[H]eart

1. I love teaching people how to meditate on the word, be in solitude, and pray with authority.

2. I love teaching people how to treat their wives, how to serve their marriages, and guide young husbands.

3. I love doing things that have a purpose and bring the kingdom of God to Earth. (prayer for healing, bondage breaking, etc)

I love to work with people who want to be taught and who want to be better. Who have a general sense of self-development and self-awareness. I work best with male Millennials and early post-millenials males.

Church issues:
Disrupting comfort and making the Word real.
Ministries:
Teaching men the authority they walk with in Christ.
I have this vision of a ministry that helps people on the side of highways with blown out tires, no gas, dragging exausts, etc. while sharing the Gospel.
Issues that concern me:
People living without awareness of the story that they are born into and their roles.

Marriage/family issues
Financial stewardship
Spiritual laziness

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

There have several “come-to-Jesus” moments in my life. I accepted Jesus at my local church as a young boy (maybe 7 or 8 year old) with the essential Gospel truth that Jesus paid my sin debt. Other moments of growing my relationship with Christ are at big gatherings (BNYC events) , 1-on-1 mentorships from business leaders and spiritual leaders in my life, and when I lived in Honduras for 4 months.

Nothing really involved in a church in a long-term standing. I’ve helped and started several groups revolving around marriage, business, finance.

Honduras: Going to the dump in Tegucigalpa. Didn’t want to go. Couldn’t see how God could move there by us just handing out food. God moved me big time by meeting a Honduran man who spoke english in the dump! He didn’t have a Bible. God told me to tell him to read the words in “rojo” (in red) to all the people at the dump. My spirit was overcome with praise, gratitude, and humility on the bus ride home and I balled like a baby for 30 minutes until I fell asleep.

Feeling the Spirit of God on my wedding day sharing communion with Ashley. It was unlike a feeling I’ve had before. Like a big hug and the most encouraging words and perfect love all wrapped up in one brief moment.

Another powerful experience was after having an affair, learning that most of the people in my life that knew still loved me for me and i didn’t have to be anything else but me to be loved.

An Affair (or anything really where Satan has planted a lie) and that person accepts it as their new reality. My compassion comes in knowing now that that more than likely isnt who that person is or what they want to be doing, they are totally blinded by their new reality because of that planted lie.

My mom and dad’s marriage. and my compassion is for kids whose parents don’t understand their roles spiritually or in marriage and create a poor environment for raising young men and women.

previous porn, gambling, alcohol and substance Addictions. Again, following the same initial planted lie from Satan, i have compassion for people who have addictions as I have learned i am prone to addiction as well.

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. Teaching men who they are and the crucial part of the Kingdom story they have.

4. Serving widows and orphans in any capacity.

5. Teaching other people how to earn passive income so they can live their own focuses and God sized dreams in their lives.
