#1 Gift, Teaching (96%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I love learning. Having been misinformed in my past, it is important to me that I understand, and share, the truth as God says, not as man interprets. However, I do also use the lens of my experience with God to understand as well. In addition, I use the lens of observation through my time in CR to help shape what I believe and share.

#2 Gift, Evangelism (87%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I want to share the good news. “The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.” Timothy Keller

#3 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (84%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have been in dark places ALONE, where no one stepped along side me. Frankly, because I COULD NOT ask for help and reveal my utter weakness. If I can encourage someone with my story, the lessons God has allowed me to learn, then I want to do so.

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

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 teach biblical studies geared towards the divorced, single parents, with real life struggles that are often left out of “Church”.

4. I would write books and blogs to empathize and encourage those who feel/are hurting from divorce, custody issues, past abuse, addiction.

5. I would help others crawl out of the pain I have often found myself in; I would share my story and
