Get the Results

Spirituality is not something that can be easily quantified or qualified. Recognize that this is a quick, brief look at spiritual development and wellness. View these areas of spirituality to be aspects you can pursue in order to lead you to a well-rounded, life-giving faith, as well as an engaging relationship with God and a spiritual community. One never reaches completion in faith development, nor attains absolute spiritual wellness. Instead, it is a pursuit to be enjoyed along the ever wondrous, progressive journey.

More important than receiving a number for your score is that you glean from the elements of this self-assessment. Twelve of the most important areas of spiritual development are highlighted. Choose where you’d like to focus on your own spiritual development. Was there a certain area in which you felt encouraged and sensed you are doing well? Was there a certain area in which you scored lower than you’d hoped and in which you’d like to improve? What spiritual goals might you set in order to grow in that area? How would you like to challenge yourself? Of these 12 areas, which are you most curious about and want to explore next? Answers to these questions may be the best thing you take away from completing this self-assessment.

Please note: This brief assessment does not take into account the important matter of sound doctrine. Having a biblically-founded belief system is positively influential for spiritual health.
