#1 Gift, Evangelism (75%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
This one shocks me a little. I have always been comfortable making it well known about my faith and trust in Jesus. When it comes to sharing I have been a little more reserved. I used to hate hearing in a conversation “its in the bible” with out the person knowing where at and the context. My wife and I want to work on this one together. (What Drew has been preaching the past few weeks)

#2 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (75%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I am absolutely a glass half full person. Sometimes to the point I think it can be frustrating for others. I address and understand the real world but do not believe the light at then end of the tunnel is a train. I have a young baby girl and one going to be here any day I want them feel the good and the love in the world.

#3 Gift, Giving (75%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
From the moment we were married I personally feel with the all the blessings that Katie and I have it is very important for us to give consistently. We have faith Meadowdale is where we are supposed to be and believe in the mission of Meadowdale.

[H]eart

Three things I love to do that bring joy and fulfillment in my life:

1. My wife and Kids.. I really don’t think Katie knows how much of my hero she is and these to baby girls are the air in my lungs.

2. Sports especially college football. Go Dawgs!

3. I love being outside chasing my little one. Throwing the football or baseball and I love to fish. Overall just get me outside.

Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

I would say the youth.

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

Katie and I are newer members of Meadowdale. We truly believe that is where God wants us. We are newer members and shortly after we joined the Pastor left then COVID hit and now hopefully things are getting back to a normal. we are not from Calhoun and only know a few people from Church. We are in a Tuesday night small group led by Ashley Rice and Matt knight it has been awesome getting to know them. No issues we are just still trying to get plugged in.

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 was “saved” as a young boy 9 or 10 years old at my Grandparents Church’s vacation bible school. My parents for the most part always had us attending Church. When I was 15 on Wednesday’s with the football team a lot of us went after practice. There was one Wednesday (WOW service worship on Wednesday’s) There was a baseball coach/group leader Jay that led our group. I cant even remember the message that night because the Lord was telling me clear as day that I was lost and I needed to be saved . So that night as soon as the youth pastor was done I ran a found Jay and truly gained salvation.

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

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

Meeting Katie in high school.

Being a Foster parent.. I was extremely scared when Katie and I started that adventure. There have been mountain highs and valley lows but it has been incredible.

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:

Parents divorce.

Death of grandmother and good friends.
