The Assessment is just the beginning of your charism journey...
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 desire to serve the Church at every level, making charism discernment approachable and attainable for all baptized Catholics.

How effective would a company be where only about 5% of people knew their job description? Not very. And yet this is what we see in the Church right now. With over 150 episodes of quick, clear answers, Charisms for Catholics helps you identify, value, and invest in where the Holy Spirit is moving in your life through your charisms.
This detailed book will walk you through the process of charism discernment, as well as teach you about hearing God’s voice in prayer, understanding where you are at in your identity development, and praying with the Saints for a better understanding of how God is equipping you to also be a Saint.
Including workbook pages, novenas, exercises, timelines, guidelines, and more, this book is among the very best resources to help any faithful Catholic learn about and discern their charisms. This book is also group friendly, and includes sample discernment timelines for Advent and Lenten study.
Many Catholics desire to live their faith well, but many don’t know how to do that - not because they don't know or love their faith enough, but because they have never put language to the specific role they are being asked to play within the Church. Enter charisms: the personal, supernatural graces you receive to build the Church in the unique way only you can.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church says that "discernment of charisms is always necessary" and that "no charism is exempt from submission to the Church," but there has never been a comprehensive guide on how to do this (CCC 801).
This practical book not only explains charisms and answers many frequently asked questions but also walks with you through the testing and post-discernment phases of the charism process. Through short, actionable, and easy-to-read chapters on each charism, you'll grow in your knowledge of them and be prepared to use and troubleshoot them as you grow in service and intimacy with God.
The Essential Handbook on Living Your Charisms is a well written, and well organized book that does an excellent job helping Catholics to understand their charisms. It explains what charisms are, deep dives into each charism, and ends with a discussion on the possibility of burn out when it comes to charisms. I have never come across anything like this before, and it is such a blessing as I further discern my charisms. I will return to this book again and again.
I pre-ordered this from the Many Parts Ministries website, and I'm so glad I did! It's an invaluable companion for both discerning charisms and living them out! It has clear explanations for what each charism is and isn't, as well as plenty of ideas on how to explore them at every level. I also really appreciate that it includes caveats/pitfalls to look out for, and tells us how to overcome them! It's very much rooted in Scripture and prayer, and the fact that it has an imprimatur gives me confidence in what it teaches.
Only charism book available! How are there not more books that deal with Charisms? If you go online and try to search for more information the most you will find are some online courses but I want a book that I can annotate and reference back to time and time again. This book is exactly what I was needing to motivate me to follow through on the discovery process for my individual charisms.

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.
