Companion to the free Spiritual Gifts Test
The Spiritual Gifts Guide
Understand your top gifts, see how they work together, and put them to work in 30 days
You have your top three gifts. Now what? This guide helps you understand them, see how they work together, and spend thirty days putting them to work.
Each gift chapter goes well beyond the free result: the gift’s shadow side, the misunderstandings to avoid, and how it can look at home, at work, at church and in your community. For example, the Encouragement chapter clears up the common idea that encouragers are always upbeat: many people with this gift are quiet, and their strength is attention and timing, not volume.

Inside
- A chapter for each of the 14 gifts in the test: what Scripture says; what the gift is and is not; signs you may have it, beyond what a questionnaire can ask; how it can look at home, at church, at work and in your community; its shadow side and common misunderstandings; how to grow it, one practice to try this week, questions for reflection and room for your notes.
- The six gifts the test does not measure: prophecy, healing, miracles, tongues, interpretation and apostles. For each you get what the Bible says and how different churches understand it today, explained fairly and without taking sides.
- Your gift blend, explained. Each of the 91 gift pairs has its own entry, under both of its blend titles (such as The Generous Welcomer): the two gifts together, a real-life picture, one thing to try, where the pair might serve, one thing to watch for and a question to ask yourself. A finder takes you to your pair.
- A 30-day plan, with one short step and one Bible verse each day, and four weekly steps written for each gift. It prints well in black and white and also comes as a separate workbook.
- A guide for small groups and church teams: four one-hour sessions with leader notes, “What I see in you” cards, a group gift map and a result worksheet you may copy.
- A worksheet for your result, and a plain explanation of how the test works and what it cannot tell you.
Who it is for
- Anyone who has taken the test and wants to understand and use their gifts.
- Small-group and ministry leaders running a gifts study.
Haven’t taken the test yet? It’s free and takes about 10 minutes: take the Spiritual Gifts Test.
What it is not: a scientific assessment, a new test or a guide written for one denomination. It does not give you new scores, so take the free test first and use the guide with your result. It treats the test as a starting point, points you to serving, prayer and the people who know you, and does not replace your pastor or your church’s teaching.
Every Bible quotation is from the World English Bible, word for word.
