My Personality

August 1, 2009 Dave Holt 1 comment

bstn236lI just took a personality assessment on AssessME.org. My primary trait came up as: Creator. The website gives the Creator this caption, “let me invent new and better ways to extend our ministry impact.” I like that! As I read to the bottom of the page, I came across something that made me say, “HECK YES!” I feel like this statement really defines my role in a church:

How Leadership Can Support You

If only more ministries would value the Creator personality instead of remaining risk-avoidant, the Church could accomplish so much more for the Kingdom of Christ. In fact, statements that infer a preference for “safe ministry” will likely turn off the Creator. If your ministry lacks Creator personalities, it is likely that the attitude and atmosphere of the ministry unconsciously communicates that Creators are not welcome.

A ministry can benefit greatly from Creators, but leaders must be willing to appreciate change and help their members appreciate these values as well. Otherwise, Creators can be vilified within the ministry as being responsible for changing the church others have grown to love. If this occurs, your ministry will likely lose this valuable and rare person to another ministry.

The funniest story I’ve EVER heard

April 3, 2009 Dave Holt Leave a comment

I actually read this story in Rhett and Link’s apartment while in college. I remember crying uncontrollably while reading the events of, “The Tragedy”. It’s 15:00 minutes, but it’s the best 15:00 you’ll invest today.
