Servant

You sacrifice much because of your firmly held values and ideas.

Servants attempt to translate who they are into a gift for the world. They make an effort to accomplish as many of their faith goals as possible. They seek God’s guidance in all their daily activities. From the outside, Servants may appear to be spiritual overachievers, for they are willing to sacrifice so much because of their firmly held personal values and ideas.

You rethink the way things are usually done.

Servants rethink the way things are usually done in their group or community. They question firmly held ideas about calling and discipleship. Sometimes they feel as if they want to rebel against the group and its leaders, and at other times they just want to withdraw.

You are developing your own worldview.

Servants may feel that they have developed a worldview above and beyond the insights of the church. They function with a strong responsibility to make explicit choices about ideology and lifestyle.

You are converting your beliefs into a way of living.

Servants want to live a purpose-driven life. They want to ‘convert’ their contributions to society into a way of living. They are on a quest to discover their life calling. They are called forward into life. They find meaning at the intersection of what the world needs to have done and what they need to do, at the point where the needs of the world and their particular gifts meet. This is best discovered by going out and getting their hands dirty.
