Your Ethos Profile
Something brought you here. Maybe life feels off and you can’t explain why. Maybe you’re curious, or you want to try spiritual practices but don’t know where to start. Either way, you’re in the right place.
Your profile below maps four areas of what it means to be human: identity, relationships, reality, and purpose.
The more filled a segment, the more aligned that area of your life is. Even when everything looks aligned on paper though, life can still feel off. That’s worth paying attention to – it might mean your values themselves need a closer look.
What’s next?
We’ve selected an area for you to start with. Inside it you’ll find insights into how you’re wired, and simple spiritual practices, rooted in the way of Jesus, that you can try this week.
This doesn’t have to be a one-time snapshot. You’ll have the option to join a month-long journey for each practice. We recommend you revisit your profile to see how things change and develop.
Start with Relationships
From your results, we recommend that you start with Relationships
You can hold the complexity of injustice: that it lives in both individual choices and in systems and structures. You speak up when something is wrong, and you take your own accountability seriously. However, although you believe in hearing different views, some opinions test that commitment. You can find it hard to know when to speak and when to hold back and peace sometimes comes at the cost of honesty. In addition, at times, you feel the tension between wanting to manage things on your own and knowing you need other people. Sometimes you have a tendency to retreat from others. Your responses suggest some genuine alignment in this area, but also real tension – places where what you believe and how you actually live don't quite match. That gap isn't a failure; it's where growth tends to happen. The practice suggested here is designed to help you pay attention to the tension and begin to address it.
Start hereYou may want to focus on Purpose
You value your freedom and exercise it, but you also understand that your choices affect others. You set limits on what others can demand of you, while holding your freedom in a way that leaves room for genuine care and love for others. However, you have glimpses of purpose but struggle to hold it consistently. Sometimes you act from a clear sense of direction; other times you find yourself just responding to whatever's in front of you. In addition, your relationship with power is mixed. In some situations you share it freely; in others you find it hard to let go. You're still working out when to take charge and when to release control. Your responses suggest some genuine alignment in this area, but also real tension – places where what you believe and how you actually live don't quite match. That gap isn't a failure; it's where growth tends to happen. The practice suggested here is designed to help you pay attention to the tension and begin to address it.

You have a sense of home: people, places or practices that ground you. You can be fully present where you are, while remaining open to new experiences. You pay attention to what your body is telling you and treat it as connected to your emotional and inner life, not just a machine to keep running. You notice physical signals as clues to what's going on beneath the surface. You draw meaning from a bigger story. You see your life as part of something larger than yourself. Your responses suggest that in this area, what you believe and how you live are broadly in sync. This doesn't mean there's nothing left to explore. Even when things feel aligned, life can still feel incomplete or unsettled, this can be because our values need attention. The practice suggested here can help.
See how to grow in this areaYou may want to focus on Identity
You genuinely believe every person has worth, not as an abstract principle, but you put it into practise with how you actually treat people. You have a strong sense of how you form your views. You're not easily unsettled when others push back and you're willing to examine your own thinking. You have a sense of self-worth that doesn't rise and fall with other people's opinions. You welcome growth and feedback, not because your value depends on it, but because you want to grow. Your responses suggest that in this area, what you believe and how you live are broadly in sync. This doesn't mean there's nothing left to explore. Even when things feel aligned, life can still feel incomplete or unsettled, this can be because our values need attention.
