Quiz Result: The Heavy-Hearted Builder

You're the Heavy-Hearted Builder

This means that a past business disappointment or betrayal still hurts you, and is affecting your ability to make real progress.

Reminders sting; trust feels risky; hope feels costly. Disappointment and grief are often stuffed down in favor of “progress,” but the emotions go underground and affect you from the shadows. You're probably very busy with tasks and projects that seem important but that are ultimately avoiding the one, big, scary thing you need to do to make true traction.

Symptoms Common to the Heavy-Hearted Builder

- A reminder of that past experience gives you a physical sensation (feels like a knife in your chest, your stomach dropping, your throat tightening, an adrenaline rush, etc.)

- You hear yourself say “never again” about a platform, topic or person

- You over-control collaborators—or avoid them altogether

- Projects tied to your hurt keep getting deferred

- You're not sure how to process what happened, so you stuff it and move on with your life

- You keep expectations low so you won’t be disappointed again

How This Affects Your Work & Kingdom Impact

Important projects stall, opportunities wither, and your pipeline cools while you circle the lane that once hurt. Your testimony can’t comfort others when the wound stays unaddressed. I’ve been there; working through an unfinished lament became the catalyst for Own Your Emotions—very few people talk about how to lament in the context of business.

How The Gospel Answers This

God invites honest lament and promises nearness to the brokenhearted. Healing in Christ makes room for wise, gentle re-entry into the work that feels hard and scary—without pretending the pain didn’t happen.

Why a “Put On” Identity

Scripture doesn’t tell us to identify with our weaknesses, but rather to put on what is true of us in Christ. Your quiz result isn’t a label—it’s an invitation to grow, showing you how the Spirit is shaping you beyond your current patterns and into greater faithfulness and freedom.

Your Put On Identity: The Resilient Rebuilder I’m putting off avoidance from unresolved pain. I’m putting on honest lament and gentle re-entry with hope in the God who uses weak things for His kingdom purposes.

Anchoring Statement: God meets me in loss and leads me forward.

Habits:

• I name the grief and pray through it, I do not stuff it.

• I re-enter the hard lane with one courageous and faith-filled step.

• I record evidence of God’s help as I move forward and see Him show up for me.
