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

I was born, baptised, and raised as an active member of the Catholic Church. My wife, however, is Methodist and since our wedding I’ve found myself slowly becoming more and more motivated to be an active disciple of Christ, not just a “practicing member of the church” which is an important distinction. So to sum up, I became an “all-in” Christian gradually over the last few years thanks to my loving wife’s inspiration.

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

United States Air Force Academy Catholic Cadet Chapel, Colorado Springs, CO, Tenor in the Catholic Cadet Choir, 4 years

Laughlin AFB Catholic Church, Laughlin AFB, TX, Catholic choir member/music leader, 1.5 years

Bradfield Rougham Baptist Church, United Kingdom, Bass/guitar in the praise band, 2 years

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

Marrying my wife

Becoming a pilot

Living in the UK

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:

Death of many extended family members at a young age

Having marital troubles due to misprioritization

Being uprooted frequently as a child due to being in a military family (this is good and bad I guess)

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. Be an established leader of the church music ministry

4. Be a teen/youth mentor in the Church
