Discover Module: Spiritual Gifts Journal
14 prompts for the Rise Crew Purpose Course Discover phase.
Time: 20–30 minutes per prompt (or one prompt per day for two weeks) Posture: Curiosity, not performance. You're mapping calling, not earning it.
Section A: Your Story
Prompt 1: The Moment
Describe a time you felt most alive doing something that served others. What were you doing? Who was there? What gift were you expressing?
Prompt 2: The Pattern
Look at your last 12 months. What types of problems do people repeatedly ask you to help with?
Prompt 3: The Childhood Clue
What did you love doing between ages 7–14? (Before you learned to perform for approval.)
Prompt 4: The Pain
What suffering have you endured that you would not wish on anyone — but would use to help others if you could?
Often calling is forged in the furnace.
Section B: Spiritual Gifts Discovery
Prompt 5: Supernatural Moments
