Spiritual Gifts

Have you ever wondered "Who am I?" or "What am I good at?" or "What is God's will for my life?" These are all tough questions to answer. Anyone who asks them and continues to search for answers, for the truth, is brave and to be commended.

It's important to remember that service goes beyond just what you're good at or what you're comfortable with. All skills can be improved, and we need to become more comfortable with the uncomfortable. Paul was ready to be all things to all people; so should we (1 Corinthians 9:19-23).

Sometimes the best way to discover your spiritual gifts is to learn more about yourself, to be honest with yourself about your strengths and weaknesses, and even to ask others what you're good at. If you'd like to get a jumpstart, online tests can be extremely helpful. Below I have two tests that I found to be credible. The first is a free test based on the same scientific research that the Myers-Briggs test uses. The second is also free that a church created, and it is pretty thorough in my opinion! I hope each of these are helpful for you.

Here are the tests I used:

• Personality Test: https://www.truity.com/test/type-finder-personality-test-new

• S.H.A.P.E. Test: https://www.freeshapetest.com/

Please feel free to send me any questions or concerns you have. I'd be happy to help, talk, or be a "listening ear" so to speak.
