What is the Six Roots Method?

The Six Roots Method is a framework for spiritual and emotional growth created by Elise Uecker. It identifies six roots that shape a healthy life: Abide (connection), Guard (boundaries), Beloved (identity), Arise (courage), Sent (purpose), and Refine (growth). Each root is grounded in Scripture and measured by the Deeply Rooted Assessment.

Is there a free spiritual health assessment I can take online?

Yes. The Deeply Rooted Assessment is a free online spiritual health assessment with 13 multiple-choice questions. It takes about 2 minutes, requires no payment or credit card, and gives you a personalized report ranking six areas of your life: connection, boundaries, identity, courage, purpose, and growth.

How do I know which area of my faith needs growth?

Most people feel stuck without knowing why. The Deeply Rooted Assessment pinpoints it by ranking all six roots from strongest to shallowest, so instead of guessing, you can see exactly which area needs care first and start there with a growth plan built around Scripture and simple practices.

Is the assessment really free?

100% free. No credit card, no hidden fees. You get your full personalized results the moment you finish. We built this to help people, not to sell them something at the end.

Do I need to give my email?

We ask for your email so we can send your results and growth plan. We will never spam you or share your information with anyone. You can unsubscribe anytime with one click.

How long does it actually take?

Most people finish in about 2 minutes. There are 13 questions, all multiple choice. No trick questions, no right or wrong answers. Just be honest and go with your gut.

Is this only for Christians?

The framework is rooted in Scripture, but the six areas (connection, boundaries, identity, courage, purpose, and growth) are universal. People of all backgrounds have found value in understanding where they need to grow.

What if I relate to more than one root?

That's completely normal. Most people do. The assessment doesn't just tell you one root. It shows you all six and ranks them so you can see which areas need the most attention right now and where to start first.

Deeply Rooted Invite

Some things are easier to say out loud.

You have seen your roots. Now come talk about them. A free phone call with Elise, about twenty minutes, no pressure and nothing to buy.

Why a call

A report can show you your roots. A conversation helps you tend them.

Your assessment gave you a picture. Six roots, ranked and named. But a picture cannot ask you a follow up question, and it cannot sit with you in the quiet after you say the true thing for the first time.

That is what this call is for. If picking up the phone feels like a big step, nothing is wrong with you. Most of us have carried heavy things for years without saying them to a single person. You do not need the right words. You only need to show up. "Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you." (Psalm 55:22 ESV)

What happens on the call

You talk. Elise listens.

First, and mostly. No script, no forms, no hurry.
You look at your roots together.

Elise walks through your results with you, from your strongest root to your shallowest, and helps you see what is underneath them.
One next step, not ten.

You will hang up knowing the single most helpful thing you can do this week, with Scripture to stand on while you do it.

Two things this call is not. It is not counseling. Elise is a guide, and if what you are carrying needs a licensed counselor, she will say so plainly and cheer you on toward one. And it is not a sales pitch. There is no offer waiting at the end of it. Just a person who has been where you are, on the other end of the line.

“
I always thought the problem was everyone else. My marriage, my kids, my church. This assessment held up a mirror and I finally saw it was me. Not in a condemning way. In a 'God loves you enough to grow you' way. That changed everything.

Common Questions

Is this counseling?

No. Elise is a guide, not a counselor. If your situation needs licensed care, she will tell you so with love, and the call can still help you figure out where to begin.

Does the call cost anything?

No. It is free and it stays free. We built the assessment and this call to help people. That is the whole reason.

What if I get nervous and want to back out?

Then you would be in good company. Use the reschedule link as many times as you need. The call will keep until you are ready.

You were not meant to figure this out alone. You have already done the brave part by looking at what is underneath. Now say it out loud to someone who understands.
