3D Life Strategies: Body · Mind · Spirit

Discover and reflect to help uncover your KSA (Knowledge, Skills, Abilities) and Spiritual Gifts.

Use these questions in coaching, journaling, or small groups to discern how God has uniquely wired you to serve others in the marketplace and beyond. This is part of the 3D process: Discover, Decide, Develop.

Stewardship and Physical Presence

Explore how your physical energy, habits, and presence can become a living expression of worship and service.

  • Physical Strength
    “What physical activities make you feel most alive and ‘in the zone’? How might God be using your physical vitality to serve others?”
  • Rest and Renewal
    “In what ways does your body signal it needs rest? How can you better honor the ‘Temple of the Holy Spirit’ through your daily habits?”
  • Sensory Awareness
    “Describe a moment this week when you felt God’s presence through your senses (sight, sound, touch). What was your body telling you in that moment?”
  • Skill Mastery
    “What is a physical skill or craft you have mastered with ease? How does using this skill bring glory to God?”
  • Health as Service
    “How does your current physical health impact your ability to exercise your spiritual gifts? What is one small step toward better stewardship today?”

Knowledge and Intellectual Growth

Notice where your curiosity, thinking patterns, and wisdom point to God’s design in your inner wiring.

  • Knowledge Discovery
    “What topics or subjects do you find yourself constantly researching or ‘hungry’ to learn more about? Is there a pattern in this knowledge?”
  • Mental Renewal
    “Reflect on Romans 12:2. What ‘patterns of this world’ are currently cluttering your mind, and how can you invite the Holy Spirit to renew your thinking?”
  • Problem Solving
    “When faced with a challenge, what is your go-to mental strategy? Do you lean toward logic, intuition, or creative ‘out-of-the-box’ thinking?”
  • Clarity of Vision
    “If you could remove all distractions for one hour, what deep questions would you ask God about your mental focus and career path?”
  • Wisdom Application
    “Recall a time you gave advice that truly helped someone. What ‘Knowledge’ or ‘Wisdom’ (KSA) did you draw upon in that moment?”

Gifts and Divine Connection

Discern the spiritual gifts, fruit, and patterns of connection that reveal how the Holy Spirit moves through you.

  • Gift Identification
    “Which spiritual gifts (e.g., encouragement, leadership, mercy) do others often affirm in you? How do you feel when operating in these areas?”
  • Fruit of the Spirit
    “Which ‘Fruit of the Spirit’ (Galatians 5:22) is most evident in your life right now, and which one do you feel led to cultivate further?”
  • Prayer Patterns
    “When do you feel most connected to God during prayer? Is it in silence, through song, or while serving others?”
  • Spiritual Legacy
    “If you were to be remembered for one ‘Spiritual Gift’ that impacted the lives of those around you, what would you want it to be?”
  • Divine Promptings
    “Has there been a ‘nudge’ or a ‘whisper’ from the Holy Spirit lately that you have been resisting? What is holding you back from total surrender?”

Purpose and Marketplace Ministry

Bring Body, Mind, and Spirit together as you consider how your KSA and Gifts show up in real work, real relationships, and real service.

  • Marketplace Ministry
    “How can your specific ‘Ability’ (KSA) be used as a form of ministry in your current workplace or business setting?”
  • The ‘Sweet Spot’
    “Describe a task where your Knowledge, Skill, and Spiritual Gift all overlapped perfectly. What was the outcome for you and for others?”
  • Overcoming Burnout
    “Where is your ‘Soul’ feeling heavy or misaligned with your daily work? What shift is needed to move toward ‘God’s design’ for your life?”
  • Service Reflection
    “Think of a time you served someone ‘behind the scenes.’ How did that experience refine your understanding of your unique contribution to the Body of Christ?”
  • Vision Casting
    “What is one ‘God-sized’ dream you have for your life that requires you to fully lean into your KSA and Gifts?”
