You're the Plate Spinner
This means you take on too much responsibility, perhaps even avoiding delegation, because you don’t trust it will be done right.
Rest feels unsafe and delegation feels risky. Boundaries blur—you say yes or stay vague to keep people happy—and split priorities tug in opposite directions, so focus ping-pongs week to week.
Symptoms Common to the Plate Spinner
- You say yes fast and regret it later.
- You redo others’ work “to get it right,” often after hours.
- Rest feels unsafe, so your calendar stays packed.
- Your boundaries live in your head, not in writing.
- Two good roles tug you in opposite directions every week.
- “Quick favors” swallow your deep-work blocks.
- Resentment builds because expectations were never clear.
How This Affects Your Work & Kingdom Impact
You become the bottleneck; delivery slows, scope creeps, and burnout rises as you pay with time and energy instead of margin and help. Calendar chaos smothers your best work, policies stay unwritten, and “no” is negotiable—so trust erodes and both things you love get half-presence instead of whole-hearted attention. The multiplication God intends through your work and team can’t happen when your capacity is constantly borrowed.
How The Gospel Answers This
Outcomes aren’t on your shoulders; God is sovereign. You’re free to let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no—serving people better with clear, kind limits. Steward your role, develop others, and rest as an act of trust; your identity comes from Jesus, not from carrying everything.
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 Boundaried Builder I’m putting off carrying it all. I’m putting on clear limits, delegation, and saying “no”.
Anchoring Statement: Saying no to what God isn’t calling me to is saying “yes” to what He is.
Habits:
Clarity creates healthier relationships.
I trust God to use the gifts of others to serve me and my people.
I protect regular blocks for deep, high-impact work.
