Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides the reader with an introduction to the definition, nature, and importance of CSLSI and to the growth of Christian sanctification. A summary of the academic literature on spiritual intelligence from a conceptual and empirical focus illustrates the diversity of thought in the field and the absence of mainstream Christian worldview research. The chapter discusses the appropriate perspective and ethos for completing the diagnostic instruments and the journaling process. The underlying orientation is to recognize our inherent dependency on God to supply the power, wisdom, and motivation for genuine transformation. Christians are all works in progress and can improve in all CSLSI dimensions. It is important to reject comparison to others and embrace transparency and honesty to avoid “stealing truth from ourselves.” The chapter concludes with two instruments that measure burnout and work attitudes. The goal is to complete a baseline measure of key indicators of our spiritual health to gauge reader progress.
