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

I grew up in church from birth with 3 other siblings. I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior at the age of 8 and was baptized not long after. I grew up with a single parent, and visited my dad every other weekend and went to church every week with my mom other than the weekends I was with my dad. As I grew up and into the 8th grade, I desired to move in with my dad and away from my mother to play football at Klein Oak and be free from boundaries and rules. Then mid way through my senior year, my dad and I got into a major argument which ended me moving back to Pearland with my mom and Jesus grabbed ahold of my heart and I listened for the first time in a long time. I began attending church again and then was asked to lead a small group for junior high guys. God has continued to stretch me, grow me, break me, and build me back up in his grace and mercies. I am a faithful follower of Jesus and desire to help lead his church to him each and every day.

Crosspoint Church: I would do whatever was needed(lights, take out the trash, snacks, etc.) at The Gate on Sunday nights, Greeter on Sunday morning, Usher Sunday morning, Small Group Leader Sunday night with The Gate, Ministry Leader for AMPD, Minitsry Leader for MOVE and AMPD, Ministry leader for MOVE and community leader for youth pastors in Pearland.

Bryan Shippey seeing in me the ability to do what I am doing to this day and speaking it out loud and discipling me to do so.

Meeting my wife and marrying her. Marriage has taught me a lot about who Jesus is and the relationship that God wants with me.

The birth of my daughter. Since she has been born, my life has been radically change and my heart has been shaken for things that I have never thought about.

The divorce of my parents and growing up with a single parent

The fight with my father my senior year

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. Encourage parents in their ministry with their children, leading a team of group leaders of babies through college

4. Developing Legacy Ranch. A ranch or land locally where fathers can take their kids throughout the year, learn how to shoot a gun & “man” stuff, while discussing the legacy that their father is leaving them. Not the money, but the Christ-like morals and values.

5. Plant a church.
