Considering the Six S’s of Self-Assessment

How can I live out a balanced life of discipleship? Note:  The rhythms we create in each season are done in the context of our roles, relationships, and resources and are effected by the Six S’s of Self-Assessment: Stages of Life and Faith, Seasons of Faith, Spiritual Temperament, Spiritual Gifts/Strengths, Special Call, and Besetting Sins.

Here are some questions to consider as you are building your Rule of Life?

What stage of life do I inhabit in this season?  What opportunities and limitations does this stage of life present to me?

What is most compelling to me in this stage of faith?  Learning more about God?  Learning to pray more deeply?  Serving others?  Going Deeper in Community?  Etc. etc.?

What season of the spiritual life do I reside in at this time?  Given this season, what spiritual practices might best nurture my soul at this time?

How has God uniquely wired me?  What is my spiritual temperament? What are my spiritual gifts? How has God called me?

What are my spiritual strengths?  Where do I most struggle with sin?

Given these realities, what spiritual practices might best nurture my soul at this time?
