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

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

9 years old and found my Savior as my pastor presented the Gospel. I was brought up hearing the Good News in church services and Sunday School.

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

Children’s Pastor

pastor

sports coach and referee and sports director

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

I had youth leadership befriend me and support me through my days of opposition.

I had a coach that believed in my and pushed me hard. I saw the value in individual performance and team-work toward a common goal in wrestling.

I starting working after school at 15 and haven’t stopped since.

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:

I made some choices based upon lifestyle that showed me the power of addiction (to anything both positive and negative) can become consuming in a life.

I know what it is to fight to gain trust back with parents or other loved ones.

I know what it is to quit on a sport and wish you could have that choice back more than many things in your life.

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. run a life-changing church that produces disciples

4. I would love to facilitate international compounds of school systems, hospital, and nursing homes to care for the widows and orphans.

5. I would teach new or discouraged pastors and minister to them in their context.
