It helps people discover the most powerful motivation: destiny (God-given personal calling or purpose) and enables them to take practical steps to fulfill God’s will.
It applies to seasoned believers as well as those new in the faith, from students to seniors. It’s been used with various types of churches and cultures, around the world.
We did the small group intro session last week and found that the experience was like a rocket coming off the launch pad…it just kept soaring to new heights as people gained revelation and insight into how their positive and negative experiences and role models had shaped their Destiny.
I personally saw nothing short of miraculous transformation as one participant was able to share things NEVER BEFORE ARTICULATED as a result of the format of the small group and the penetrating questions! His wife stated this individual had a joy never experienced as the heaviness lifted off him last week. Wow!

Having taken Strengths Finder 2.0 in the past, I quickly realized that this would not be another simple personality assessment. The affirmation that I received for how I was made, and what I was made to do, was life changing. God prophetically breathed on the Destiny Finder process for me and gave me a confidence that I had not had before.
Another huge benefit of Destiny Finder was that when I looked at my wife and my friends, I was able to more clearly understand their specific makeup from a biblical perspective. The unity and appreciation for others that comes from seeing them as God sees them is priceless. I have recommended Destiny Finder to many of my friends and family since taking it, and I plan to continue to do so.

It’s been one of the most fun, life-giving active classes at our church because it’s so invigorating for people to identify their giftings and then begin walking in them, begin serving in them. People take it to the workplace, people use it in their relationships and friendships and it really has inspired our people.

We had our Destiny Finder conference and it was amazing. The feedback from the people has been so positive. The amazing thing, there’s a lot of surveys you can do to discover your gifts and strengths. But what I’ve never found is such an overwhelming positive response in terms of people saying, ‘Yes, that is me.’ Quite often, I find people will say, ‘That’s kind of me.’ But this has been so spot on with person after person just saying, ‘Yes, that’s me.’ Kind of like, ‘You don’t know me, but you know me. How is that possible?’
I believe one of the things is it’s just so biblically based. The people are really so excited for me as a pastor to just get into the lives, to work with them, to find out how we can help them on their journey towards their destiny. But to have that tool, to have that key that they already know what they are. I know the next question is, how can we pursue this? How can we go further with this? As a pastor, I’m just feeling so empowered, just having that knowledge and being able to engage with people on the results of their Destiny Finder findings.
I just want to thank you, Michael. Thank you, team. It’s been such a blessing. I just feel so empowered, I feel the wind under our wings to really bring people into maturity in Christ, and really see his kingdom come in our part of the world. Thank you for partnering with us. Thank you for investing in us. We love you guys. Thank you.
