Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach that puts everyone through the same education or process, we want every person to be able to discern in the way that works best for them.
Our top-of-the-line charism assessment software allows individuals to take the assessment on any device and allows both individuals and organizations to take action on the results.
We aren't just a software company, though - we also provide the ministry and education resources you need to make charism discernment clear and meaningful for all learning styles.

We desire to serve the Church at every level, making charism discernment approachable and attainable for all baptized Catholics. All of our resources are available digitally and accessible in our mobile app, but we also have hard copies of many resources for people who love to highlight, underline, and use Saint card bookmarks (we love that too).
We have both a lifetime deal and a subscription option that give you everything you need to teach your youth how to build the Church today.
Our charism assessment process is the most user-friendly in the industry, set up to work entirely online, on-demand, and comes with a beautiful, personalized PDF report with clear next steps. Youth Ministry clients get steep discounts on our already affordable assessment.

I have been obsessed with charisms since I was 17 years old, which is also when I first discovered how little there was available to learn about charisms. I have spent the last 17 years learning about charisms through the writings of the Popes, the Catechism, early Church fathers, and the lives of the saints, as well as the instruction of the Holy Spirit through the hundreds of people He has graciously allowed me to accompany in one-on-one charism discernment.
I am humbled to get to create these charism discernment resources for a new generation of Catholics alongside my amazing team. I hope that these resources minister to your heart and help reveal where the Holy Spirit is calling you to further build the Church.
