Pick a task, any task: some people are going to be really good at it, and others, well, not so good. Have you ever wondered why? This class will help you discover how God has wired and “shaped” you by exploring Scripture and the different things that make you “you.” We will help you discover not only how God has made you unique but also how your uniqueness fits in the bigger picture of what God is doing. You will gain a fresh perspective on how God can use your specific talents and passions, and you will also be connected with ministries and opportunities that align with those talents and passions. Week 1 (at Grace): An hour-and-a-half exploration of the Bible and what it says about who is gifted, how we are gifted, and how those gifts are to be used. Week 2 (at home): A homework assignment, completed on your own, to identify your unique combination of Spiritual gifts, Heartbeat, Abilities, Personality, and Experiences. Week 3 (at Grace): An approximately 1-hour meeting with your SHAPE Connector to learn more about how your God-given SHAPE can be used in loving God and loving your neighbor.
