5 Misconceptions About Abilities
Abilities

• 1. MYTH People arent born with skills. All
  skills must be learned by experience.
• This simply is not true. There are a number of
  talents which seem to be inborn, or are developed
  very early in infancy. When people say He just
  seems to have a natural talent for it its
  probably true!

73
5 Misconceptions About Abilities
Abilities

• 2. MYTH Those skills which must be learned,
  are learned primarily in the classroom.
• Actually, some of your most basic skills were
  learned at home, in the street, or somewhere
  else outside the classroom.

74
5 Misconceptions About Abilities
Abilities

• 3. MYTH If you have certain abilities, you
  will be very aware that you have them.
• Again, this is not true. You are probably using
  a number of talents or skills that you are not
  even aware of! You need some process of skill
  identification.

75
5 Misconceptions About Abilities
Abilities

• 4. MYTH Skills that I use at work are only
  usable in that environment. I couldnt use them
  in D.R. ministry.
• Hopefully, by the end of this class, youll see
  the fallacy of this idea. Be creative!

76
5 Misconceptions About Abilities
Abilities

• 5. MYTH Most people only have a very few
  abilities.
• Does anyone really know all of John Scoggins
  abilities? The truth is that many national
  studies have proven that the average person
  possesses from five hundred to seven hundred
  skills!

A Rabbit On The Swim Team
Personality

• Once upon a time, the animals decided to do
  something meaningful to meet the problems of the
  new world. So they organized a school. The
  adopted an activity curriculum of running,
  climbing, swimming, and flying. To make it easier
  to administer the curriculum, all the animals
  took all the subjects.
• The duck was excellent in swimming in fact,
  better than his instructor. But he made only
  passing grades in flying, and he was very poor in
  running. Since he was slow in running, he had
  to drop swimming and stay after school to
  practice running. This caused
• his web feet to be badly worn, so that he was
• only average in swimming. But average was
• quite acceptable, so nobody worried about
• that- except the duck.

83
Personality

• The rabbit started at the top of his class in
  running, but developed a nervous twitch in his
  leg muscles because of so much make-up work in
  swimming.

The squirrel was excellent in climbing, but he
encountered constant frustration in flying class
because his teacher made him start from the
ground up instead of from the treetop down. He
developed Charlie horses from overexertion, and
so only got a C in climbing and a D in running.
84
Personality
The eagle was a problem child and was severely
disciplined for being a non-conformist. In
climbing trees he beat all the others to the top
of the tree, but insisted on using his own way to
get there.

What is the moral of the story?

86
Personality Development
Personality

• The study of human behavior was first developed
  by the Greek Scholar Hippocrates, the father of
  modern medicine, around 400 BC. He identified
  four body fluids that he believed determined a
  persons behavior.
• In A.D. 149 a Roman physiologist by the name of
  Galen proposed a temperament theory that built on
  Hippocrates observations. His four temperaments

CHOLERIC extroverted/task-oriented type,
SANGUINE extroverted/people-oriented
type, PHLEGMATIC introverted/people-oriented
type, MELANCHOLY introverted/task-oriented
type.
87
Personality Development
Personality

• Scientific research shows that, as individuals
• we are powered by either our
• outgoing or our reserved approach to life,
• our direction is steered either towards
• tasks or toward people.
• Most human behavioral scientists either agree
  with Hippocrates Galen or have only tweaked his
  basic findings slightly (sometimes only by
  changing the terminology)

88
Personality Development
Personality

• In 1928, William Marston, a psychologist authored
  The Emotions of Normal People, which
  introduced the D.I.S.C. letters in describing the
  four temperaments.
• In 1977, John G. Geier Dorothy E. Downey
  developed the Performax Personal Profile
  System, which was a personal assessment used by
  business industry, based on Marstons
  D.I.S.C.

89
Personality DevelopmentNature vs. Nurture
Personality

• 35 of your personality is genetically based
  (Nature) (In 1979 the University of Minnesota
  conducted a study entitled Twins Reared Apart,
  which revealed convincing evidence that much of
  our personality is inherited. A similar study at
  Indiana University produced the same results.)
• Another 50 of your personality is shaped in
  childhood development up to the age of 6
  (Nurture)
  (Parents have a great influence
  on their childrens personality beware of
  attempting to make all of your children act the
  same.)
• The remaining 15 of your personality development
  comes from the rest of childhood adolescence.
• The Holy Spirit of God is the only influence that
  can effect change in your natural temperament or
  your nurtured personality.
• (Unfortunately most Christians never allow God
  to completely change their temperament to His
  standards see Galatians 522-23)

90
Personality DevelopmentNature vs. Nurture
Personality

• Your past influences your personality, but
  doesnt have to control it, the choice is yours.
  You are capable of growth and change.
• Major events or crises in your adult life can
  have a permanent effect on your personality.
• In order to succeed in family, personal, ministry
  business relationships, people learn to adapt
  adjust their style.
• These learned skills are not a persons normal or
  natural preference, but they are necessary for
  their life needs.
• Holy Spirit is working in the lives of Christians
  to conform them to the image of Christ (Romans
  89, 2 Corinthians 318).

