#1 Gift, Teaching (87%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
My brain just thinks logically, even with complicated, unstructured concepts. I am also not afraid of being in front of a crowd. I also know that I learn best when preparing a lesson of some sort. My ultimate thought in prepping is “how will this go over to the person who is consuming it for the first time.” I also feel passionate about “in context” teaching.

#2 Gift, Administration (84%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
My brain often thinks “programmatically”…what can a group of people do, and how can they organize, to accomplish a task. What are the milestones? And what is the “vision” they are headed toward. In the context of ministry, this is trying to discern Gods will through Scripture, then counsel, circumstances, experiences, and other forms of God communicating.

#3 Gift, Pastoring/Shepherding (84%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I love seeing people active in God’s work, and helping them get excited about their role in ministry. I also am not afraid to lovingly apply scripture to maintain alignment with God’s will. I think there is a humility missing from all people in accepting correction. Shepherding is guiding, protecting, and when necessary, correcting for the betterment of the flock.

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 grew up in the Church and came to know Jesus at a young age (10). After adolescents, I became more aware of what living for Jesus really meant and my growth began there…during and after college.

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

Deacon, Christ Community Church, Vacaville, CA. 2 Years

Every Man a Warrior Leader, Carlisle, PA, 4 years.

Worship Team member, 2 locations, 3 years.

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

Promise Keepers Rallies. Showed me what a Christian man should be.

Getting Married…and the process of marriage. Living life WITH and FOR someone else.

Father coming to Christ 2 months before dying. It is NEVER too late.

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:

Separation from my family for 1 year. Made me understand better my role and need to be active in their life

Not getting my first Squadron Command. My plan is not always God’s plan.

The pain of selling a rental home. Lean on God when I don’t have any resources to do it myself.
