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

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

I have been raised in a Christian home, and was saved at the age of 9. Since then, God has built a desire in me to live my life for Him. I have a passion for people who are in need, both spiritually and physically.

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

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

Radical: Denver Moyers and I, with some friends, started a youth-led church called Radical in 9th grade. That was a time of huge growth for me in my relationship with God and with other christians.

Honduras: Travelling to Honduras on mission trips has made a greater impact on me than anything else in my life. It has made me realize what my passion really is.

Work: Working at Ox-Ford Farm has been incredibly challenging, for many reasons. However, I love the job, and the challenge has helped me grow in many areas of my life.

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:

Church split: When NP split several years ago, it was hard for everyone, but it was what got me involved with the A/V team, and that gave me a place in the church at an early age.

Youth: The first real youth pastor I ever had was Ryan Nash. He was a good guy, but the whole thing ended badly. It did bring the youth group closer than we had ever been, but it was hard for us.

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. I would be a missionary in a foreign country.
