We used Ministry Insights to help our staff understand the best way to communicate and relate to each other. Rodney Cox led a follow-up staff retreat that was amazing! If you want to have your ministry team leading from their strengths, then I highly recommend Ministry Insights and the help they can provide!

Ministry Insights, and especially “Leading From Your Strength” has been an effective tool which I have used as a ministry leader to unite, and strengthen our state and local church ministry teams, and their congregation. It promotes fundamental biblical principles for true team work as we build healthy growing congregations!!

My experience with living from your strengths was while on Young Life staff in the mid 90s! It was extremely revealing and gave me great insight to my strengths, and how to communicate with others. I have since become great friends with Rodney Cox, and have helped thousands of people go through the living from your strength profile and have to say it’s the best tool I’ve ever seen. I use it every week and the lot of people I coach, and in churches that I encounter.

This review has 2 parts: The first is a rave for the team at Ministry Insights. Rodney and his team have, very personally and effectively, worked with me for over a decade....and they've been both patient and supportive to me, my ministry and the leaders I serve. The second rave is for their tools. I can't even count the places, people, or situations where I have used their tools and inventories...in, both, ministry and for-profit organizations. So insightful So revealing So empowering ...and so personal I am happy (and eager) to tell you more... Thank you Rodney and Team!!

I have been using Ministry Insights for over 13 years since I was certified as a Strengths Coach in 2010. I love the Insights' tool. It is easy to use and understand. I have used in individual counseling to help someone with their personal journey. I have used it marriage and pre-marriage counseling to help couples understand each other and resolve conflict. I have used it in hiring new team members to gain a better understanding of who the individual is and what strengths they might bring to the team / organization. And, I have used it in team building, helping members understand and appreciate one another and how God made us all different for a reason - to compliment each other and build a more effective, interdependent team. Thanks to Rodney, Leigh and everyone else on the team for creating a fantastic tool that benefits so many. God bless you all. Pastor Andy Ferguson Yakima First Baptist Comunidad Cristiana

As a professional coach, utilizing an assessment that helps others understand and engage their strengths effectively is of critical value. Ministry Insights resources help people know and effectively utilize their strengths while understanding/encouraging the strengths and preferences of others. Understanding how effectively activating the unique strengths of others helps "complete" a team is one central value of Ministry Insights resources.

Full disclosure: I am a certified Ministry Insights facilitator and for good reason: in the crowded field of personality inventories, Ministry Insights provides some of my favorite tools. Their Leading From Your Strengths assessment is a non-threatening and encouraging approach to temperament reports. Their research has broad applications, from position profiles for the hiring process, to helping married couples better understand each other. If you lead a hiring team, a church, para-church organization, or just want to better understand your own strengths, I highly recommend Ministry Insights!

My clients are surprised how this tool describes their strengths and where they need support; how to apply this information to their goals and relationships. Used with couples or groups, it helps their members understand how others see their world compared to themselves, which helps them work together more effectively. That the assessment takes only a few minutes of their time is a positive. As a Christian coach, I can use the professional diagnostics to dig deeper and understand how each client is so wonderfully made. I highly recommend this assessment, which can be used with Christians and with non-Christians. Ask the staff how to use it with non-Christians.

The market is flooded with personality assessments. This one is different. THIS is the ONE that you want to use for your team. Ministry Insights International was created to see healthy teams and church staff thrive. Too many teams are burnt out, toxic, and/or dysfunctional. If you want a healthy, people-first team where you are creating leaders, you can trust the team at Ministry Insights to get you there.

FAQ's

Q. What’s the difference between Leading From Your Strengths Profiles and your other profile products? A. Leading From Your Strengths (LFYS) Profiles are personalized, detailed 20-page reports which accurately describe your individual habitual patterns of behavior, thought, emotion, and communication. They provide you with sophisticated, objective insights and action steps about your unique strengths – data you and your team can use immediately and long-term. All Ministry Insights profile products draw upon the same principle: every person is uniquely gifted and contribute to his or her work environment, marriage, or family. Each profile set analyzes your one-of-a-kind personality information and equips you to use your strengths in that particular setting (Leading From Your Strengths Profiles in your work setting and Marriage Insights Profiles in your marriage.)

Q. Can I purchase profiles for other people, such as members of my team? Yes. When you purchase profiles online, you will designate an email delivery address (or addresses) on the order form. You will receive a receipt for your purchase onscreen. Simultaneously, an email is delivered to the address(es) you designate, which includes a web site address and a personalized response link (single-use password). Recipients go to the website, enter their personalized response link, and complete the process.

Q. Should our team fill out our questionnaires together? A. No. You and your team members should fill out profile questionnaires individually.

Q. Can I take the profile questionnaire if I am not at my own computer? Yes. Profiles can be completed at anytime, from any Internet-connected computer in the world. Your results will be delivered immediately to your inbox.

Q. Are the profiles available in other languages in addition to English? Currently, the Leading From Your Strengths profile is the only profile product fully translated into Spanish, meaning both the online questionnaire and the profile results are available in Spanish. When responding to the questionnaire select Spanish from the response language drop-down menu. Both your online questionnaire and profile results will be in Spanish; the purchasing agent for the profile will receive the profile results in English. If the purchasing agent is the respondent, he will receive two sets of results, one in English and one in Spanish.

The online questionnaire can be completed in more than 30 languages by simply selecting a different language option at the questionnaire website. However, profile results are provided only in English (or Spanish).

Q. How should we use the profile reports? A. Sharing your profile results with your team will become a great springboard to increased communication and understanding. After both of you have completed the questionnaire and received your personal profile report, set aside time to discuss the results. Download the Leading From Your Strengths Workbook. Go through it on your own to gain deeper insights about your individual report. Ask team members to do the same. Use the Leading From Your Strengths Team-Building Discovery Kit with your team. Identify which actions step to take as a team short-term and long-term.

Q. What is the difference between Leading From Your Strengths Profiles and Position Insights Profiles? A. The Leading From Your Strengths Profile is a personalized, 20-page report that captures the strengths of an individual after that person fills out a 10-minute questionnaire. The Position Insights Profile is a 12-page report, completed by a recruiting team answering questions about the strengths demands for a job, which provides a clear and accurate picture of the behavioral demands of a specific job or position. (Learn more about Position Insights Profiles here.)
