Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, 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

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

I was the religious, “go-through-the-motions” type. Lived a double life. One way at church and another at school. Knew a lot about God, but learned that I did not actually know or follow Christ. God saved me. Called me into the ministry. Continues to train me up. Allows me to faithfully serve in his church.

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

Word of Life Argentina Summer Camp Ministry. Buenos Aires, Argentina, 6 months

Riverbend Baptist, Asst. Youth Pastor, 2012-2015

Westminster Church, Youth Pastor, 2015-present

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

Call to Vocational Ministry

Year Spent in Argentina

Discipleship under Ben Thornton

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:

Family Crisis

The Departure from Riverbend Baptist Church

Seasons of Depression. Teaching me to turn back to Christ.
