Domains of Discipline
You don't have to be in crisis to be off course.
A compass that’s one degree off still works. It gives you a reading; it keeps you moving. The problem doesn’t show up at the trailhead. It shows up later, when nothing around you looks like where you meant to go.
This free workbook walks you through five God-given domains of a man’s life — body, sexuality, parenting, work, and spiritual leadership — with honest evaluation questions and a real process for getting your heading back under God’s authority.
What You'll Find Inside
An Honest Audit, Not Another Quiz
Domains of Discipline gives you a structured way to see exactly where your life is rightly ordered and where you’ve quietly drifted.
- Five God-Given Domains drawn straight from Genesis — body and presence, sexuality and relationships, parenting and legacy, work and money, and spiritual leadership.
- Honest Evaluation Questions for every domain, specific enough to be uncomfortable and useful enough to act on.
- A Real Goal-Setting Process so you walk away with one or two concrete places to grow, not a vague resolution.
- A Step-by-Step Execution Plan for putting that goal into motion, domain by domain.
- The Discipline Principle behind lasting change. Why right desires create right disciplines, and right disciplines create right desires.
- A Framework You Can Return To, again and again, as your heading drifts and needs resetting.
This isn’t about feeling worse about yourself. It’s your working document for getting back under the authority that was always meant to orient you.
The Framework
Five Domains, Straight From Genesis
Before the fall, God gave Adam five areas of responsibility. They’re still the five areas every man is stewarding right now — whether he’s named them or not. For each one, you’ll evaluate, set a goal, and build a real process for getting there.
I.
Image & Likeness
Body & Presence
Physically healthy, emotionally honest, steady to be around.
II.
Male & Female
Sexuality & Relationships
Sexual integrity and romantic faithfulness, single or married.
III.
Fruitful & Multiply
Parenting & Legacy
Raising the next generation deliberately, starting with your own.
IV.
Subdue & Dominion
Work & Money
Honest work and stewarding money as God’s, not yours.
V.
Work & Keep
Spiritual Leadership
Serving and protecting what God’s entrusted to you.
What This Actually Looks Like
An Oriented Man Isn't Perfect. He's Specific.
This isn’t about feeling better. It’s about concrete, visible markers. The kind other people notice before you do.
- His word on small things is reliable. People stop double-checking him.
- He lives on a written budget and carries no hidden consumer debt.
- He's at church, engaged and serving, not just consuming.
- He has visible, repeated disciplines that actually cost him something.
- He gives generously and first, before the rest of his spending happens.
- His reputation among non-Christian neighbors and coworkers is good.
A short sample. The full audit goes domain by domain, in detail, in the workbook.
