    1. Has an undiluted devotion to Jesus.

    2. Pursues a biblically informed view of the world.

    5. Builds healthy human relationships.

    6. Knows how to engage the larger world.

    7. Senses a personal "call" and unique competencies.

    9. Appreciates that suffering is part of faithfulness to Jesus.

    10. Is eager and ready to express the content of his faith.

    11. Overflows with thankfulness.
