Your Primary was ‘The Retriever’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

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

I went to see Passion of the Christ with a friend and his mother. I prayed that night and accepted Christ after seeing what he went through for me. I was 16

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

2nd/3rd grade and 4th/5th grade ministries at Crist community Church in Carmichael Ca

4th/5th grade ministries at North coast Church in Vista CA

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

Helping in youth ministry. Helping a troubled boy who was abused by his father. His mother told me how thankful she was for me to be at that church at that time.

Meeting my best friend who is a Christian man that has mentored me

Seeing others leave a life of sin for a life in Christ

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 best friend and my father both died the same year. They were both incoherent when I shared the gospel with them and I realize now that there is no time to wait.

I went through a divorce and it open my eyes to the importance of marriage God’s way

My brother told me he was bisexual and is living a crazy lifestyle. I used to argue with him about God and politics. I went about it the wrong way. Trying to force him to believe. Gods showed me how to love him and how not to preach and we still have a relationship despite our differences

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)?

2. My Relationship with Others

Putting Your Spouse First
Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those

3. Missions on other countries: building homes, farming, fighting against humgerand ministering.
