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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Accepted Jesus at age 6 as a Catholic. Made a stronger, informed commitment to Christ at age 11 after hearing an evangelistic message about personal faith.

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

Hope Fellowship, Centennial, CO. Worship leader. 2010-2013

New Community Christian Church, Littleton, CO. Worship leader. 2005-2009.

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

Experiencing success for many years as a professional vocalist and actor in musical theatre and fronting bands.

Getting to work as a professional on-camera actor and voice over talent for years on television and in corporate training films.

Helping at Cal Farley’s Boys Ranch (TX) with foster care children through leading a H.S. girls retreat, working with praise team singers and choirs, and instructing social workers in music therapy techniques.

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:

Experiencing spiritual abuse through years at some hyper-charismatic churches God later showed me were teaching an aberrant, unorthodox type of Christianity.

Going through divorce at age 29 as the mother of a small child.

Having a child who struggles with a mental illness.

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. To teach other Christians to develop discernment about false teachings within the Christian church at large.

4. To provide a listening ear or Bible-based counseling to come alongside those who are hurting.

5. To help disciple other Christians through Bible study.
