Those that can take criticism and who are forgiving of my mistakes. From 12 to 45 and those that love music and the other technical aspects of music.

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

Excite: growing youth ministry in worship and how I can be apart and encourage and mold those interested. Concern: Need to fill other roles in the church because they can not be filled and take my attention away from those areas that I enjoy and feel called to.

Your Primary was ‘The Retriever’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, 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

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

Felt the Lord telling me I was missing something in my life, which was Him. So decided to give my life to Him and His calling.

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

Compass Christian Church CV: 2011-2017- Musician Director and Admin

Compass Christian Church CV/NRH: 2017-present- Worship leader/pastor

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

Getting to play and sing on a weekly basis for so long. Reminded me of God’s provision and goodness to us.

Leading and playing with old and new friends for so long. This given opportunities outside of Compass to play.

Meet my wife doing and leading worship. And get to continue to do that now.

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:

Lack of recognition for what I would do. I try to always make my self less focal and help others around me stand out.

Distrust in those that you thought you could trust. I try to always keep my word and follow through.

Just messing up on stage in front of people and your peers. Caused me to relax because everyone messes up but also try harder at my craft.

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. Travel and expericence God outside of the church walls and in other countries.

4. Write and work on music for the church but also music that can push those that aren’t in the church to God, but also to church.

5. Study theology and possibly get a degree in that.
