Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I accepted Christ into my heart at a very young age, but strayed from the faith during my teenage years and early 20’s and engaged in very in-Christian-like behavior. I found that worldly distractions were empty, and I came back to Jesus.

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

I am serving as a community group leader at PV. I have been doing this since August 2017. Otherwise, I do not have any ministry experience.

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

Meeting my wife.

Being a father / raising children.

Being in the Army.

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

My past troubles with violating the law and getting caught.

Being deployed for the Iraq War.

Having a family member suffer sexual abuse.

Wrapping It Up

The Challenge: Based upon your S.H.A.P.E. Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

1. My Relationship with GOD

2. My Relationship with Others

Putting Your Spouse First
Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those

3. I would start a non-profit company called “Blood & Thunder” that helps troubled teens.

4. I would home school my kids and take them on trips all over the world as part of their education.

5. I would organize a church ministry event called “Jesus Day” where churches from all ethnic backgrounds would come together to worship and show solidarity in Christ. The first event would be at Liberty Memorial. Then I would export it to other cities in the United States. The Goodyear blimp would fly overhead. And non-Christians would see us a role-models.
