3. Contact your Church leader so that you can go over your S.H.A.P.E. Profile Results together.
NOTE: This assessment takes 30-60 minutes, and must be completed in one sitting.

Wrapping Up Your S.H.A.P.E.
The Challenge: For a follower of Christ, making God #1 should always be our Top Focus/Priority, then from that we get the Love needed for our #2 Focus/Priority, and that is to Love our Neighbor.
So Based upon your S.H.A.P.E. Assessment above (the way God created 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/Prioritize' your Life on, 'After' Loving God and Loving Your Neighbor (these would be '3 God-Sized Dreams/Goals' that you could work towards)?
Example #1: To sing regularly in a Church setting for God.
Example #2: To go on a Missionary Trip.
Example #3: I would volunteer at a homeless shelter feeding the poor.
