The Spiritual Misbelief & Renewal Inventory
A free, faith-based spiritual inventory for Christian women
You know God is faithful. So why don’t your first reactions always reflect what you know?
You love God. You know Scripture. From the outside, you may even appear to be doing well.
And still, when the news comes, when the answer does not, or when the silence lasts longer than you expected, something in you responds before what you know has time to steady you.
Something older than the moment.
Somewhere along the way, you may have drawn a conclusion about God.
You never said it out loud. You may not have realized you drew it at all. But it may have been shaping what you expect from Him and how you respond to life ever since it took root.
The Spiritual Misbelief & Renewal Inventory helps you identify the belief that may be operating beneath your reactions and begin returning to what is true.

The conclusions usually sound reasonable. That is what makes them persuasive.
A conclusion about God rarely arrives sounding like false doctrine.
It may sound mature. Careful. Responsible. Humble.
Sometimes, it simply sounds true.
- It feels safer not to hope for too much.
- God feels distant. I probably did something wrong.
- I know He can carry my burdens. I just struggle to leave them there.
- I’ll rest when everything is under control.
- If I can just do all the right things, I can keep God’s favor.
These may not be things you would say in a Bible study.
Some of them may still be beliefs you live from.
You may recognize the reaction without understanding what is driving it.
Perhaps you:
- Carry responsibility as though everything depends on you
- Prepare yourself for disappointment before allowing yourself to hope
- Replay decisions because you are afraid you may have missed God’s direction
- Interpret silence as distance, rejection, or disapproval
- Struggle to expect God’s goodness personally, even though you believe He is good
- Find it easier to explain surrender, peace, or trust than to consistently experience them
- Notice the same fears, reactions, or internal struggles returning despite your efforts to change
The visible reaction is not always the whole story.
There may be a deeper belief beneath it.

God has faithfully revealed His nature and His ways throughout your life. That revelation did not change during your hardest seasons.
In the middle of disappointment, loss, uncertainty, pressure, or prolonged waiting, we can draw a conclusion without consciously deciding to.
Then we begin to expect it to be true.
We respond as though it already is.
Over time, a conclusion that was never fully true can begin to feel more believable than the truth we already know.
That does not necessarily mean your faith is weak.
It does not mean you need to try harder.
It may mean that what you know about God and what you have learned to expect from Him are no longer fully aligned.
Recognition is where renewal begins.
An honest look beneath the reaction.
The Spiritual Misbelief & Renewal Inventory is a free, faith-based spiritual inventory for Christian women.
It is designed to help you identify whether a particular belief about God may be operating beneath a recurring pattern such as fear, striving, disappointment, control, spiritual distance, uncertainty, or difficulty resting.
Not only the behavior you notice, but the belief underneath it.
Your responses are considered together to determine whether one spiritual pattern appears to be operating more strongly than the others.
The goal is to help you distinguish between what you consciously know and what you may have quietly come to expect.
What the SMRI is not
- A personality quiz
- A mental-health assessment
- A clinical diagnostic tool
- A verdict on your faith
- A list of everything wrong with you
Recognizing a belief is not condemnation.
It is an invitation to return—to bring what you have come to expect back into agreement with what God has revealed to be true.
Language for what may have been shaping your responses beneath the surface.
After completing the inventory, your personalized results may include:
- ✦Your leading spiritual pattern, when a clear one is present
- ✦The deeper belief about God connected to that pattern
- ✦How the belief may be influencing your thoughts, expectations, and reactions
- ✦The renewed identity or posture toward which the pattern can be restored
- ✦Strengths and faithful instincts already present within you
- ✦Secondary patterns that may be operating more quietly
- ✦Relevant scriptural truth
- ✦One or two practical places to begin
The goal is not simply to give you a label.
It is to help you understand why a familiar pattern may keep returning and where renewal can begin.
Take the Free Inventory Full personalized results. No cost. No card required.There is no paywall between you and your results.
You will receive your complete personalized results, not a preview designed to make you pay before learning what your responses revealed.
Your results will include your leading pattern when one is clearly present, the belief connected to it, relevant scriptural truth, and a practical place to begin.
Afterward, you may be invited to continue through a guided renewal experience.
That invitation is optional.
Whether you continue or not, you will leave with meaningful language for something you may have carried for years without knowing how to name it.

