The Pathways Assessment

How deep are you, really? Twenty statements. Four areas of your walk. An honest answer to each.

This is not a grade, and it is not a ranking. The pathways are depths of the same water, not ranks — and you may be deeper in one area of your walk than another. Answer as your life actually is, not as you wish it were. Every statement must be answered; the assessment scores itself when you finish.

Last step: where should we send your results?

Your results appear on this page and are saved so you can take the assessment again later and compare. His Purpose Ministries will also send you the next steps for your depth.

Your depth, area by area

Three questions before you go

Your honest reaction helps us make this assessment better for the next person.

Do you agree with your result?

Yes Partly No

Did anything surprise you?

Yes No

What should have been asked that was not? What would have made the result truer to your life?

Begin where the water is shallowest. Your most contested area is where your next prayer begins. Take the assessment again in a season and watch where the water rises.

A more comprehensive assessment — with a Personal Pathway Report and progress tracking over time — is available to members of His Purpose Ministries.

The Pathways Assessment is a tool for honest self-examination, built from Scripture and from the teaching of Out of the Shallows. It is not a scientific measure and has not yet undergone statistical validation; your answers help that work.
