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

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Came to Christ at 6. Saw his love for me deeply during back surgery at 13.

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

Life Church, McKinney – Group leader, coach, welcome team – one year

CityBridge (Watermark, Plano) – Group leader, coach, men’s team, Re-engage leader – 5 years

Church on Rushcreek, Arlington – Family Pastor overseeing groups, discipleship, all family ministry.

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

1982. Sophomore College – Colorado Springs – Is 43:4 life verse / calling.

1992. Second year on church staff – Albuquerque, NM – Local church is the hope of the world.

2008. Move to FT with Churchteams – Arlington, TX. Business as ministry and serving church broadly.

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:

1973 – Back surgery / fusion. “For those tears I died.”

1992 – Discouraged with church’s ability to make disciples.

2008 – Let go at Church. Move into FT business. Career change and deep uncertainty.

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. Churchteams helps churches more effectively make disciples and build teams.

4. Mentor others through personal, podcast, and authorship.

5. Serve my local community in way that honors and elevates Christ.
