Kingdom Leaders:ACTIVATED
Introduction
Are You Building on Kingdom Foundations?
Examine the source behind what you teach, the tools you use, and what you are training others to depend on.
This audit is not about what you know. It is about what you are building on. Before you can evaluate what you encounter going forward, you need to look honestly at what you are already carrying in your practice, your language, your methods, and your own formation.
This will take approximately fifteen to twenty minutes. Work through it slowly. Be honest. The Holy Spirit is a faithful guide through this process if you invite Him into it.

Psalm 11:3
When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?
Before we evaluate what is coming in, we examine what is already present. That is the harder and more important work. A leader who builds from an unexamined foundation cannot protect the people they are building with.
What Are You Building On?
Every coaching or leadership practice has a foundation, whether examined or not. This section looks at what you believe is producing transformation in the people you work with, and whether that is clearly rooted in God.
Matthew 7:24–25
Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.
Write honestly, as if explaining it to another leader. Not the polished version — the real one.
Explicitly and consistently — He is named as the source in all I do
Usually, though not always — He is present but not always stated
Occasionally — I reference God but it is not central to how I describe my work
Not as a rule — I keep my practice professionally broad
What Language Are You Using?
The words you use consistently teach people how to understand transformation. Language is not neutral. It carries the framework of the source it comes from. This section examines the terms embedded in your content, your coaching, and your programmes.
Colossians 4:6
Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
Choose all that apply. You will reflect on them in the question below.
Energy
Alignment
Frequency / vibration
Manifestation
Nervous system
Subconscious
Somatic
Inner healing
Chakra
The universe
Spirit guides
Higher self
Law of attraction
Abundance mindset
Yes — I have examined all of them and I can explain their grounding clearly
Some of them — others I have adopted without fully examining
Not in depth — I use them because they are common in the coaching space
What Tools Are You Using?
What you use to produce results carries a framework, whether you are aware of it or not. That framework shapes how your clients understand transformation. This section examines the tools, exercises, and practices inside your coaching or programmes.
Colossians 2:8
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.
Include everything — frameworks, worksheets, meditations, physical practices, energy work, journalling approaches, assessments.
Yes — I have examined all of them and I am confident in their grounding
Most of them — there are some I have not examined in depth
Some of them — others I use because they appear to produce results
Not deeply — I have not thought of my tools in terms of spiritual origin
If the answer is yes, name them. That is the starting point for examination.
What Frameworks Are You Teaching?
Every model or framework carries assumptions about human beings, transformation, and how change happens. Those assumptions form the people who receive them. This section examines the models and systems you teach and whether you can trace them clearly to a Kingdom foundation.
Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Include everything — your signature frameworks, models you have been trained in, and structures you have adopted from others.
Yes — every framework I teach has a clear biblical basis I can explain
Most of them — some I use from training that I have not traced biblically
Some of them — others come from secular coaching or psychology
I have not examined them at that level
Yes — the Holy Spirit is explicitly named as the one who leads transformation
Sometimes — in some areas but not consistently across all I teach
Rarely — my frameworks operate more in the psychological or strategic space
Not as a rule — I keep my frameworks broadly applicable
What Are You Training Clients to Rely On?
What your practice produces in the short term matters less than what it trains people to depend on over time. A Kingdom coaching practice should leave people with a clearer relationship with God and Scripture, not simply with your methods. This section examines the direction of dependence your work creates.
Jeremiah 17:5–8
Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh. But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.
God, His Word, and the leading of the Holy Spirit
A combination — primarily God, supported by tools and skills they have learned
The tools and methods they have been taught
This has not been a clearly defined aim in my practice
If you serve a secular audience: this question applies to whether your methodology is actively pointing people toward God, even if not in explicit faith language. A Kingdom leader serving any audience should be building people toward the source, not away from it.
That is an explicit aim of everything I do
Usually, though I have not always made it explicit
Sometimes — it depends on the client's openness
That has not been a primary aim of my programmes
This is one of the most important questions in this audit. Reflect carefully.
Is the Holy Spirit Specifically Named in Your Work?
Clarity about the Holy Spirit is not optional for Kingdom leaders. Many practitioners reference spirit, divine energy, or higher guidance without naming the Holy Spirit specifically. That vagueness matters. There are many spirits, but only one Holy Spirit. This section examines how present and specific He is in your practice.
John 16:13
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
If you serve a secular audience: this question applies to your own practice and personal framework — not necessarily to your explicit language with clients. The question is whether the Holy Spirit is specifically named and active in how YOU work, even if your client-facing language is adapted for your audience. A Kingdom leader always knows who is leading them, regardless of context.
Specifically named as the Holy Spirit — consistently and intentionally
Referenced generally — as spirit, presence, or God without always specifying
Rarely referenced explicitly in my coaching work
Not explicitly referenced in my professional practice
Pause, pray, and seek the Holy Spirit for wisdom before responding
Apply a framework or method from my training
Refer to another resource or coach
A combination — it depends on the situation
In your own words. Not the ideal answer — the honest one.
What Is Forming You?
The most revealing audit question is not what you teach. It is what is forming you as the leader behind the practice. What forms you will eventually flow through you to your clients. This section looks at your own spiritual formation and whether it is aligned with what you are building.
Luke 6:40
The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.
Scripture, prayer, community, accountability, discipleship. Be specific about what is actually present, not what you intend.
No — I have examined my own practices and they are clearly grounded
I have not examined this at the level this question requires
Yes, there are some areas I have not fully brought under Kingdom alignment
Not as a minister or leader. As a person. What is actually happening in your interior life right now?

Your personal audit results
What follows is a reflection of your responses. Read it slowly. Bring it before God. The areas flagged below are not condemnations — they are invitations. The Holy Spirit is faithful to lead you from wherever you are to wherever He is calling you.
"Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."
Psalm 139:23–24
