Why Us
APEST-11D™ Assessment
Our understanding of how Christ’s APEST gifts truly operate in His church drives us to combine hands-on practice, advanced analytics, and independent research into a deeply insightful and practically proven assessment.
The APEST-11D™ Assessment goes beyond identifying primary APEST expressions, uncovering how Christ’s gifts operate across multiple dimensions of ministry. It reveals intricate patterns of how these gifts interact to build up the body of Christ and illuminate your unique spiritual design, providing pathways for maturity in serving His church and others.
We show you what's been true about you all along—then help you stop fighting it.

How Does APEST-11D™ Work
Revealing Christ's Gifts
The Flourishing Currents APEST-11D™ assessment leverages advanced scoring logic and expert research to reveal how Christ’s gifts uniquely manifest in your ministry in ways you might not realize. Analyzing eleven dimensions doesn’t just identify individual gifts—it uncovers how they interact to strengthen the church. This process is guided by five integrated frameworks:
Five APEST GIFTS: Christ's foundational gifts are measured independently, revealing your unique expression of each.
Operational Modes: Three ways gifts are expressed: simultaneously, sequentially, and contextually.
Eleven Dimensions: Categorized into Foundational Dynamics, Leadership Transformation, and Complex Interactions.
Integration Mapping: Shows how your gifts interact across dimensions for greater kingdom impact."
Maturity Stages: Track your development with each gift, from emerging to maturing.

APEST-11D™ in Action
Operational Modes in Action
Finally Seen As a Shepherd
Consider this real-world example: Sarah’s APEST-11D™ assessment revealed an eye-opening pattern. ‘I always had a deep desire to shepherd people through complex situations, but I’d lose them before I could get there. I’d start by prophetically confronting issues, then press for understanding as a teacher, and only then move into shepherding care. The assessment helped me see why people weren’t experiencing my shepherd’s heart – they couldn’t get past my initial prophetic confrontation!’
Moving Through Multiple Gifts
Now Sarah knows that in complex interactions, leading with shepherding care, followed by teaching insight, before any prophetic confrontation creates the trust needed for real transformation.
Mature Interaction Patterns In Action
From Confusion To Connection
Before taking the APEST-11D™ Assessment, Lauren struggled with how others perceived her leadership. Conversations often left her team unsure of what to expect. She fluidly operated in all five APEST gifts—apostolic, prophetic, teaching, shepherding, and evangelistic—but the contextual shifts felt unpredictable to others.
The APEST-11D™ assessment revealed that while this adaptability was her strength, it could confuse her team without clear communication.
Clarity in Contextual Shifts
Now, Lauren uses simple cues to clue her team into her focus: 'I’m putting on my shepherding hat' or 'Let’s take an apostolic approach here.' By naming her focus in real time, her team confidently engages with her leadership, no matter the context.
