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

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

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 grew up in church. I feel that by the grace of God I accepted him at a young age, but I specifically remember a moment in Bible college, where I felt like I heard the gospel for the first time and it messed me up!

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

Family Life Community Church, Bangor, Pa, Pastor Kids 17 years

Cornerstone, Easton, Pa, Youth Leader, 1 year

Faith Assembly of God, Uniontown, Pa, 3 years

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

Growing up in church there were a lot of things that I experienced and believe and had faith just because I was a kid and thought that this is how life is supposed to be.

At Cornerstone I was given a different perspective of how church is done and how even though it was different from what I was used to it was still very effective.

At Faith Assembly I have been stretched and challenge to be more organized and goal/vision oriented.

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:

Dad left the ministry, parents got divorced…ministry became an idol and a harsh task master.

I felt like I was judged.

Disorganization, lack of clarity on expectations…

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. I would like to be a voice to help shape the way the church thinks theologically as it applies to current events.

4. I would like to plant a church as a part of a network of churches and discover how to do church differently from how it’s been done in the past.

5. I would like to be debt free and able to respond almost reflexively to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
