Question #1:When you think about what God has already placed in your hands, which statement best describes where you are right now? *

I recognize gifts, experiences, or resources I could use, but I’m not sure what to do with them.

I have a clear understanding of what I have, and I’m actively using it.

I’m still trying to figure out what I have that could actually be useful.

I can name a few things, but I tend to dismiss them because they seem ordinary or insignificant.

QUESTION #2. Which statement best describes how you view the things that come naturally to you? *

I often assume that if it comes easily to me, it probably isn’t that valuable.

I know some of my natural abilities have value, but I still question whether they are significant enough to matter.

I can identify the value in what comes naturally to me, although I don’t always know how to use it intentionally.

I recognize that what comes naturally to me can be valuable, and I intentionally look for ways to use it.

QUESTION #3.When you look at your life experiences, knowledge, skills, and relationships, how clearly can you see what they have equipped you to do? *

I have difficulty seeing how any of it connects to what I could do now.

I can see a few connections, but I’m still unsure what is actually significant.

I can see clear patterns in what I’ve learned, experienced, and become equipped to do.

I clearly recognize how my experiences, knowledge, skills, and relationships have prepared me for what I’m called to do next.

QUESTION #4. When you recognize something you are naturally gifted or equipped to do, what usually happens next? *

I tend to dismiss it or assume it isn’t significant enough to pursue.

I acknowledge it, but I still question whether I’m really supposed to do anything with it.

I accept that it has value, but I sometimes hesitate to fully own it.

I accept it as something I’ve been entrusted with and take responsibility for using it.

QUESTION #5. How do you respond when other people consistently recognize a gift, strength, or ability in you? *

I usually downplay it or explain why it isn’t a big deal.

I appreciate what they see, but I have difficulty seeing myself that way.

I can receive what they see in me, although I sometimes still question it.

I can receive that affirmation without minimizing what I know I’ve been given.

QUESTION #6. Which statement best describes your willingness to own what you believe God has entrusted to you? *

I’m still waiting for enough confirmation to believe it really belongs in my hands.

I believe something is there, but fear, comparison, or self-doubt often makes me pull back.

I’ve accepted what I’ve been given, but I still hesitate sometimes when it requires me to be visible or take action.

QUESTION #7. When you think about what you should be focusing on in this season, how clear are you? *

I have several ideas or possibilities, but I honestly don’t know which direction to pursue.

I have a general sense of direction, but I keep questioning whether I’m focusing on the right thing.

I know what deserves my attention, but I sometimes get distracted by other opportunities or ideas.

I’m clear about what deserves my attention in this season and can distinguish it from what does not.

QUESTION #8 How clearly can you explain what you are called or equipped to help others do? *

I struggle to explain it clearly, even to myself.

I know there is something I can offer, but my explanation tends to change depending on who I’m talking to.

I can explain the value I bring, although I’m still refining the language around it.

I can clearly communicate who I can help, what I can help them with, and the value I bring.

QUESTION #9 When an opportunity, idea, or invitation comes your way, how do you determine whether it belongs in this season? *

I usually respond based on what sounds good, feels urgent, or is available at the moment.

I try to determine whether it fits, but I often second-guess my decision.

I have a fairly clear sense of what aligns, although certain opportunities can still distract me.

I have clear criteria for determining what aligns with my current assignment and what I need to decline.

QUESTION #10 How closely do your current actions reflect what you say matters most in this season? *

My time and attention are mostly going toward things that don’t reflect what I say is important.

I know what matters, but competing responsibilities and distractions often take priority.

Most of my actions support what matters, although I still have areas that regularly pull me off course.

My priorities, decisions, and actions consistently reflect what I know I should be focused on.

QUESTION #11 When you realize something no longer aligns with where you are headed, how do you typically respond? *

QUESTION #12 How well does your current environment support what you believe you are supposed to be building, developing, or pursuing? *

Some parts support me, but I haven’t made the changes necessary to create consistent alignment.

I’ve intentionally adjusted much of my environment and commitments, but a few areas still need attention.

My routines, commitments, boundaries, and environment intentionally support what I’m responsible for in this season.

QUESTION #13 How consistently are you developing what you already have instead of waiting for something more? *

I spend more time thinking about what I need or don’t have than developing what is already available to me.

I know I should be developing what I have, but I’m inconsistent about doing it.

I regularly invest time and effort into developing what I have, although my consistency could improve.

QUESTION #14 When you know what needs to be done, how consistently do you follow through? *
