BrushFires Ministry helps Christians discover and pursue their personal God-given design, equipping them to build up the body of Christ. The BrushFires program will give you a personal life choice compass. We call this your God-given Personal Purpose Statement. Together, we will uncover the conflicts that often surface between your design and the designs of those around you.
BrushFires can help any church uncover their untapped resources in ministry and to discover what The Lord wants to accomplish through their ministry, all the while allowing The Believer to experience fulfillment through pursuing their purpose. We can help solve the 80 / 20 problem in any church. By leading your members to where The Father created them to minister, you get results at the same time your members achieve a level of contentment and purpose they can only experience by allowing The Father to fulfill His agenda through them.
The BrushFires program will reveal the personal demands of how you are designed. These personal demands are your unique set of prerequisites for you to be the best version of you. They reveal the necessary, though often missing, pieces in your life that you need to accomplish your purpose. This is all accomplished through evaluating your Y•M•I Assessment results during your personal Design Discovery Meeting (DDM).

The purpose of the BrushFires Ministry is to edify every Believer who loves Jesus Christ. This ministry is especially impactful for those who have no idea where they fit in The Body of Christ. Have you ever felt like an orphan with no authority to make a difference in your life or in this world? We expose lies and replace them with the truth. The heavenly Father designed you to be victorious in this world. We guide you on a path The Father specifically created for you. A journey to reap the fruit The Father sanctified you to harvest. It's time for you to become who The Father always intended you to be. Now Is The Time! The Time Is Now!
BrushFires Ministry accomplishes this by using the Y•M•I Assessments to reveal how you are designed and how your design influences the direction of your life's goals. The results of these assessments will reveal to you the following:
Learn more about this process and how to get started on the Resources Page. |
How long do the assessments take?
The 3 Basic Assessments can be done in less than 45 minutes. The 3 Advanced Assessments take on average 20 minutes for each assessment.
How soon do I get my results?
Upon completion of each assessment, your results are immediately displayed to you. Once you finalize the assessment results, those results are then emailed to you. Upon completion of all of the assessments, you can arrange a Design Discovery Meeting (DDM) to receive a deep dive into your God Given Design. The Full DDM results in a Purpose Statement, your personal why and how you fit into The Body of Christ.
How do I receive my design and purpose statement?
Our program can be experienced through our personal / group study BrushFires workbook "Discover Your Devine Design", through our BrushFires 8 week Zoom or live classes, through our 2 day FireStorm events or through private coaching. The design comes together upon the completion of each assessment. These results are pulled together through the Assessments Summary Form. Further insight can be arranged through your Design Discovery Meeting (DDM).
How do I know this is accurate?
The assessments are based on the science of psychometrics and 4 decades of practice of Steven Johnson from Strategic People Development. Psychometrics is the study of the mind / soul / personality traits. It focuses in how a person is wired. Other personality assessments focus on behavior, which changes throughout a person's life. These assessments have been measured over the decades with the highest ratings of validity and reliability.
What is a Design Discovery Meeting (DDM) ?
The Design Discovery Meeting process is unlike any other. You will be seen and valued for who you really are based on the answers you gave in your Y•M•I Assessments. It's not uncommon for emotions to come to the surface, because most people go through life without ever feeling seen, understood or valued for who they are. For these reasons and more, we do the DDM evaluations privately.

I am approaching retirement and became concerned about the next chapter of my life (Final Third Life Choices). Through BrushFires Ministries I finally discovered my Life’s Purpose (God Given Personal Purpose Statement). I can now continue my journey knowing how I am to use my special skills and gifts to bring God glory and achieve personal fulfillment.
Jackie M.
My heart is to help the broken, those affected by addiction and or life’s trials, to come to an understanding of the power and love of Christ. I was able to discover my following Personal Purpose Statement as part of the BrushFires Workshop. ‘I must impact others by helping them come to terms with their life experiences, through a structured organization, by reassuring them with patience and empathy.’ The workshop breaks down different traits and allows you to discover your design. It was nice to have it presented in a group setting, then be able to discover my Purpose Statement in a private Design Discovery Meeting (DDM). I would recommend this workshop to anyone wanting to grow as a Believer.
Deb S.
Thank you for the gift and passion you bring to the Body of Christ. These things usually grow through wilderness experiences in our life, acknowledging the difficult road that led you to this wonderful ministry.

Just wanted to jot you this quick note to let you know how much I appreciated you taking the time, passion and care with me. It gave me incredible insight and really illuminated things I didn’t understand. Most of all the way you two work together and minister is really cool! And a blessing! Thanks again!

Thank you for all the time you spent with us helping us to discover our life purpose. Who knows where it will all lead to.

BrushFires Ministry invites you to give our program a quick test drive. Our Spiritual Gifts Assessment is always free. It doesn't give you what our Complete Assessment Package does, but it is a really good first step. Are you gifted in Mercy, Teaching, Serving, Giving, Prophecy, Leading or Exhortation? Take this quick assessment and discover that important aspect of your God Given Design. Enjoy!
The Y•M•I Assessments were created with the permission and support of Steven E. Johnson. You will be benefiting from his life's work. We are grateful for his willingness to trust Y•M•I Assessments to share this with the world.
