Starting Point Survey
It’s time to figure out your starting point! Answering these questions will help you and your bible study partner personalize this journey. No two souls are alike, so let’s figure out what your soul is like!
None of this will be new information to God and he’s head over heels in love with you so be as honest as possible as you examine yourself. The first part of the survey will be submitted to your local church so someone awesome can follow up with you and encourage you on your journey. The second part should be written down in your Field Guide so you can share it with your bible study partner.
Next, answer these questions in your Field Guide for self reflection and so your bible study partner can help personalize these personal bible studies when you meet up.
