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

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

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

A large portion of my life was spent as an atheist, then transitioning more to an agnostic. While serving in the Marines, I was exposed to a lot of “bible thumpers” that always kind of turned me off to religion. I met my wife, who was a believer. We’d have discussions, sometimes arguments, about it; but I was never moved to really hear the Gospel. We were relocated by the military and we rented a house next to a nice family with kids about our kids’ ages. They were Evangelicals, invited us to their church and into their small group. I was apprehensive at first but ended up really enjoying it, 6 months later I accepted Christ as my savior.

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

Usher – New Life Church – Gainesville, VA – 1 year
