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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

My mom prayed with me with I was 3, because I started asking questions about how I could live with God forever.

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

Melbourne Church of the Nazarene – associate pastor of worship and discipleship

Tavares Church of the Nazarene – associate pastor

Church of the Nazarene – missionary in Costa Rica and El Paso, TX – leadership development and mission coaching

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

Living internationally, learning a new language and ministering in a context where I was the minority significantly altered my compassion and opened my eyes to others in a new way.

Adopting our youngest child has opened my eyes to the unconditional love of God in ways that I could never have imagined.

Growing up in a Christian ministry home gave me visible example of how to live life well in ministry.

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:

My mom’s death gave me an understanding of grief and pain in others that I didn’t before understand.

Difficult work conflicts have provided a backdrop for faith in God and rest in His faithfulness.

Waiting on God, in ministry scenarios and in the adoption process, has helped me to better understand our human desire for control.

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. Serve as a missionary again.

4. Further my education so that I could more effectively teach in whatever setting.
