Spiritual Gifts.

God created you uniquely and placed gifting in you to advance His kingdom. Take the assessment, find your top three, and put them to work.

Why this matters

Discovering your spiritual gifts.

At Journey we believe that to truly fulfill your purpose, it is important to understand the gifting God has placed in you. God created everyone uniquely and placed different spiritual gifting in us all to advance His kingdom.

This assessment is a starting point, not a ceiling. It surfaces where your gifting is showing up right now, but gifts grow as you use them, and the clearest confirmation almost always comes from serving alongside people who can see what you can’t see in yourself.

How it works

Answer honestly

72 short statements. Rate each one almost never, sometimes, or almost always. Go with your gut. The first instinct is usually the truest.

We score it

Every statement maps to one of 24 gifts. We add them up for you. No grids, no math, no pencil.

Get your top three

See your three highest gifts, what each one means, and where it shows up in Scripture. We’ll email you a copy.

Put them to work

Gifts are given for the body, not the shelf. Take your results and find a place to serve.
