Covenant Formation Intensive™ — Self-Directed Workbook
A comprehensive assessment of your covenant formation — and a specific 90-day plan to build what the assessment reveals.
Most formation experiences give you principles and ask you to apply them. This intensive asks something more demanding: an honest examination of the full architecture of your own formation — not principle by principle, but as an integrated whole. Where genuine change has happened. Where it only looks like it has. Where the work is still pending — and where the underdevelopment of one pillar is quietly limiting the expression of another.
What you build here is not a general intention to grow. It is a specific, structured, signed commitment to the next chapter of formation your assessment reveals is most needed.
This self-directed workbook gives you the full intensive — all four modules, the nine-dimension Covenant Formation Profile, and the complete 90-Day Formation Plan — at your own pace, in your own space, without a live session or facilitator.
Write for the person you actually are — not the formation leader you aspire to be. That honesty is the practice.
What's Inside:
Four complete modules with all reflection questions, Formation Practices and pacing suggestions:
Three Pillars Review Write what each pillar means to you in your own words — prime the assessment with your actual current understanding, not the aspirational version
Module 1 — Formation Foundations · What genuine formation is — and what information, performance, and self-improvement are instead · Three markers that distinguish formation from its alternatives: changes the default, observable in ordinary contexts, persists through difficulty · Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:18 · The Formation Audit exercise · Suggested 45–60 minutes
Module 2 — The Three Pillars Under Pressure · How each pillar is specifically tested by relational track and season · What pressure reveals that calm conditions conceal · What was confirmed as genuinely formed through testing — and what was exposed as incomplete · Scripture: 1 Peter 1:7 · The Pressure Map exercise
Module 3 — The Integration Map · Six cross-pillar interactions and how underdevelopment in one limits expression in another · Your primary cross-pillar dynamic — the most practically precise element of the intensive · Scripture: Ephesians 3:17–18 · The Integration Mapping exercise
Module 4 — The 90-Day Formation Plan · Built directly from your Profile and Integration Assessment · The Covenant Formation Profile — nine dimensions rated by actual evidence from your relationships, not aspirational self-assessment · The 90-Day Covenant Formation Plan — named daily and weekly practices, accountability partner, Day 45 and Day 90 progress markers, and the cross-pillar gain the plan is expected to unlock · Signed and dated · Scripture: Philippians 3:14
Personal Integration Section · Closing prayer · Ecosystem pathway organized by pillar
Three flexible pacing options: single extended session (3–4 hours), four separate sittings on consecutive days, or two sessions. Every Formation Practice includes a trusted companion option — the Profile and 90-Day Plan are specifically strengthened by an accountability partner who will hold you to what you signed.
Who This Is For: Participants who have completed multiple Mantled for Marriage™ workshops and are ready to integrate what they have built into a coherent formation plan. Ministry leaders, coaches, and facilitators building formation capacity for their own practice. Individuals in significant relational seasons who want the most thorough formation framework available. Those ready for the comprehensive question: What is the full shape of my covenant formation — and what is the specific next chapter of work?
This is not an introductory workbook. It assumes formation ground has already been covered. It rewards that experience with the most precise formation diagnostic in the series.
