We live in a world that constantly measures us by numbers, accomplishments, and highlight reels. But rarely do we stop and measure what actually matters most. Our faith. Our family. Our fitness. Our finances.
That is why the Made For This Health Check is such a powerful tool. It is not about chasing perfection. It is about being honest about where you are right now and inviting God’s grace into the areas where you need it most.
A Story of Honest Assessment
Let me tell you about Sarah. She is a young mom of three who works part time, manages her kids’ schedules, and tries to keep her marriage strong. When she sat down with the Health Check, she admitted she was nervous. She felt like it might expose the parts of her life she would rather not face.
Her faith score was solid. She spent time in prayer most mornings and felt connected to her church. But when she got to the fitness section, she realized she had not been consistent with exercise in over a year. Her energy was low and she often felt like her body was more of a burden than the gift God created it to be.
Then she looked at her finances and that is where it hit hardest. Living month to month left her anxious about the future. That was her lowest score and she knew it.
For Sarah, the Health Check did not feel like a failure. It felt like a wake up call. It gave her a chance to bring her struggles into the light and begin moving forward with a plan.
The Power of Reflection
Each section of the Health Check includes a reflection prompt and a scripture. Sarah wrote down her thoughts in a journal.
For faith, she realized she felt closest to God when she walked outside and prayed as she went. What hindered her was constant rushing.
For family, she admitted she was called to love her husband and kids most, but she was not always showing up emotionally for them.
For fitness, she wrote that she had cared for her body by choosing water over soda but had neglected it by skipping rest and exercise.
For finances, she admitted her biggest source of stress was credit card debt. The one step she could take that month was to create a budget with her husband.
Those simple reflections became her starting point.
Connecting It to Made For This
The Made For This book goes deeper into each of these areas. Faith. Family. Fitness. Finances. It shows how God designed us to live fully in Him. Sarah took her Health Check results and began reading through the book with them in mind.
She found that it was not about adding more to her plate. It was about realignment. In the section on finances, she discovered that giving is not about guilt but about freedom. In fitness, she was reminded that her body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, worthy of care. In family, she was challenged to be present, not just busy.
For Sarah, the Health Check revealed where she needed growth, and Made For This gave her the gospel centered clarity to actually take steps forward.
Why This Matters
You might not be a mom of three, but maybe you are a college student wondering about your future. Maybe you are a business leader trying to balance work and home. Or maybe you are just someone who feels like life is moving faster than you can keep up.
Wherever you are, the Health Check gives you space to pause, breathe, and ask: Am I living fully in what God made me for?
Do not measure yourself by the world’s scorecard. Measure by God’s design. You were made for this.