Learning Strategist and Creator of the Spiritual Misbelief & Renewal Inventory
Why I Created the SMRI
There was a season when something happened that I could not reconcile with what I believed about God.
I knew Scripture. I knew His promises. But my feelings, expectations, and reactions were telling a different story.
That experience forced me to ask a question I had never asked so honestly before:
What do I actually believe about God right now?
What I discovered was not that I had no faith.
It was that conclusions formed through disappointment, loss, and prolonged responsibility were influencing how I experienced God, even when they conflicted with what I consciously knew to be true.
As a learning strategist, I have spent my career studying how beliefs shape the way people understand, respond, and change.
That background helped me recognize something important in my own faith:
Knowing what is true is not always the same as living from it.
I created the SMRI to help women identify the beliefs operating beneath their first reactions, give language to what they may not have known how to name, and begin bringing those beliefs back into agreement with what God has revealed.
For many women, the first response is recognition.
The results have given women language for something they experienced for years but did not know how to name.
You do not have to be falling apart to recognize that something beneath the surface needs attention.
The SMRI may be for you if you:
- Love God and know what Scripture says, but struggle to respond from that truth in difficult moments
- Have noticed the same reactions, fears, or struggles returning despite your efforts to change
- Sense that something deeper may be shaping what you expect from God
- Want to understand why what you know does not always become your first response
- Are willing to look honestly at what may be operating beneath the surface
Many women who take the SMRI are faithful, capable, responsible, and deeply committed to God.
They are not looking for someone to question their faith.
They simply want to understand why what they know to be true does not always feel like what they are living from.
“Search me, God, and know my heart.”
— Psalm 139:23This prayer acknowledges that there may be things operating within us that we cannot clearly see on our own.
That is not weakness.
It is honesty.
You do not need the right words.
You do not need to understand the pattern before you take the inventory.
You only need to be willing to look.
Begin with an honest look at what may be operating beneath what you know.
Recognition is where renewal begins.

How long does the SMRI take?
Most women complete the inventory in less than 10 minutes. It is designed to be completed in one sitting and works best when you answer honestly without overthinking each response.
Are these just generic quiz results?
No. Your responses are considered together to identify the spiritual belief pattern most strongly reflected in them and explain how that belief may be influencing what you expect from God and how you respond to life.
Will this tell me that my faith is weak?
No. The SMRI does not measure the strength or sincerity of your faith.
You can love God, know Scripture, and be deeply committed to Him while still responding from conclusions shaped by disappointment, fear, loss, uncertainty, or years of carrying too much.
The purpose is not to criticize your faith. It is to help you recognize where your lived response may not fully reflect what you consciously know to be true.
Is the SMRI really free?
Yes. There is no cost and no credit card is required.
You will receive your complete personalized results, relevant scriptural truth, and one or two practical places to begin.
Why are you giving the SMRI away for free?
This framework came to me during a season of suffering in which God helped me see the distance between what I knew and what I was actually living from.
It was a gift to me, and offering the SMRI freely is one way I can pass that gift forward.
Do I have to purchase something after receiving my results?
No.
Your results are complete on their own. You may later be invited to continue into a paid guided renewal experience, but there is no obligation to purchase anything.
Is this therapy?
No. The SMRI is a faith-based spiritual inventory.
It is not therapy, counseling, a mental-health assessment, or a clinical diagnostic tool. It should not replace support from a licensed professional when that kind of care is needed.
Is this connected to a particular denomination?
No. The SMRI is grounded in Scripture and historic Christian belief rather than the teachings of one denomination.
Women from a variety of Christian traditions and church backgrounds are welcome.
You have already tried to manage the reaction you can see.
The SMRI gives you an opportunity to look beneath it.
It will not tell you that your faith is weak.
It will not reduce you to a label.
It will help you identify beliefs that may be shaping your responses, and show you were renewal can begin.
In approximately ten honest minutes, you may finally have language for something you have felt for years but did not know how to name.
Recognition is where renewal begins.
