Know and use your God-given strengths - you are amazing - fearfully and wonderfully made! (Psalm 139)

"What makes you unique?  What gives you joy?  If you understood yourself better, do you think it could make a difference in your college studies?  How about your job, or better yet the relationships that matter most?  Could understanding how God made you unique answer some doubts and prayers you have about your future? 

This "learn the basics" overview of StrengthsFinder will help you become more aware of your God given strengths.  The emphasis will be on how each person and the specific partner-up Opportunities can find joy serving the Lord in your personal life, your ministry to serve others, and the m any other teams and roles in your lives.  We will identify Strength Partner-Up Opportunities and be encouraged in light of how God has created us to be a unique part of the body of Christ - as we all grow in love for ourselves based upon God's love for us to serve others. 

Don't know your strengths?  Visit www.gallupstrengthscenter.com to unlock your top 5 strengths ($20) or full 34 ($50)  Awake and Alive receives no support from StrengthsFinder, but believe it is an incredibly powerful tool that is extremely helpful to understanding how God made you unique through the strengths he is revealing in some of the research of this agency.
