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

I grew up in a Christian home and always had a person relationship with Christ. In middle school I began struggling with depression and by the time I was in high school I had started resorting to self harm. When I was about 15 I tried committing suicide. I feel like there have been several times since then that Christ had made a huge impact in my life to draw me back to Him.

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

I’ve served in child care, both in classes, VBS and coordinating teachers for classes. Also a middle school counselor at church leading a small group.

I’ve been a part of missions trips.

Involved in the worship teams at different churches.

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

In middle school God providing while my dad was in rehab.

My whole life by God putting a best friend who would encourage my faith and stick by my side even when I made horrible mistakes and her always being willing to call me out in love on things.

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:

When I started cutting myself because of depression and having tried to commit suicide.

My dad having a drug problem and watching the struggle in my family.

Having had relationships where there is a lot of sexual pressure and not always having held up well to it.

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)?

2. My Relationship with Others

Putting Your Spouse First
Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those

3. I would want to be able to minister to people who suffer from self harm and depression

4. I would want to go on missions trips and show Christ in places that are less fortunate

5. Being able to be part of worship teams and music ministries
