“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations . . .” (Matthew 28:19)

Every follower of Jesus is a commissioned disciple-maker. The question is how well prepared are you to engage people in spiritual conversations?

This assessment will give you insights into your strengths and help identify growth areas to focus on.

There are three sections to the assessment: Heart Check, Skill Check, and Readiness Check. At the end of the assessment, you’ll see a snapshot of your results and you will be able to download a PDF with a more detailed breakdown of your spiritual conversations profile, along with helpful suggestions for next steps in your growth as a disciple-maker.
