#1 Gift, Pastoring/Shepherding (87%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Less of pastoring, but definitely shepherding. I feel burdened around developing believers in their faith for the rest of their lives. My heart beats to grow them in their relationship with Jesus and move them from baby to mature followers.

#2 Gift, Evangelism (68%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I also am not surprised by this one! I often feel the tension between my shepherd heart and my evangelist heart. Not surprising, my shepherd heart tends to override and take priority in how I use my time, but my evangelist heart is loud and vocal! I feel the urgency and desire for all to come to know Jesus and struggle between shepherding the already or seeking the lost.

#3 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (65%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I wasn’t surprised by this either. I feel like my go to phrase has been “i encourage you to” which comes out more as an exhortation. This really comes from my shepherd heart who wants to keep urging them to press on, to take heart, and to grow in their love for Jesus!!

[H]eart

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

1. Have meaningful, vulnerable, real-life, honest conversations with new friends or people. Ideally, its two-way and not just me pursuing and listening the entire time, though I will do that.

2. Sharing the gospel with someone new and talking about where they are at with faith. But what brings me a ton of joy is when they are curious about Jesus and see their need/desire for him!

3. Sit with someone in their struggle and show that I love and care for them, even if I can’t fix it. Though, I do also LOVE having input in how to help with a situation. I do feel really alive when someone comes to me with an issue and I can help with it! But beyond that, getting to be with them in the struggle is fulfilling and purposeful.

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

Young people. Not my peers, and not high school/middle school. Mostly college age and early 20s

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

Reaching lost college students.

Your Primary was ‘The Retriever’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
