Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was baptized as a baby, and my parents have fostered that relationship ever since, but I can assuradly say that my faith is my own, and have been proactive in strengthening my relationship with God

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

My parents have always loved me and supported me growing up, and I couldn’t ask for better life teachers/role models.

Playing sports has been a huge part of my life, and I try to stay involved in them whenever I can.

Discovering my love for statistics, and finding my path of working in the healthcare industry really motivates me to try and be a part of a solution to one of the biggest problems that affects millions of Americans

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

After 4.5 years of a long term commited relationship that lasted from the end of high school to the end of college, I cheated on my girlfriend. I broke up with her by telling her what I had done and that I had feelings for someone else.

I was tasked with house sitting for mh cousin, and I broke their trust by throwing a party while they were gone, which they inevitably found out about

Multiple people in my life who I either was or am very close with, struggle(d) with various levels and diagnoses of mental illness.
