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

At age 16 I realized that I knew of Jesus, but did not know Him. I realized that I was lost without Him and confessed, repented, and received the free gift of salvation.

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

Trinity Baptist Church, Baumholder, Germany, Deacons, Worship Leader, and Sunday School Teacher

Faith Baptist Church, Kaiserslautern, Germany, Deacon (Chairman), Worship Leader, Small group leader, and Evangelism leader

Stuttgart, Germany, Senior Pastor
The Church on Rush Creek, Associate Pastor
Connect Church, Lead Pastor

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

Meeting and marrying my wife

Leading my wife to become a follower of Jesus Christ

Solid mentorship from several former pastors.

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:

Broken relationship with my father (estranged for 35 + years)

The divorce of my parents due to my dad’s indiscretions. He was a bi-vocational pastor that committed open and blatant and unrepentant adultery.

Personal experience with deep depression

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. Build a new kind of church called Kaleidoscope that includes multiple languages, races, and socio-economic backgrounds that would spread across the U.S. and world.

4. Form a ministry to encourage pastors and their wives in Europe outside of U.S. military bases.