91
Success at work ministry depends a lot on your
people skills.
92
Personality
People Skills Are Important

• By learning more about your behavior that of
  others, you greatly improve good relationships
• In Disaster Relief Ministry, there is a great
  need for people who can relate well to others.
• No one is outstanding at everything, you need
  others to supplement your weaknesses with their
  strengths.
• When two different people dont get along, it is
  usually a problem of inflexibility. No one wants
  to move out of their comfort zone.
• Some people believe everyone thinks and makes
  decisions just as they do. The Bible is very
  clear that God has made each of us unique.

93
Personality
People Skills Are Important

• By understanding the unique way God has made you,
  you can learn to love people and appreciate their
  differences.
• God made each of us different,, not worse than
  others, not better but different. These
  differences often cause difficulties in
  relationships.
• The Bible is also very clear that Christians are
  to love care for other people.

94
Jesus described the mark of a true disciple like
this

By this all men will know you are my
disciples, If you love one another. John

Personality
I. Projected Concept (MOST responses) The
Projected Concept reflects how you think others
want you to behave or how you want them to see
you. This is the mask people assume in order to
achieve success. The roots of your Projected
Concept lie in everything you have experienced
from childhood to early adulthood -
family, friends, schooling, religion. By early
adulthood, most people have decided how they must
act to get what they want in life, and that
behavior becomes their Projected Concept.
105
Personality
106
L Graph
Personality
II. Private Concept (LEAST responses) This is
your basic behavior - what you are down deep.
This behavior is the product of heredity and
early environment. People display this behavior
in relaxed situations (at home or with friends),
when they dont sense the need for the mask of
the Projected Concept, or in stressful situations
when maintaining the mask is too difficult.

Plugging in My Personality
Personality

• What happens when we try to serve outside our
  personality - How do we feel ?
• 1. WE FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE
• 2. IT TAKES EXTRA TIME EFFORT
• 3. EVEN WITH THE EXTRA EFFORT, WE FREQUENTLY DO
  A LESS THAN WONDERFUL JOB

171
Personality
Personality

• Look for the uniqueness that God created in you -
  you are a priceless treasure. Why did you listen
  to those who demeaned youand far worse, why did
  you believe them ? No longer hide your rarity in
  the dark. Bring it forth.
• In one sense, we should not need to imitate
  others and be comfortable to be ourselves,
  however Paul once said Imitate me, as I also
  imitate Christ.
• 1 Cor. 111

  specific ministries.

179
Disaster Relief SHAPE Values
S.H.A.P.E.

• About Ministry
• God has given all his children a SHAPE that can
  be developed and used in ministry. Everyone is a
  10 in some area. Everyone has something to
  offer. Developing and using your SHAPE and that
  of your crew is an act of good stewardship and of
  service.

180
Disaster Relief SHAPE Values
S.H.A.P.E.

• About Ministry
• The evidence of the right match between my
  SHAPE and my Disaster Relief ministry is
• fulfillment and results.

181
Disaster Relief SHAPE Values
S.H.A.P.E.

• About The Body of Christ!
• Disaster Relief, like the church, is to operate
  on the basis of spiritual gifts, rather than
  elected office. We do not elect people to
  positions. A mans gift makes room for him...
  Proverbs 18 16

182
S.H.A.P.E.
Disaster Relief SHAPE Values

• About The Body of Christ!
• Disaster Relief, like the church is a family ,
  not a business an organism, not an
  organization. Therefore we streamline the
  structure in order to maximize ministry and
  minimize maintenance. We do not bury ministries
  under procedures.

183

S.H.A.P.E.
Disaster Relief SHAPE Values

• About The Body of Christ!
• The greater good of the whole Body must always
  take priority over the needs of any single
  ministry. There is no place for turfism in
  Gods Family. Disaster Relief Ministry needs to
  be a part of your churchs overall strategy to
  make Christ famous.

184
Disaster Relief SHAPE Values
S.H.A.P.E.

• About The Role Of Blue Hats !
• The objective is to mobilize and equip an army of
  servants who are maximizing their unique gifts,
  heart, abilities, personality, and experiences in
  a meaningful place of service through Disaster
  Relief.

185
Disaster Relief SHAPE Values
S.H.A.P.E.

• About Accountability!
• Everything in D.R. or Church Ministry rises or
  falls on leadership. No ministry can exceed the
  commitment of those leading it.

186
Disaster Relief SHAPE Values
S.H.A.P.E.

• About Training!
• Every D.R. leader and servant is a learner . The
  moment you stop learning, you stop leading.

187
Disaster Relief SHAPE Values
S.H.A.P.E.

• About Diversity of Ministry!
• Just as there are seasons of Disaster, there are
  seasons in D.R. Ministry. If an area of service
  isnt fulfilling anymore, move to a place where
  it is. There are no sacred cows and many places
  to serve!

188
Disaster Relief SHAPE Values
S.H.A.P.E.

• About Diversity of Ministry!
• Your primary ministry commitment should be in the
  area where you are gifted. Your secondary
  ministry includes serving in any other area of
  the Body where you are needed.

189
Disaster Relief SHAPE Values
S.H.A.P.E.
