Possible Diagnosis Results

Your assessment identifies your primary area of concern and provides a specific diagnosis. Here are the possible results you may receive:

Revealed Dedication (AP Category)

All Areas Optimal
Part I: 40-50/50Part II: 40-50/50Part III: 40-50/50Part IV: 20-25/25

Your motivation is based on Revelation, not return. You are serving from a spiritual bank account, not a deficit. You are resilient, emotionally prepared, and possess the necessary armor. Your next step is leadership and mentorship.

Recommended Action:

Maintain this integrity. Your focus is on Legacy. Use your endurance and strength to mentor others and teach the Logical Servant how to find unconditional loyalty. Chapter Z: Leaving a Legacy.

Sermon-Dependent Identity

Part I Primary Issue
Triggered when Part I score is your lowest area

Your conviction is anchored to external factors (sermons, spiritual 'highs') and lacks Personal Spiritual Power. Passivity stems from the belief you are here only to receive, not to give. You operate with Borrowed Authority.

Recommended Action:

Your priority is to build your personal altar. Implement a 'Discovery vs. Reception' rule: dedicate more time to discovering truth (personal study) than passively receiving it. Chapter 6: Your Lifeline: Just Read Your Bible.

Transactional Logic / Logical Servant

Part II Primary Issue
Triggered when Part II score is your lowest area

Your service is purely based on what you get out of it (status, networking, comfort). You are stuck in the Logical Servant model, treating the church relationship as a contract that requires a clear ROI. This mindset prevents you from ACTIVATE PURPOSE.

Recommended Action:

You must immediately halt the mentality that the church owes you something. You must stop serving to earn favor and start serving from the favor you already have. Reread Chapter 12: The Revelation Life.

Unseen Wounds

Part III Primary Issue
Triggered when Part III score is your lowest area

Passivity is fueled by Unseen Wounds (shame, financial debt, unresolved conflict). Service is avoided because you believe it will expose your deepest issues.

Recommended Action:

You are in a crisis. Your healing requires you to apply the Theological Safety Valve and accept that your pain is not punishment for failure. Confess your internal conflict to a trusted peer immediately. Chapter 4: The Unseen Wounds.

The Lone Wolf / Lack of Functional Armor

Part IV Primary Issue
Triggered when Part IV score is your lowest area

You are relying entirely on yourself, which is paralyzing. You are operating in Lone-Wolf Ministry without the functional, confidential support system necessary for long-term survival. Your isolation is feeding your fear of initiative.

Recommended Action:

Stop all activity that feeds your isolation. Your task is to Build Your Inner Circle immediately. Identify one potential candidate and initiate a casual meeting with the sole purpose of asking for their honest, non-judgmental prayer. Chapter 7: The Inner Circle.

What Happens After Your Diagnosis?

Understanding your diagnosis is just the beginning. The book A Volunteer's Perspective provides a complete roadmap for moving from wherever you are now to unconditional, joyful service.
