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

I was a young heart broken man from a break up. When a young Christian man discipled me and help me out of the rut with love and compassion and I gave my life to Christ.

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

Mens Ministry, Food Pantry, Usher,

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

Getting The Book Maximized Manhood from Edwin Louis Cole when I first got saved. It showed me than manhood and Christlikeness are synonymous

Meeting Conrad Banks and his mentorship and guidance over the years . For always providing counsel when I needed and always been my biggest supprter

Meeting the love of my Wife Natalie she has been a major difference maker in my life. She allows me to be free in God and my gifts and supports me 100% in all that I do.

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:

My mother Being addicted to alcohol which allowed me to relate to people with addiction

My father not being there created my passion and hunger to develop men and equip them

Losing my mother helped me identify the need to enjoy life and live it to the fullest with the gifts God gave you

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. To develop my teaching abilities so that they can glorify God whenever I speak.

4. Work on Building Men Up because that is the greatest need for our world

5. Start working on the necessary skills and practices of a Pastor.
