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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up in church. However I was a lukewarm christian until a friend invited me to her youth group. There I rededicated my life to Christ.

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

Heights Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Albuquerque, NM, Youth Leader 2012-2013

The Orchard, Arlington, VA, Worship Minister 2014-2016

Grace Community Church, Arlington, VA Youth Worship Associate, 2018-Present

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

My Father, Lloyd

My Deputy Commander in Civil Air Patrol, Captain Lloyd Voights

My overall experience in Civil Air Patrol (2007-2011)

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:

Failure in school

Struggling in my first worship ministry job, which revealed weaknesses in my own character.

The various times people have told me that I need to work on things in music, either vocally or with guitar. Or even better the times that I’ve been told I cannot do something, because then I strive within reason to do it and do it 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. I would want to serve in a church where there is no robust worship arts program, and build that up.

4. I would want to serve churches seeking to grow their creative ministry through consulting

5. I would develop a collective of songwriters/musicians to produce meaningful and spirit filled songs for the church.
