[H]eart

1. I enjoy and love having people over and cooking them a meal and connecting on deeper levels.

2. I love leading others into a space of worship through music.

3. I enjoy writing music with biblical and encouraging truths that explores the realities of our struggles as we work out our faith and sharing it publicly.

Creative people who are able and eager to help guide me. The age doesn’t much matter to me if they are peers, older, or younger- it’s more where they are at spiritually and how well they can impart practical skills to know God more in a compassionate way.

I enjoy serving on our worship team the most, but love helping support leaders in anything they need to be more effective in their gifting.

Leader

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

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

[E]xperience

I came from a very broken and abusive home, so I was always drawn to people who could kind of parent and guide me. As a middle schooler I met a neighbor and became very close with his mom who was a believer. She helped me understand what it was to live out faith. I grew up Catholic, so I had knowledge of God, but no real guidance on how to really live out that knowledge until Susan Voight helped explain and show me how it could look.

I’ve served on worship teams for over 20 years- I’ve helped at Elmbrook Church, Countryside Community Church (now Whitestone,) Mad City Church, Cornerstone Church, Brew City Church, Damascus Road, and Crosspoint Community Church.

High school ministry under Steve Argue shaped me a lot as a teenager.

Going through a two year Discipleship and Bible intensive through Mad City Church.

Living with my foster parents and being guided on how a pretty normal family runs.

Growing up in a home with a mom with untreated BiPolar 2 Disorder and a dad who was an alcoholic and drug addict made for a neglectful and abusive home life.

Being diagnosed with BiPolar 2 Disorder at age 20 and learning how to manage it and lead a stable and fulfilling life.

Losing two newborns shortly after their births.

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. Sharing what God has done in my life through music and testimony to groups of people inside or outside the church.

4. Using our business to advance kingdom values through film that would have a positive impact on culture.

5. Learning how to become a better worship leader and stepping into that regularly.
