Contextualization Scorecard

Purpose

This scorecard helps churches, teams, families, and individuals evaluate how well they are listening to, loving, and living within the culture they are called to reach. Contextualization is incarnation — making the gospel visible and understandable through humility, presence, and grace.

Use Section 1 for personal coaching, spiritual direction, or discipleship. Use Section 2 with staff, leadership teams, or mission planners.

What small shift could help me live more contextually this week?
Who have I seen embody Jesus well in our shared culture, and how can I celebrate that?

Where did I live the gospel clearly — and where did I retreat or rush?
