Explain what it means to be a follower of Jesus and how you became one?

Describe your current relationship with Jesus (i.e. growth, struggles, hopes, fears).

No one is perfect in their pursuit of following Jesus. At the same time, there can be many helpful indicators that shed light on the current state of our growth in grace and relationship with Jesus on a daily basis. With that in mind, please provide answers to the following questions.

How often do you currently read your Bible and what does this practice look like for you?

What is the current frequency or rhythm of your prayer life? When you pray, how would you describe the experience?

If you were to rate your overall knowledge of the Bible (on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being no knowledge and 10 being highly knowledgeable), what score would you give? Explain why you provided this answer.

On a similar but different note, how would you rate your ability to apply the Bible to daily life (on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being unable and 10 being very capable)? Explain why you provided this answer.

Describe the personal relationships you have with other believers that encourage you in your faith.

From a character standpoint, we desire for all of our Staff/Elders to live in a manner worthy of the Gospel. This includes being consistent in both their public and private devotion to Jesus. With this in mind, are there currently any inconsistencies in your life as it pertains to following Jesus and walking in the ways of this world that we should be aware of? *
