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

Before I could remember, I was baptized as a baby and brought to Catholic Church (St. Andrews) every Sunday.
While growing up going to church, I asked a lot of questions and talked about the Priest’s teachings with my family following the services.
Once I got older and started dating my Present wife starting in my senior year of high school, I would test out her church and ask questions about her faith (she group up being raised protestant). I went to youth group nights/camps with her and compared and contrasted the differences of teachings, worship, between my Catholic church and her protestant church. Felt God’s presence in both churches/experiences, and then once my wife and I got married and had kids, we found Mountain View which we instantly fell in love with. We fell in love with everything from the greeters/atmosphere, worship, preaching, energy, and so much more. About a year into going to Mountain View, I rededicated my life to Christ and got baptized since I did not remember making it my choice being too young to remember. Have been volunteering in numerous departments/ministries at Mountain View ever since.

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

First Impressions/Usher and greeter at Mountain View

Junior High Ministry Leader at Mountain View

High School Ministry Leader at Mountain View

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:

In my older brother’s freshman year of college, he experienced a devastating breakup between him and his girlfriend at the time who he was living with.

Being taken advantage of for being trusting and was cheated on.
