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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

My grandmother instilled Christian values in me as a child but I didn’t seek baptism until adulthood after my wife and family brought me back to the church.

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

Worship Team – North Madison Christian Church (5 years?)

Bible study – Church of Christ in Madison and Hanover Methodist

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

Gross Anatomy class – experiencing that there is a difference between a physical person (body) and spirit/soul.

The teachings of Dr. Morter – he broke all the rules and taught religion and spirituality and how it is inseparable from physiology and health.

Marriage and raising stepchildren.

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 father’s unexpected passing.

Delivering food baskets in high school.

Recovering from surgery as a 7th grader

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. Expand my business through an associate and shift my focus to the wellness side of the business.

4. Retire by age 57 but still practice on my terms in a cash-based membership practice.

5. Develop a community to bring in speakers that break the rules and educate people on the congruencies between health, science, and spirtuality/religion.
