Now that you've taken the Faith Individuality Type (FIT) Inventory, you may be asking: Now What?
The first thing to do is wait. Isaiah 40:31 reads, "Those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." Waiting is the hardest thing to do in our modern society. We want things instantaneously. Yet a willingness to wait will open yourself to God. Think about how you love God today. Use this time of waiting to pray that God will help you love God with 'all'.
Plus, it takes a few days to compile your results. The last question of the inventory asks for your email. You will receive a personal message containing your score. It will list the four main faith types followed by a number. For example:
Heart 10
Strength 5
Mind 9
Soul 5
In this example, this person's faith type leans heavier to Heart and Mind. This person needs to grow in the areas of Strength and Soul. Any questions?

What are specific ways to grow toward faith wholeness?
If Heart is low: Sing more, listen to music and get lost in it, read the Psalms, enjoy the stories of other Christians, look up names for God and use a different one according to how you feel, remember what God has done for you, discover what excites you most about God and do it everyday
If Strength is low: Make a list of your gifts and talents and use them, volunteer at a local place of need, go on a mission/work trip, think about where God needs help the most in our world and go there, collect money for a good cause, enlist the help of others for the Kingdom, look through the pamphlet, "Roll Up Your Sleeves," and find an area that you can serve in our church
If Mind is low: Read a Bible, use resources for the Bible (like a concordance, dictionary, or commentary), join a Sunday school class or a Bible Study group, memorize scripture, read other books about God, take notes during sermons, listen to experts
If Soul is low: Spend more time in solitude, meditate on God's presence, give up things in your life and replace them with God, pray as often as you can and when possible speak, read the Bible for God's voice to you, go outside to experience the Creator in the creation, permit yourself to love God differently
