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

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was one of those lukewarm people that Revelations 3:16 talks about. I thought that something else was the most important thing in my life until it was taken away from me. Then I made Jesus the most important thing in my life.

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

The Citadel – College in Charleston, SC. head usher, Battalion Religious Officer

Big Sur House Church in Dayton, OH. helped with logistics and setup

Transit Church in Alexandria, VA. Help with set up and tear down.

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

Mentoring from the Chaplain at College

Being a part of a close Christian family in Dayton, OH

Holding a leadership role in the Church at the Citadel

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:

God has shown me that idols will fail. This is closely connected to my military experience.

My process of getting out of the military and learning about myself while relying on God (long story)

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. Teaching Biblical wisdom that would help people to understand the Bible. That means helping Christians develop and grow their relationship with God and helping the Holy Spirit bring non-believers to Christ.

4. Run operations for a ministry that helps the community around me

5. Spend time investing in friendships more
