WELCOME To YOUR DISCIPLESHIP JOURNEY

DISCIPLE Candidate Assessment

A Formation Mirror for Salty Men of God

This is not a test. It is a mirror.

The Man I Love Coming to Church Story

What is this?

This assessment is designed to help you see where you currently are in your walk with Jesus — not to score your salvation, award a maturity badge, or decide your worthiness.

It is an honest look at the man you are right now — so that the man God is forming in you has a clear next step.

You will be asked to rate 80 statements across 8 areas of discipleship using a simple 1–10 scale.

This takes most men between 15–25 minutes.

READY TO GIVE US A TRY?

How to Score

Select your answer based upon this scale and click the value that is most accurate today, right now, in this moment.

Do not score the man you wish you were.

Do not score the man others assume you are.

Score the man you are right now, in this moment.

A low score is not failure.

It is an invitation.

A high score is not a trophy.

It is a stewardship.

What Happens After?

After you submit, you will receive a personalized results email with:
Your score in each area
What your scores mean
Scripture and next steps tailored to where you are

Your Spiritual Journey now has an Ebineezer Stone moment captured in time. As your disipleship journey continues with Salty Men of God, we will revisit this survey and you wil be able to track your discipleship growth.

Salty Men of God has all kinds of additional resources to help you drive deeper into your faith. Lets get started!
