Have you ever been divorced? *

Being divorced does not disqualify you from being an Encourager.

Please list past divorces and when they were finalized. *

Being divorced does not disqualify you from being an Encourager, but it is important that Encouragers are walking in freedom even as the emotions from a divorce are in the healing process. Describe how you are spiritually and emotionally doing in the wake of your divorce(s). *

Are there any areas of your life where you are struggling with walking in freedom (including areas of lust, addictions, disobedience)? If so, please explain. Were these areas addressed in your personal freedom appointment? If so, what counsel did you receive? *

Are you in a financially healthy place so that you are able to pay bills on time, stay out of serious debt and provide for your family? Explain. *

Please include 3 strengths and 3 weaknesses.

To the best of your knowledge, what is/are your spiritual gift(s)? *

Which of your gifts and abilities will help you in this ministry? *

What personal qualities or spiritual gifts will help you to be an Encourager? *

What do you do to keep yourself spiritually healthy? *

Someone coming for help through a Community Freedom Ministry will need to be treated with compassion. According to your understanding, what does it mean to be “compassionate”? Is this quality a character-strength of yours? Explain. *

In addition to using The Steps to Freedom in Christ, are there any other counseling/healing practices or techniques that you feel strongly that you need to use during the freedom appointment? If yes, please explain. *

If you become acquainted with other practices or techniques that you feel could be helpful to use during a freedom appointment (aside from The Steps to Freedom in Christ), we would require your clearing those with the Community Freedom Ministry leadership before employing them. Are you willing to abide by this policy? *

If you are accepted as an Encourager, how actively involved in a Community Freedom Ministry would you envision yourself being? *

For example:
- "Not sure how much time I will have"
- "Once in a while"
- "I'd like to work with people like _________"
- "I'll take as many freedom appointments as you can give me"

Feel free to explain your answers honestly!

Is there anything else that it going on in your life that we should know about? *

For example:
painful, draining situation with parents and/or children; involved in a lawsuit; under church discipline, etc.

Do you have a criminal record? Explain. *

Please include nature of crime(s), when/if you were convicted, time served, or fines paid.

Dr. Anderson gives this definition of a stronghold:

“Strongholds are mental habit patterns of thought burned into our minds over time or from the intensity of traumatic experiences."

Strongholds are revealed in un-Christlike temperaments and behavior patterns often unrecognized by self. Or if recognized, seldom understood as choice. For example, “So what if I am an insensitive person – that’s just the way I am.”

What have been some strongholds in your life? *

In the past how have you resolved anger, marital discord, bitterness, and resentment? Give examples. *

Have you had any occult or cult experiences? When? How did you deal with it? *

When and how did you first become aware of the reality of Satan and his forces at work in the world? *
