Module: Spiritual Disciplines Practice

Purpose

The Spiritual Disciplines Practice module directly assesses the user’s engagement with key Christian disciplines that form the foundation of spiritual maturity, intimacy with God, and long-term faithfulness. These disciplines are not merely habits but transformational practices that shape the soul and open the spirit to God's work.

This module helps uncover how consistently and authentically users integrate both personal and communal spiritual rhythms, as well as the heart posture behind their practices.
