Purpose Pivot Self-Assessment
Welcome to your 30-day journey of faith-based personal growth. This self-assessment is a sacred tool designed to help you reflect on where you stand as you begin the Purpose Pivot journey — and again when you complete it. This isn't merely a questionnaire; it's a mirror for your soul, a compassionate space where you can honestly examine your spiritual, emotional, and practical readiness to step into the life God has prepared for you.
As you respond to each statement, remember that there are no "right" or "wrong" answers. This assessment invites you to pause, breathe deeply, and listen to the quiet voice within. Your responses remain confidential, serving only as a personal benchmark to illuminate how far you've travelled on this sacred path.
Use the 1 to 5 scale thoughtfully: 1 represents "Strongly Disagree," 2 is "Disagree," 3 indicates "Neutral," 4 means "Agree," and 5 signifies "Strongly Agree."
This journey requires courage — the courage to be honest with yourself, to acknowledge both your struggles and your strengths, and to trust that God sees the beautiful purpose woven into your story. As you complete this assessment, know that wherever you are right now is exactly where your transformation begins.
Section 1 — Prepare
Emotional & Spiritual Grounding
The foundation of any meaningful transformation begins with emotional and spiritual grounding. Before we can move forward with purpose, we must first create space for stillness, acknowledge our inner landscape, and anchor ourselves in the unchanging truth that God's plan for our lives remains steadfast, even when our circumstances feel uncertain.
This section explores your current relationship with reflection, gratitude, and spiritual resilience. It asks you to consider how well you're managing the tension between acknowledging pain and maintaining hope, between feeling your emotions fully and not being consumed by them. These aren't simple balancing acts — they're daily practices that require both gentleness and commitment.
  • Question 1 I make time for quiet reflection and stillness each day.
  • Question 2 I feel emotionally grounded even when life feels uncertain.
  • Question 3 I believe God still has a plan and purpose for my life.
  • Question 4 I can acknowledge my pain without feeling consumed by it.
  • Question 5 I regularly express gratitude, even for small things.
As you rate yourself on these statements, remember that preparing your heart is not about perfection. It's about cultivating awareness and creating a sacred space within yourself where God's voice can be heard above the noise of fear, doubt, and distraction. This groundwork becomes the fertile soil from which your purpose will grow.
Section 2 — Identify
Clarity of Values & Purpose
Identifying your true purpose begins with understanding your core values — those non-negotiable truths that shape how you move through the world. When you're clear about what matters most, decision-making becomes simpler, relationships become healthier, and your daily choices naturally align with your deeper calling.
This section invites you to assess how well you understand your God-given gifts, your sense of calling, and the degree to which your current life reflects your authentic self. Clarity doesn't always arrive in dramatic revelations; more often, it emerges through patient, prayerful reflection and the courage to listen to what the Holy Spirit is already whispering to your heart
  1. Personal Values I have a clear understanding of my personal values.
  1. Gifts & Calling I can describe my God-given gifts or calling with confidence.
  1. Deep Fulfilment I know what brings me deep fulfilment beyond success or approval.
  1. Daily Alignment I feel aligned with how I spend my time each day.
  1. Inner Guidance I trust my inner voice and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
These five questions form a powerful diagnostic tool. They help you determine whether you're living from the inside out — guided by conviction and calling — or from the outside in, shaped primarily by expectations, obligations, or the opinions of others. True purpose emerges when your values, gifts, and daily actions converge in a life that honours both God's design and your unique contribution to His kingdom.
Section 3 — Visualise
Faith, Vision & Hope
Vision is the language of faith. Before anything meaningful is created in the physical world, it must first be conceived in the imagination and held with hope in the heart. To visualise your future is not wishful thinking — it's an act of spiritual collaboration with God, who invites us to dream with Him about the unwritten chapters of our lives.
This section measures your capacity to see beyond your current circumstances and embrace the possibility that your story is far from over. It explores whether you're cultivating hope through spiritual practices, whether you believe that better days lie ahead, and whether you can imagine a life marked by purpose, peace, and divine alignment. Hope is not passive; it's an active choice to partner with God's promises, even when the path forward isn't yet clear.
  1. Future Vision I can picture the kind of life I want to create in the next year.
  1. Faith in Tomorrow I have faith that better days are ahead of me.
  1. Spiritual Practices I regularly use affirmations, scripture, or prayer to build hope.
  1. Unwritten Chapters I believe that my story still has unwritten chapters of purpose.
  1. New Possibilities I can see possibility where I once saw limitation.
These questions challenge you to examine whether you're nurturing a vision for your life or merely enduring it. Vision-casting requires both courage and faith — courage to imagine something different, and faith to believe that God can bring that vision to life in ways that exceed your expectations. As you rate yourself here, ask: Am I living in expectation, or have I settled for resignation?
Section 4 — Overcome
Resilience & Release
Overcoming is not about denying your pain or pretending that wounds don't exist. It's about choosing to release what no longer serves you — guilt, shame, unforgiveness, fear — so that you can step fully into the freedom God offers. Resilience is built not by avoiding hardship but by walking through it with faith, trusting that God can transform every setback into a stepping stone towards purpose.
