Routine

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

I grew up in a devout catholic home. Was saved in my early 20’s when we started attending a Christian church after my first son was born.

World Impact. – Advisory Board – Loa Angeles
Approx 2004-2016

World Vision – National Leadership Council -Seattle 2019 – Present. / active in World Vision Honduras
Proverbs 31 Leadership Council 2018- present

RCI – Advisory Board – Ridgeland SC. 2019- Present
Second Helpings – volunteer – 2018- present

My wife. Her steady faithfulness while I was consumed with work

A leader in World Impact who became a close friend and was a great example of a humble servant leader

World Vision Honduras. Spending time in Honduras seeing people in such need but full of joy and faith

I think at times when people are going thru difficult issues Christians can be very judgmental. I pray each day not to have a judgmental or bitter heart

Trying to look beyond the exterior. Sometimes everyone dresses up nice and has a big smile on Sunday. But we all have challenges/ difficulties. Try to have authentic relationships

Be willing to relate to folks “outside my comfort zone”. As an example I get more out of Second Helpings than I give

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

4. Accessibility to the word and discipleship for the masses( I. E Proverbs 31) (

5.
