So you think you're Olive?
An Olive's words anoint like oil; thick & weighty when aligned.- → Do you sense God's presence through feelings & sensations?
- → Think of Moses and the Burning Bush. It is the sense of feeling of how he KNEW God as not in the other distractions.
- "Immersed in the Holy Spirit like a warm jacuzzi!"
- → Do you struggle with being vulnerable and desire to stay at the surface level making sure everyone is having a good day?
- → Do you desire to be truly seen, but feel when you show your true depth you fear your presence will be rejected?
- → Do you feel when to give positive influence to transform lives with perfectly timed words of knowledge?
On a bad day, do you feel misunderstood? Burned out?
Oh, modern-day Moses, I see you. From the depths of your feelings, the height of your spirit's connection.
You have been chased away, silenced, and shamed into isolation by the church. I say, "No more!".
The hardships you've walked through are unparalleled. Like Moses at the burning bush, you knew that place was Holy and removed your shoes. This is not seen as a command, but as deep knowing to remove barriers between you and God's POWER OF PRESENCE. Moses didn't do it alone, and neither do you.
The time is now. THIS is your Jethro moment in the wilderness, the blueprint of life designed specifically for the Olive heart. We want you set free. The first step was identifying your heart type, now it is time to get you set free from the weights holding you down and release increasing favor with God and with man into your life. This is what Ipseity Approach™ looks like for Olive hearts.
Yes, the Olive's Quest is written specifically for Olive's sensory heart with dedication towards capturing your sensational spirit-spirit connections with God and others.
1. What Makes Olive Different?
Olives are designed for authentic encouragement and bringing hope that transforms lives. You see potential in people and can motivate others to reach their God-given destiny through genuine inspiration. Your heart carries the capacity for deep encouragement, restoration, and creating environments where people experience authentic growth and breakthrough.
2. Why Do I Avoid Difficult Conversations?
Olives are designed for restoration environments that value authentic depth over surface harmony. When you're pressured to maintain constant positivity or avoid necessary challenges, your encouragement gift becomes shallow affirmation instead of transformational hope. You need contexts that appreciate both encouragement AND truth-telling for genuine growth.
3. Why Do People Misunderstand My Good Heart?
Your genuine desire to encourage gets misunderstood when you avoid the deeper conversations people actually need. While your heart truly wants to help, staying at surface-level positivity can leave others feeling unheard in their struggles. The difference between encouragement that transforms and encouragement that feels shallow is whether you're willing to engage with difficult realities alongside the hope. Healed Olives bring authentic encouragement that includes appropriate challenges, meeting people where they truly are rather than where it's comfortable to engage.
4. Why Can't I Find My Calling?
Living stuck from misaligned patterns keep you either people-pleasing for approval or avoiding depth that makes others uncomfortable. You end up in cheerleader roles, surface motivational positions, or relationships where you're valued only for positivity. Heart healing must come first before you can step into true Olive transformational encouragement and deep influence.
5. Why do Results Keep Changing?
Head/heart conflict prevents accurate self-assessment. When your heart carries unhealed patterns, you cannot accurately assess your encouragement gifts. Assessment results keep changing because you're trying to identify your design while operating under either surface positivity or depth avoidance patterns.

Olive Tree Archetype
Sensory Connections; A Spirit-to-Spirit knowing and communication pathway with God and Others.
GREATEST FRUSTRATION
Inauthenticity
Being labeled 'shallow' or 'too positive' when your heart is genuine. Others questioning your intentions or not seeing the depth you carry.
SOFT SPOT
Deep Truths Lasting Joy
Others receive authentic encouragement and encounter God through your presence. Seeing hearts transform through spirit-to-spirit connection brings you lasting joy.
The deep feelings, spirit-to-spirit connections you have with GOD and with others is unsurpassed. You can soar to the highest heights in dreams, visions with the Holy Spirit and can reach the deepest depths. Your presence carries power, like the 4th day of creation with the sun, moon and stars to govern the night and the day. This powerful presence however is your double edge sword. When you seek legitimacy through your presence with people, that presence becomes false light. But when your spirit meets God's deep presence and structure, your true legitimacy emerges. This is the true power of the presence of God that lights up and changes the World.
We so desperately need our Olives healed and speaking into the body of Christ.
It is time.
Yes, the Ecclesia so desperately needs it's Moseses to ignite with power. You all have been chased away, silenced and shamed. You are wounded and suffering. Like Moses, who listened to the Spirit to call him from the wilderness, you came when the Holy Spirit called out and met with your spirit. Your presence is needed, but in a healed fashion. Many Olives believe they cannot understand Scripture for themselves, seeking legitimacy through what others teach rather than encountering God's Word directly. This false belief keeps you dependent on others' approval instead of receiving divine revelation spirit-to-spirit.
While God and Moses were so close, constantly meeting face to face, Moses still did actions that had consequences. At the end of his life, he did something that would forever seal his fate to NOT ENTER THE PROMISED LAND... he HIT the rock. His heart while for God, like I know yours too, Moses missed it. My heart and desire is to reach Olives, our dear Moseses that they are able to heal their hearts, to go deep with their transformation, and when tempted they do not "hit their rock".
A critical vow to avoid: 'I will never trust authority again.' This vow opens the door to dishonor patterns that destroy the very legitimacy you are seeking. If you have made this vow, simply repent and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you to release this lie. This is the type of depth that we cover in our program, simple lies revealed in the Word and through Holy Spirit revealing patterns or cycles to break free from. This is a structure created in the form of Jethro's teaching to give you a road map to warfare; Your Quest to Your Authentic Self designed specifically for your tender Olive's heart.

