Reset Assessment

This is part of a present assessment and reset of the Media Ministry. It is not a test of the "right" answers — we want to understand where each person truly stands.

Do not answer based on what you think leadership wants to hear. Answer what is actually true of you.

Some questions branch based on your answers, so the length may differ per person. Take time to think before submitting.

First, who are you?

Enter your full name

Your first name and surname, please.

Why you're here

Q1. Why did you originally begin serving in the Media Ministry? I believed God was specifically leading me into Media Ministry. I felt led to serve God, and Media was where I had an opportunity to serve. I had an interest or skill in media and wanted to use it for God. Someone invited or encouraged me to join. I wanted to learn media skills while serving. I was not particularly sure; I simply began serving. Other

Why you're here

Q2. Looking at yourself now, why are you still serving in Media?

Your answer may differ from Q1. Explain what genuinely keeps you here now. ("I don't know" is a valid answer.)

Why you're here

Q3. Which statement best describes your present understanding of your place in Media?

This determines which follow-up questions you receive.

I believe I have a specific contribution I am meant to make, and I have some clarity about it. I believe I have a contribution to make, but I am still trying to understand it clearly. I mainly see myself as someone available to serve wherever I am needed. I am mainly serving because this is where I have been placed for now. I am currently unsure whether Media is where I should continue serving. I honestly have not thought deeply about this before.

Path A · A specific contribution Q4A. What specifically do you believe you are meant to contribute?

Be specific. Not "help the ministry grow" — what particular burden, skill, work, or direction do you believe has been placed on your heart?

Q5A. How does this contribution connect with the purpose of RCN and the Media Ministry? Q6A. How clear is this conviction to you? Very clear — I can explain exactly what I'm meant to do. Fairly clear — I understand the direction, though some details are unclear. Partly clear — I have a burden, but not sure what it means. Uncertain — I have ideas, but don't know if they're truly from God. I may have described an interest rather than a specific calling.

Path A · Clear conviction Q7A. What have you actually done with what you believe you have received?

Describe what you have personally attempted, initiated, learned, communicated, or contributed because of this conviction.

Path A · Seeking clarity Q7A. What have you personally done to gain clarity about whether this is truly from God or just an interest?

Prayed, studied, learned a skill, asked questions, discussed it with leadership, attempted something — or kept it to yourself?

Path A · Communication Q8A. Have you communicated this burden or direction to Media leadership? Yes, clearly. Yes, but only partially. I have mentioned it casually but never clearly presented it. No. I am not sure whether what I have is clear enough to present.

Path A · Communicated Q9A. What happened when you communicated it?

What did you present, how did leadership respond, and what did you do afterward?

Path A · Not communicated Q9B. What has prevented you from communicating it?

I was afraid it would not be accepted / I didn't know how / I waited for the right moment / I didn't think leadership was interested / I wasn't sure it was from God / I simply never took the step.

Path A · Continue Q10A. If you believe you are meant to contribute but aren't currently doing it, what's preventing it?

Which is the biggest factor — and why? (Lack of clarity / training / opportunity / time / confidence / previous discouragement / leadership direction / equipment / not enough initiative / didn't follow through / waiting for someone / no longer believe it's my responsibility.)

Path B · A burden, but not clear Q4B. What do you currently sense or desire to contribute?

It doesn't need to be fully developed. Tell us what you currently sense, even if unsure.

Q5B. What makes you uncertain about it? Q6B. What have you personally done to gain clarity?

Prayed, studied, learned a skill, asked questions, discussed with leadership, attempted something — or kept it to yourself?

Q7B. Is there anything you currently need from leadership to gain clarity?

Distinguish between something leadership genuinely needs to provide and something you personally need to pursue.

Path C · Serve where needed Q4C. What does "serving wherever I am needed" mean to you in practical terms? Q5C. What kind of contribution can you currently make reliably?

Your strongest area, and what you still need to learn.

Q6C. What would make you more willing and effective in serving?

Path D · Unsure whether to continue Q4D. What has caused this uncertainty? Q5D. Which best describes your current position? I want to continue but need clarity. I want to continue but I have become discouraged. I want to continue but I struggle with the current direction. I am unsure whether I still have the capacity to serve. I am considering stepping away. I believe I should probably step away.

Path D · Leaving Q6D. What would you want leadership to understand before you make that decision?

