I Just Completed My GRIP-Birkman Assessment!
Congratulations! You are well on your way to building unity in the Body of Christ through understanding your unique fit.
Let’s take a quick look at what you have received:
GRIP Report
GRIP Summary Report. The GRIP looks at your supernatural DNA, or how the Holy Spirit empowers you, using three different assessment results for Spiritual Gifts, Team Styles, and Body Building Roles. Taken as a whole, the GRIP-Birkman answers the questions, “Where are you strong? Where are you weak? Who do you need?” Understanding and using your Spiritual Gifts to build the Body of Christ is a prayerful discernment process that is best accomplished in the context of relationships. The GRIP Report is a starting point for that process and is best facilitated by your coach.
SPIRITUAL GIFTS – How the Holy Spirit empowers you to serve and equip the Body of Christ and those seeking Jesus.
TEAM STYLES – How your Gift combination allows you to contribute meaningfully in a team setting.
BODY BUILDING ROLES – How your Gift combination contributes to growth and expansion of the Body of Christ.
Birkman Report
Birkman ® Report. The Birkman ® portion of your Grip-Birkman report looks at your natural behaviors based on the assessment of four aspects of your natural DNA: Your Usual Style, your underlying Needs, your Stress behaviors, and your Interests. Each is thoroughly unpacked by the Birkman Method ®, a scientifically validated behavioral assessment. Understanding your relationships in ministry is a prayerful discernment process. Your Birkman ® Report is a starting point for that process and best facilitated by your coach.
