The Engineer embodies a unique blend of characteristics, combining the traits of the Creator, and Explorer. On their journey along the narrow path for Jesus, they carry three symbolic tools: the maul, the quill, and the explorer's pack. The maul, a double-headed instrument, can be used for building and construction or wielded as a weapon for warfare. Similarly, the Engineer's anger, represented by the maul, can fuel constructive reformation or destructive harm.The quill, representing creativity, enables the Engineer to craft diplomatic solutions, often averting conflict. Meanwhile, the explorer's pack, symbolizing experience, equips them with the necessary tools to embark on missions and respond to unexpected challenges.However, when the Engineer succumbs to shame or fear, their emotions can manifest as self-righteousness and anger. If not grounded in Christ, this anger may be misdirected, masked by creative justifications and a focus on victimhood. In these moments, the Engineer's natural talents can be hijacked by destructive impulses.By acknowledging and surrendering these emotions to Christ, the Engineer can redirect their anger, creativity, and experience toward positive outcomes. As they walk the narrow path, they can harness their unique gifts to build, create, and explore, fueled by a motivation that honors God.Through this transformation, the Engineer's tools become instruments of redemption, their anger refined into constructive passion, their creativity harnessed for inspirational purposes, and their experience guiding others along the journey.
The Ally's unique profile includes characteristics from the Creator, and Guardian archetypes. This blend equips them with symbolic tools, representing their inherent helping nature and creative problem-solving skills. These tools include medicine, poisons, and knowledge of plants and minerals, which can be used for healing or harm, depending on their connection to Christ.When following Jesus, the Ally leverages these tools for kingdom purposes, using their expertise to heal and support others. However, when disconnected from Christ, these same tools can be misused, harming themselves and others. The Ally's motivation stems from a deep-seated shame, driving their quest for self-worth.Their medicine symbolizes the helping they were created to do, but when shame triggers anger, fueled by the Guardian's protective instincts, this medicine can transform into poison, to be used against others and against themselves. The Ally's Creator aspect brings innovative solutions, artistic expression, and resourceful navigation of complex situations. Yet, this aspect is also motivated by shame, emphasizing uniqueness and differentiation.This presents a challenge for the Ally's ego: offering the right help, rather than the most unique help. The Ally must balance their desire to stand out with the need to serve humbly, creative impulses with practical effectiveness, and self-worth concerns with Christ-centered identity.By acknowledging and surrendering their shame and anger to Christ, the Ally can transform their medicine into healing balm, channeling their creativity for kingdom purposes, and embodying self-worth rooted in Christ's love. Through this transformation, the Ally becomes a powerful instrument of healing and support, bringing hope and restoration to others.
The Motivator includes a complex blend of characteristics from the Keeper, and Diplomat archetypes. Within them lies a powerful symbolic trio: a whip representing motivation, a shield signifying loyalty and protection, and a medicine kit embodying their gift of healing words. However, this same whip that motivates others can also be turned inward, fueling self-deprecation and shame - the Motivator's primary sin pattern, rooted in their relentless pursuit of achievement.This internal struggle is further complicated by the fear motivation of the Keeper, which shields their ego, and the anger motivation of the Diplomat, which fuels their passion for justice. The Keeper's shield protects not only those they love but also their own vulnerable ego, while the Diplomat's medicine kit tends to the emotional wounds of others.Despite these internal conflicts, the Motivator's unique combination of traits enables them to offer hope to a broken world. The whip that drives them to achieve also motivates others to action. The shield that guards their ego also protects those they care about.

As the Motivator surrenders their shame and fear to God, they can transform their internal struggles into a powerful force for good, reflecting God's love and light to a world in need.

This paradoxical desire often manifests as a longing to be saved from their own brokenness, while also aspiring to be the hero in others' stories.The Engineer aspect of the Creator can sometimes surface as cantankerousness and meanness, particularly when their shame and insecurity are triggered. Conversely, the Ally's influence can amplify their helpful nature, but also perpetuate their sense of entitlement and desire for acceptance at any cost.
