It’s not that pastors don’t want to be evaluated; they do. But they would like those evaluations to be fair and agreed-on in advance, based on the Word of God, and focused on the actual work a pastor does in shepherding his flock.

Is God beginning to give you a vision for the unity of the Spirit among the churches in your community? What does that look like? With whom might you share it?

This instrument has been developed to assist pastors and church leaders in the task of maintaining an ongoing self-watch. Both the Old Testament (Prov. 4.20-27) and the New (1 Tim. 4.16) call us to careful assessment of our walk with the Lord. The Personal Discipleship Inventory consists of three parts:

1. An outline paradigm for thinking about the life of faith. The Personal Discipleship Inventory envisions the life of faith as consisting of three facets: spiritual vision, spiritual disciplines, and spiritual practices.

2.  A series of assessment scales to help you determine where you stand at any time in relation to the paradigm of the life of faith.

3.  Tabulation and guidelines to help you in setting goals and improving in your walk with the Lord.

Completing the Personal Disciplship Inventory at least annually can be an effective means of maintaining a healthy self-watch and a more conscientious approach to the life of faith.
