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

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

My brother invited me to church just thought being a good person would get you heaven. Didn’t grow up going to church. A missionary was there preaching and talked about being saved and without Christ you would go to hell. I went down to the altar not knowing what to pray but crying out to God to save me and forgive me of my sins. I have never been the same since that night.

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

Mens ministry 2 years, Royal Rangers (High School boys) 3 years

Kicks for Christ ministries 4 years outreach, Street preaching also street preaching on mission trips in Philippines and South Africa

Preaching occasionally on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights at Trindale Community church.

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

Having a mother that was a hard worker and always being there for me. I got my work ethic from her and strive to always be there for my kids as she has been there for me.

Wrestling had a big impact on my life such as taking responsibilities for things that go wrong and not blaming others.

Helping my mother take care of my brother and doing things for him helped me to be a better father in the years to come I believe.

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:

growing up with my parents divorced since I was 2 makes me hurt for those going through that as well.

My dad turning his back on me in my late 20’s hurt and showed me what I will never do to my kids.

after high school hanging around the wrong crowd that led me into things that could have destroyed my life but GOD reached down and rescued me.
