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 had given up on God for many years. I thought I wasn’t worthy of anything. I have no explanation as to how I got from A to B other than Jesus. In what I consider the darkest times of my life He was stirring my spirit in such a way that with each day, He was drawing me in. In 2011 my sister baptized me and in that moment of surrender, he began a drastic change in my life. 8 years later, I am a completely different person. I am free.

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

Elevation Church – Video Production Team Lead 3 years, Photography Team Lead 1 year

Cove Church – Video Production Team ~ 2 years

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

Encouragement from leaders who called out qualities I couldn’t see in myself.

Seeing the change in others around me.

My sister who prayed diligently for me when I was lost.

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:

Throughout my life I have found myself in oppressive situations that gave me a heart for those rejected by society.

Through rejection God showed me how much he loved me and how to receive his love.

Through anger and disappointment I was given the gift of forgiveness.

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 create videos and works of art that proclaim the gospel in creative, different ways.

4. Tell God-sized stories through video that move people who are far from Christ.

5. Go on tour with an Evangelist and document that experience rather it be a concert tour/conference/or some type of calling
