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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

When I was 13 years of age we attended a small country church. They held a Halloween alternative event/a fall festival. There I heard the testimony of one of the Allman Brothers that lived here in Daytona Beach… He spoke of forgiveness and a new beginning and a savior that loved us more than anyone on earth. All of that was intriguing to me… And especially the facet that a father figure existed for me even though my natural father did not. I prayed the salvation prayer I asked for forgiveness and for a new beginning and I asked God the father to be my father.

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

Rivercrest church Daytona Beach: youth pastor, Sunday school teacher, Prayer Team (10 years)

Salty Church: Prayer Team, life group leader, missions director (7 / 10 years to present).

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

My mother steadfast faith in seasons of trial and immense difficulty

The selfless unconditional love of my grandparents towards me and those in their community

Visiting South Korea and praying on prayer mountain at the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea: and meeting with and worshiping with the leader ship of Dr. Paul Yongi Cho’s church in Seoul Korea.

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:

Being fatherless.

Seeing The wisdom, mercy and discernment that my mother possessed and yet seeing her be overlooked in religious affiliations.

Watching Young people question their sexual identities And being excluded from godly churches/activities… Whether intentional or by they are feeling disqualified.

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 travel the world visiting churches seeing how believers worship Christ and how Christ speaks to them and work with them in their communities as the Lord directs them indigenously.

4. I would love to form an organization that uses arts in warship… And travel universities around the globe attracting and connecting artists and worshipers… And see what comes of it

5. I would on my own gallery and art studio and make pottery… And find ways to use it as a ministering tool or a way to encourage the body of Christ or those seeking the truth of God
