Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, 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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Starting from age 9, I wrestled with a fear of death because I didn’t know what would happen. When I was 11, I attended a church camp and was told that Jesus Christ was the way of salvation from death. It was then that I accepted Christ as my personal Savior. However, it wasn’t until age 20 when I began choosing to really know and serve Christ.

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

Lake Ann Camp; Lake Ann, MI; counselor; 1 summer

Harvest Bible Chapel-Davenport; Davenport, IA; Children’s Ministry (1st grade); July 2017-present

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

choosing to attend Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa

attending college outside of my home state

serving as a church camp counselor

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:

growing up without actively involved parents, especially a dad

moving to an entirely new state against my will

living in shame from pornography addiction

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. create (or serve with) a chiropractic/healthcare missionary organization that consistently visits and cares for any particular people group/city/state/country/etc. physically and spiritually

4. create (or serve with) a childcare program for fatherless kids (or kids of uninvolved parents) that provides basic needs and teaches them the Gospel, biblical truths/principles, and practical applications of those truths
