#1 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (78%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have a natural pull towards people who are having a hard time coping with situations in life. I know what it feels like to feel like a ‘loser’ or an outcast, so in the strength that I have right now, I attempt to lend a helping hand and encouragement where possible.

#2 Gift, Teaching (75%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
My father is a pastor, so I feel like I developed, or possibly have the spiritual gift to understand teachings and explain them in a simpler but wholistic way. Listening to my father write and rehearse sermons are also a way I started to understand how the word was meant to be interpreted and applied.

#3 Gift, Administration (65%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I am a navigator by profession so I feel I am very organized when I need to be. I am great with math and calculations, timing, and prioritizing.

[H]eart

Three things I love to do that bring joy and fulfillment in my life:

1. I love to travel and go to new places, with friends. I love the feeling of fellowship and having around good people.

2. My passion is music. I play 3 instruments and have been doing music production all my life. I enjoy recording and making music on my computer.

3. I love sports and outdoor activities. I love playing football, swimming and trying new sports and activities with friends.

Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

People around my age make me most comfortable, but I also feel like I develop beyond my years when I work with people who are slightly ahead of me in life. I enjoy people who are ‘real’, who make mistakes just like me, and aren’t afraid or too prideful to show their flaws and encourage people just like themselves.

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

People thinking I’m soft or have ‘switched up’ due to my relaxed nature. I have challenges really submerging into the church involvement as it pertains to ministries because I don’t want to be seen holistically as the average ‘church boy’. I appreciate and believe I was made by God to have a demeanor that is of such that you wouldn’t expect me to be a Christian, and I find this allows me access to people that wouldn’t listen to the average ‘church guy’

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

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was born in a Christian family always hearing about God and how he has changed people’s lives but I really got to know Christ from a teen camp named Moorlands. There, I was able to have the gospel broken down to me in a way I could understand, with people my age present who also encouraged me to take the step.

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

Served 2 years on missions on the Logos Hope.
The ship that travels the world spreading the Gospel.

Served as an usher for 1 year at Transformed Life Church
Served as a helper in teens camp for Transformed Life Church

I’ve done music performances for Transformed Life Church

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

Having a loving family who cares about your well-being.

Being able to travel the world and gaining knowledge of different cultures

Being born in a family that never had serious financial problems, allowing me access to things that my parents were not able to have access to when they were my age.

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:

Feeling like the outcast. Feels of being a failure or a ‘loser’

The negative backlash from communities due to being a pastor’s child. The pressure felt from these communities and how they judged me as a person due to that fact.

Having struggled with specific things that would not be pleasing to God, and seeing the negative repercussions of those actions play out in life for many years.