Responsibility & Ownership

Q8. Think about the most recent responsibility you were given in Media. What happened? I completed it and communicated the outcome. I completed it but did not communicate the outcome. I started it but did not finish it. I attempted it but became stuck. I did not begin it. I was unclear about what was expected. I cannot remember. I currently do not have a specific responsibility. Q9. If you encounter a problem, delay, lack of skill, or uncertainty with a task, what do you believe should happen? Wait until leadership checks on me. Continue trying until I solve it myself. Ask another team member. Inform leadership as soon as I know the task may not be completed as expected. Ask for clarification and continue from there. It depends on the situation. Q10. How often do you normally give an update when working on something assigned to you? Whenever I complete it. When I encounter a significant problem. At agreed checkpoints. Only when leadership asks. I normally don't give updates unless necessary. I am not sure what is expected.

Initiative

Q11. You notice something in Media is incomplete or not working, but nobody assigned it to you. What would you most likely do? Ignore it because it isn't my responsibility. Wait until leadership assigns someone. Tell leadership about it and wait for instructions. If within my ability and it doesn't conflict, take action and communicate what I did. Ask another team member to handle it. Other.

Direction, Ideas & Disagreement

Q12. You believe you have a better way, but leadership has already given a different instruction. What would you do? Follow the instruction and keep my alternative to myself. Follow while respectfully presenting my alternative. Ask questions to understand why the direction was chosen. Explain my disagreement and ask leadership to reconsider. Do what I believe is better if I strongly believe it will produce a better result. I am not sure.

Correction & Growth

Q13. Think about a time someone corrected your work in Media.

What was corrected, how did you feel, and what did you eventually do with it?

Q14. How do you usually respond when your work is corrected? I appreciate correction and normally apply it. I may initially feel uncomfortable, but I try to understand and improve. I usually need an explanation before I accept the correction. I sometimes disagree but will follow once it's clear. I find repeated correction discouraging. I prefer being given freedom to develop my own approach. I struggle with correction when I believe my original approach was reasonable.

What has happened to the ministry?

Q15. Things in Media have been started, stopped, changed, delayed, or not continued. What do you understand about the reasons?

Where you don't know, say "I don't know." Do not guess leadership's reasons.

Q16. When something changes or stops and you don't understand why, what do you normally do? Wait for leadership to explain it. Ask leadership for clarification. Discuss it with other team members. Continue doing what I was doing until told otherwise. Assume there's a reason and continue with the current direction. Become discouraged or disengage. Other.

Leadership Mirror

Q17. What do you believe Media leadership is currently doing well?

Be specific. "Everything is fine" is not particularly useful.

Q18. What do you believe Media leadership needs to improve?

Communication, clarity, training, consistency, availability, delegation, correction, planning, follow-up, or anything else. Give a specific example where possible.

Q19. When leadership hasn't given you enough clarity, attention, opportunity, or room to contribute, what do you normally do? Ask leadership directly. Send a message or request a conversation. Try to solve what I can and communicate what I need. Wait until leadership notices. Discuss it with other team members first. Become discouraged and reduce my involvement. I usually don't know what to do. Other.

The Reset

Q20. After reflecting, what is the biggest issue affecting your OWN service in Media right now, and what is one thing you believe you personally need to change, learn, or take more responsibility for?

Not the team. Not leadership. Your own service.

Q22. What is one thing you believe the Media Ministry needs to change or improve?

Commitment

Q23. Having considered your answers, which best describes your present position? I want to continue serving and am willing to submit to the direction of the Media Ministry while learning and growing. I want to continue, but there are things I genuinely need clarified. I want to continue, but there are concerns I believe need to be addressed. I am currently unsure whether I should continue. I do not believe I should continue serving in Media at this time.

Commitment

Q24A. What are you personally willing to commit to from this point forward?

Learning, communication, follow-through, availability, receiving correction, taking initiative, supporting others, accepting responsibility.

Commitment

Q24B. What specifically needs clarification before you can fully commit?

Distinguish between something you genuinely don't understand and something you simply disagree with.

Commitment

Q24C. What concerns do you believe need to be addressed?

And what would you personally be willing to do while those concerns are being addressed?

Commitment

Q24D. What would help you reach a clear decision?

Commitment

Q24E. Please explain your decision honestly.

Final Question

Q25. Is there anything important about your experience in Media that this form hasn't given you a chance to explain?

You may clarify, raise a concern, acknowledge something done poorly, ask for help, or tell leadership something important.
