[H]eart

1. I love doing day-to-day life with my wife, whether it be walking our dog at the park, trying out a new restaurant, designing our home, or planning a vacation.

2. Participating in fellowship and meaningful friendship with like-minded men that share my faith and/or values. Growing together and helping each other through life.

3. Physical activity and outdoors recreation, such as lifting weights, hiking, running with my dog, or exploring nature

Talented, interesting, curious, and mission-driven people. People that are well-rounded and lead from their values. People who live with purpose and passion.

I’m excited by a church that puts its faith into action. A church that balances truth and grace. A church that priorities relationships and community. A church that teaches spiritual formation.

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

Meeting and experiencing men who lived with excellence and performed work that I aspired to, but that also lived out of a character of peace, hope, and love that attracted me to know God more personally – I wanted what they had! They taught me about generosity, forgiveness, and most of all God’s grace through faith in Jesus.

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)?

2. My Relationship with Others

• Your Kids Second
• Everyone Else After those

3. Teaching and helping others become more and do more
