This Spiritual Inventory Survey is not a gospel presentation but a tool designed to prompt individuals to reflect on their beliefs and understanding of Jesus. The survey asks questions that most people have never considered, challenging them to examine their diverse and often inconsistent set of beliefs, which they've accumulated over time based on personal preferences and the idea of "it sounds good to me."
By encouraging people to analyze their own beliefs, the survey helps them realize that their ideas may not align with reality or form a coherent set of thoughts. This awareness prepares them to be more receptive to God's truth.
The survey is often used with college students who are typically open to new ideas and accustomed to taking surveys on campus. They also tend to have the time to engage with the survey in a meaningful way. This survey is frequently paired with a testimony or a gospel presentation to introduce the gospel message.

WEBSITE: The Great Exchange - The Great Exchange is a ministry that equips churches and ministries with tools to share the gospel. They partner with churches to hold events on campuses and in communities, where survey participants are asked if they would like to take a spiritual interest survey. After listening to their responses, surveyors ask if the individual would like to learn how to know God personally. This polite listening approach often opens the door to share the gospel and invite individuals to follow Jesus.
