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

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Felt the horrifying conviction of sin so powerfully that I had to beg God to help me stop my lifestyle of sin and to give me peace knowing that I would not be lost forever. This happened in college.

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

Sunset Canyon Baptist Church – youth minister

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

When I couldn’t decide which Star Wars action figure to buy and I had them all laid out on the ground plus the ships just to look at and my mom said “let’s get them all!”

Anytime I have gotten to lead/ speak/ express myself etc and it’s gone awesome. (Senior night at GCU)

Meeting Taylor.

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:

Church of wells.

Getting abused by coaches in basketball.

Being unaccepted or made fun of or made an outcast.
