Each Person is a Universe of Possibilities.
The Flourishing Currents Assessment isn’t just another APEST assessment; it’s a fundamental reimagining of human potential through the maturing of Christ’s gifts in you.
Unlocking Human Potential
From Assessment Categories to Dynamic Potential
APEST assessments have helped millions understand their spiritual gifts by identifying their primary expressions of ministry. What we’ve done is propose a shift from Static to Dynamic – where fixed assessments (‘you’re primarily Apostolic’, ‘you’re a Teacher’) become flowing movements of continuous maturity.
From Fixed to Expansive, where bounded definitions (‘you’re an Apostolic leader’, ‘you’re a Prophetic voice’) open into the unlimited potential of Christ’s fullness within you. Because the seed of Christ dwells within you, you have the potential to grow into His fullness – the perfect expression of APEST maturity. This transformation unfolds in two ways:
From Static to Dynamic
- Diagnostic → Generative
- Categorization → Possibility
- Diagnosis → Discovery
From Fixed to Expansive
- Limitation → Potential
- Restriction → Growth
- Definition → Development
When you truly pursue purpose, something remarkable happens: you naturally dissociate from limitations. Not because you’re fighting them or breaking free – they fall away as your focus shifts to purpose. As you shift from fixed categories to limitless possibilities, you’ll find that purpose naturally dissolves the limitations that once defined you.
It’s not about overcoming limitations – purpose naturally draws your focus elsewhere. As you follow purpose, you access potential that was always there.
The more you access this potential, the harder it becomes to accept any fixed category. Growth becomes a natural byproduct of pursuing purpose, not a goal in itself
Through years of witnessing this pattern, we discovered something profound: when people focus on pursuing purpose, they naturally expand beyond preset limitations. Categories and assessments that once seemed to define them become too small to contain what purpose reveals.
A Profound Pattern
Purpose Reveals Unfolding Potential
When purpose guides development, categories naturally expand, revealing more than any assessment can capture. Though assessments offer value as starting points for recognizing capacity, they’re not meant to be final measurements or fixed identifications.
We recognize that you can’t be reduced to a single APEST gift, so our assessment becomes a doorway to reveal something much more significant–YOU! The APEST assessment provides the space to understand your journey: where you’ve been, where you are, and how you’re growing into the fullness of Christ’s five-fold ministry gifts.
