Which piece of the Armor of God do you need most?
Eight honest questions. No right answers. At the end you get the piece of Ephesians 6 that fits your season, the verse, what it means in plain words, and a seven-day plan to put it on.
The piece you need most right now
Ephesians 6:14-17 names six pieces of the Armor of God: the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, shoes of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Most men need one of them more than the others at any given time.
Want to put it on every day?
This quiz comes from the makers of FORGED: Daily Bible for Men, a 90-day Bible plan and Christian devotional for men. According to its App Store listing, each day takes about ten minutes:
- BODY: one practical challenge, with gentle and mobility options
- MIND: one Scripture passage explained in plain English, plus one action for the day
- SPIRIT: a 3, 5 or 10-minute prayer timer that dims the screen
- Armor of God milestones from Ephesians 6 as you progress: the Belt of Truth at Day 7, the Shield of Faith at Day 35, the Sword of the Spirit at Day 90
- Day 1, Bible Basics and the glossary are free; no account needed
How to use your result with other men
In a men's group, have everyone take the quiz before you meet, then go round the table: which piece, and why does it fit right now? It opens up honest conversation faster than most icebreakers.
On your own, do the seven days in order. They are deliberately small. A man who does seven small things in a row has done more than a man who plans one big thing.
As a father, walk your kids through Ephesians 6 using the six pieces. Ask them which one they think they would need at school.
The six pieces at a glance
Belt of truth: living with nothing to hide. Breastplate of righteousness: standing in grace instead of guilt. Shoes of peace: carrying peace into conflict. Shield of faith: answering fear with what God has said. Helmet of salvation: guarding your thoughts. Sword of the Spirit: knowing and using the word of God. Paul wrote this from prison, likely chained to a Roman guard, so the picture was right in front of him.
Questions
Is there a right or wrong result?
No. Every man needs all six pieces. The quiz only points to the one that fits your answers today. Take it again next month and it may change.
Which Bible translation do you quote?
The World English Bible, a modern translation in the public domain. That is why the belt reads as a “utility belt” of truth; other translations simply say “belt”.
Is anything I answer saved?
No. Your answers stay in your browser and disappear when you leave. The only thing in a shared link is the name of your result.
