Your Primary was ‘The Otter’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God
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
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
[E]xperience
Born into a wonderful Christian home. Accepted Christ at age 7. My parents led me to Christ. I love the local church and have grown up in it. Plan to do the same for my young, growing family.
Cornerstone Baptist Church, Perry, GA, youth pastor, 2000
Cross Point Baptist Church, Perry, GA, pastor, 2001-2013
First Baptist, Cartersville, GA, pastor 2013-present
My parents are wonderful
My home church was wonderful
The city where I was raised (Warner Robins, GA) was wonderful
My wife and I struggled with infertility and a failed adoption.
I have had to make very hard ministry/leadership decisions at a young age.
This isn’t negative, but it can be difficult: I have moved away from family to pastor now, and I also have siblings serving on mission field overseas.
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 love to provide expositional teaching from every verse/section of Scripture before I die.
4. I would love to teach every man at CFBC how to lead his family in worship through his role as husband, dad, and family priest/pastor.
5. I would love to help young preachers and fallen, hurting preachers get healthy and equipped for their local church.
