Anyone! The WPA serves anyone who is interested in looking more deeply at their identity. It is often helpful for those who are in the process of making a decision about their life direction or career choices, or who are processing questions about their identity. It is also helpful for members of small teams who want to take a deep dive into how to spiritually and functionally collaborate together to accomplish what God has given them to do.

The WPA begins with taking a look at various parts of who you are using 5 personal assessments. After you complete the assessments, the interpretation process begins where prayerful discernment uncovers the themes of how you personally and holistically reflect God’s own character. This involves an inductive analysis process. completed either by your trained WPA facilitator who will then present it to you, or together along with your coach over the course of several coaching sessions. The last stage is summarizing your calling and the next steps you’ll take to live into God’s own character in your identity.

After contacting a trained WPA facilitator or coach, your WPA journey starts with customizing your WPA. You can choose from 2 formats:

• The Coaching WPA

  involves a series of coaching sessions with a WPA coach to complete the assessments and interpret them together. This is primarily helpful for those who prefer to take time to process the deep details of their identity and calling and to set goals and targets with a trained coach.

• The Condensed WPA

  involves a 2-hour debrief session with a WPA facilitator after you finish the assessments. This is primarily helpful for those who prefer to hear the big-picture vision of their calling and quickly start living out the implications rather than spend time processing each piece.

• In the Values Sorter you rank a set of values according to your ideal preferences to describe your top heart motivators.

• The PREP Personality profile is a rigorously-validated personality profile tool that helps describe your general disposition, communication style and decision-making style.

• In the Practical Roles inventory you rate a series of statements about work tasks on a scale of 1-5 to determine the top skills that you can most easily and most often perform.

• In the Spiritual Gifts inventory you rate a series of statements about spiritual tasks on a scale of 1-5 to determine the top spiritual gifts that you use most easily and most often.

• The Life Map is an opportunity for you to share an overview of critical events and experiences in your life personally, professionally, and spiritually to describe your journey up to this point.

Inductive analysis is a practice that uses objective observation to understand the source material or situation. First, the elements of the source material or situation are noted and objective descriptions are made. Next, an interpretation of the observations is built by synthesizing the themes, repetitions, contrasts, connections, and structural elements in the source material. Lastly the conclusions of the interpretation are applied through an implementation plan.

The WPA uses prayerful, Holy-Spirit guided inductive analysis to understand the human and spiritual realities of identity. By observing your traits and interpreting them from a scriptural perspective, the WPA enables you to hear from God about yourself. Then the application is your chance to step out in faith into what God has shown you!