This section assesses your ability to forgive, to respond to challenges with faith rather than fear, and to view obstacles as opportunities for growth. It asks whether you've begun the sacred work of releasing the burdens that have weighed you down — the regrets, the resentments, the stories you've told yourself about who you are and what you deserve. Overcoming is an ongoing journey, not a one-time event, and it requires both the courage to face your past and the faith to believe that your future can be different.
  1. Forgiveness I'm able to forgive myself and others for past hurts.
  1. Faith Over Fear I respond to challenges with faith instead of fear.
  1. Release I've released guilt, shame, or regret that once held me back.
  1. Growth Mindset I see setbacks as opportunities for growth.
  1. Redemption I trust that God can turn pain into purpose.
The journey of overcoming is deeply personal, yet universally necessary. No-one moves forward into purpose whilst dragging the weight of yesterday's failures and fears. As you reflect on these statements, consider what you might need to release to make room for the new thing God wants to do in your life. Resilience isn't about being unbreakable; it's about being willing to be remade.
Section 5 — Take Action
Living With Intention
Purpose without action remains a beautiful dream. This final assessment section measures your readiness to translate vision, values, and spiritual insight into tangible, daily practices. Taking action means showing up consistently, making intentional choices, protecting your peace, and surrounding yourself with people who call forth the best in you. It means living not by accident or default, but by design — with God as your architect and faith as your blueprint.
These questions explore whether you're actively moving towards your goals, whether you've established healthy boundaries, and whether you feel equipped to live with intention each day. Action doesn't require massive leaps; it requires faithful, incremental steps taken in alignment with God's guidance. Every small choice matters. Every boundary honoured matters. Every moment of intentionality becomes a brick in the foundation of the life you're building.
  1. Consistent Steps I take small, consistent steps towards my goals every week.
  1. Supportive Community I surround myself with people who uplift and encourage me.
  1. Energised Purpose I feel energised and passionate about my next chapter.
  1. Healthy Boundaries I've created boundaries that protect my peace and purpose.
  1. Equipped & Ready I feel equipped to live with intention, purpose, and faith each day.
Living intentionally is a daily recommitment to your purpose. It's waking up and asking, "What does alignment look like today?" It's choosing presence over distraction, faith over fear, and purpose over people-pleasing. The life you've been praying for is built one intentional decision at a time, and this section helps you assess whether you're ready to build.
Section 6 — Reflection
Optional Short-Answer Items
Numbers and scales can reveal patterns, but sometimes the deepest truths emerge through words. This final reflection section offers you space to articulate what this journey means to you in your own voice. These open-ended questions invite you to go deeper, to name your hopes, and to clarify your intentions as you embark on this 30-day transformation.
Take your time with these questions. There's no rush. Let your answers flow honestly, without editing or performing. This is between you and God, between your current self and your emerging self. What you write here will serve as a powerful touchstone throughout your journey — a reminder of why you started, what you're seeking, and who you're becoming.
  • What does "pivoting" mean to you right now? Consider what this word evokes in your heart. Is it about changing direction? Releasing the past? Embracing something new? Write freely about what pivot represents in this season of your life.
  • Where do you most want to experience transformation in the next 30 days? Identify the specific area — emotional healing, spiritual clarity, relational boundaries, career direction — where you most long to see breakthrough. Name it clearly so you can recognise transformation when it comes.
  • What one word describes how you hope to feel at the end of this course? One word. Just one. It might be "free," "aligned," "hopeful," "purpose-filled," "peaceful," or something uniquely yours. This word becomes your north star for the next 30 days.
These reflections aren't merely exercises — they're prophetic declarations of what God is about to do in your life. Hold them close. Return to them often. Let them remind you that transformation is not only possible; it's already begun.
Scoring Instructions
Understanding Your Stage of Growth
After completing all 25 statements in Sections 1 through 5, add your ratings together to calculate your total score. This number isn't a judgement; it's a starting point. It tells you where you are so you can see — with clarity and gratitude — how far you've travelled by the end of this 30-day journey.
Below, you'll find the scoring guide that illuminates what your current score reveals about your stage of growth.
Flatlined
25-50
Feeling drained and in need of renewal. This is your invitation to rest, reflect, and begin again.
Rebuilding
51-75
Awakening hope and direction. You're in the sacred process of reconstruction, finding your footing again.
Emerging
76-100
Moving forward with clarity and faith. The fog is lifting, and you're stepping into purpose with increasing confidence.
Thriving
101-125
Living with purpose, peace, and alignment. You're walking in the fullness of who God created you to be.
Wherever you score today, know this: God meets you exactly where you are. If you're flatlined, He's renewing your strength. If you're rebuilding, He's your firm foundation. If you're emerging, He's lighting your path. And if you're thriving, He's inviting you to help others rise.
This assessment is not a measure of your worth — it's a tool to help you see the beautiful transformation that God is orchestrating in your life. At the end of your 30-day journey, you'll complete this same assessment again. Comparing your before and after scores will reveal the remarkable work that God has done in your heart, mind, and life.
This isn't just about numbers increasing — it's about witnessing your own resurrection, your own pivot from merely surviving to truly thriving. You are not where you were, and you will not stay where you are. Forward is the only direction from here, and God is already preparing the way.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." — Jeremiah 29:11
