first step.
Ask God to reveal where your heart is with respect to sharing your faith — including any fear or reluctance — and to help you hear this as an invitation rather than as one more thing you are failing at.
Spend 30 minutes with the following Scripture passage.
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."Acts 1:8 NIV
Write a paragraph or two on what you discovered, experienced, or became aware of in steps 2 and 3 above.
Choose one person you care about who does not yet know God. Each day this week, pray for them by name — specifically, not as a formula. That is the whole assignment. Do not set yourself a target for bringing anything up with them; if a natural opening comes, you will know. At the end of the week, notice whether anything about how you see that person has shifted.
