Resumes and biographies do a decent job of listing what a person’s done but may not effectively communicate who a person is. So, I’ve fashioned a few statements describing my purposes, values, passions and foundational or “life” scripture verses in an attempt to introduce myself and paint a picture of who I am and what I believe.
Purposes are the reasons you exist, the objectives or desired results of your life.
What are my purposes?
- To love God with all my heart.
- To love and nurture my wife Rebecca and daughters Phoebe and Chelsea.
- To lead people to Christ and to assist them in becoming His disciples.
- To equip, mentor and release influencers within the Church and our communities.
Values are the principles - ethics or modes of operation by which you choose to live.
What are my values?
- Authenticity: Who I am in public is who I am in private.
- Relationships: Community with others is where abundant life occurs.
- Being faith-filled: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!
- Commitment: My motivation is to hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant…”
- Compassion: I am an ambassador of God’s love, called to care and love all people.
- Excellence: I make every effort to do all things as unto Him.
- The health of my family is priority over any other endeavor I may have.
- God’s word is the standard for living a balanced and healthy - God pleasing life.
- A tithe of my salary belongs to the Lord and I give generously.
Passions are emotions that make life exciting and fun and that compel you to take action.
What am I passionate about?
In ministry:
- Generation X (20 to 40 something’s), their kids and the youth of our nation.
- “Cell” or small group ministry.
- Discovering the specific role the local church plays in the community she’s planted.
- Missions and short-term missionary work: local and abroad.
- Dynamic celebration or worship services.
In ministry:
- Experiencing the outdoors, especially the beach and surfing.
- Learning new things, meeting new people, going to new places.
- Laughter…
“Life verses” are specific scripture verses on which you choose to build your life.
