The Christian SAGE™ is a faith-integrated stewardship assessment that identifies four primary financial drivers — Security, Advancement, Generosity, and Ease. While Christian DISC® explores personality wiring, Christian SAGE explores stewardship instinct — how we most naturally relate to money, provision, growth, generosity, and financial stress.

The model behind Christian SAGE is designed not merely to categorize behavior, but to reveal the heart behind financial decisions. Money is never just about numbers; it reflects trust, fear, faith, control, gratitude, and surrender. By integrating biblical wisdom, spiritual formation, and practical stewardship insight, Christian SAGE helps individuals understand both themselves and others in a deeper way.

Compared to traditional financial profiles, the four SAGE drivers are easier to grasp as a whole and are designed to work alongside Christian DISC. Together, these frameworks provide a more complete picture — revealing both how we are wired and how we steward what God has entrusted to us.

Christian SAGE places special emphasis on spiritual growth, relational understanding, and the formation of wise, faithful stewards under Christ’s lordship.