OLIVE'S DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD
PRESENCE
Shadow Self
Surface-level Positivity
Even when I am struggling, I do my best to keep things positive and to help others have a good day. I will avoid topics that I believe will cause others distress, taking it upon myself to keep the peace and not confront. I don’t see this as avoidance, but keeping things light helps everyone have a better day.
I feel deeply and sometimes get carried away by the range of emotions I feel. I can get tempted to escape these deep feelings through destructive behavior.
I get hurt and get very defensive when others bring up vulnerable topics and usually will withdraw or react strongly to protect myself. I see this as them being argumentative and deeply wounding.
Authentic Self
Deep Truths Lasting Joy
I bring the positive power of truth with hope to authentically encourage others. I am a safe place. I can embrace the wide range of emotions as a blessing, as they nourish me. I don’t need to numb or escape them nor let them be in control.
I can release a word that is so timely that it goes to the very depth of the person I am speaking with. When I feel my true heart is being seen and my encouragement received, it can fill me for days with overflowing joy.
I am able to engage into conversations that are more vulnerable and walk more of a reality. I can drop the mask of having to generate positivity to protect my heart.
An introduction to the
Ipseity Approach™
Most people cannot accurately identify their true personality types. There are two reasons for this:
1. We've been Hijacked - Our world truly as been hijacked by the enemy and his mission is to steal, kill and destroy. He does this by destroying relational connections and trauma and convincing us to carry baggage that are not ours to carry. These hijack our ability to make accurate self-assessments, even sometimes of our heart type. Dynamics of negative cycles create head/heart conflicts that affect how we interact with ourselves, God and the World around us.
2. Disconnect from our heart - We live in a head ruled word. We have to get to the heart of the matter, before we can truly understand how we interact with our entire being to God and others. Our heart is deceitful means truly that our heart is sick, and in need of help from our Saviour Jesus Christ to understand how to walk with a heart of flesh, instead of desiring to go back to the heart of stone.

After 20 years of research and development, Ipseity Approach™ is the only heart-first, Biblical framework for identity and transformation. Founded by JoElle Muranaka Orn, this approach starts with God's Order: to Love the Lord our God with all our Heart FIRST, then mind, body, and soul.
Unlike personality systems that begin with cognitive analysis, Ipseity Approach™ recognizes that accurate self-assessment is impossible when your heart is stuck in wounded cycles. Once the generational strongholds and wounds of the heart (Layer 1, Stage 2 of the matrix) are healed, you are empowered with a clear path to revealing your entire Identity Matrix of Heart, Mind, Body and Soul. Let's make this YOUR LAST YEAR STUCK!
Our methodology is rooted in Scripture and Principles of Biblical Warfare. Ipseity Approach™ brings together the best from Heart, Mind, Body and Soul research, distilling over 2,000 data points into just FOUR manageable layers. We've done the work for you. Now let us help you identify your tree name (inspired by Isaiah 41:19) to reveal your Biblical Heart Identity. Each Heart-Tree Archetype reveals how God uniquely designed you to navigate this world, and with a Healed Heart, discover your calling to impact His Kingdom. This isn't trendy psychology, it's established Christian heritage applied to modern identity challenges.

A Pine who didn’t want to be shoved in the ‘giver box’ but was excited to discover how their Pine heart grows and provides not only finances but also wisdom strategically.
