  4. Re-assess Discipleship Spiritual Formation Inventory – In 2008, Brad J. Waggoner and his research team looked at the beliefs and practices of 2,500 active, church-going Protestants from across the country, basing their analysis upon seven domains of biblical spiritual formation: 1. Learning Truth, 2. Obeying God and Denying Self, 3. Serving God and Others, 4. Sharing Christ, 5. Exercising Faith, 6. Seeking God, 7. Building Relationships.

Re-assess Discipleship Among adults (18 or older) who claim to be Christians: • Fewer than 1 in 5 (18%) claim to be “totally committed” to investing themselves in personal spiritual development. • Just 1 in 7 (14%) say that their faith in and relationship with God is the highest priority in their lives. • Only 1 in 5 (20%) contend that the single, most important decision they have ever made was to invite Jesus Christ to forgive them and become their Savior. • Fewer than 1 in 5 (16%) believe that absolute moral truth exists and is defined by the Bible. • Slightly more than 1 in 5 (22%) stated that they live in a way which makes them completely dependent one God.
