This is a great opportunity to check on how you are doing spiritually.
This is also a great tool when meeting with someone in a discipleship relationship.

Typically, I have seen four main ways people grow spiritually.
1.Suffering / Hard Times (Becoming stronger as a result of struggles)
2.Submission and Obedience (Allowing God to lead and guide)
3.Serving (Helping others)
4.Discipleship (Having someone come alongside and help us)
