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 invited to church VBS in 3rd grade where I was “saved” and baptized after. After I didn’t really change at all. In college I lived poorly (drinking, drugs, etc) but then experienced the loss of a close friend who had told me toward the end of his life that he wanted me to wake up and realize how I was living. Losing him made me hit rock bottom. At the same time friends invited me to come to church. I did. Finding God still there with me gave me new hope and purpose.

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

Youth Ministry- MBC- since 2012 (other churches not local before that)

Young Adult SS Teacher- MBC- 2 years

Small group leader in college for both our college ministry and a small group of teen girls at a local church

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

My stepdad coming into my life. He has shaped me to be who I am.

Working for a youth missions camp multiple summers.

Spending a summer in Uganda.

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:

My bio dad leaving and a rocky relationship my whole life.

Losing a close friend at a young age.

Years of poor decisions regarding drugs and alcohol.

Wrapping It Up

Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

2. My Relationship with Others

Putting Your Spouse First
Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those

3. Create some sort of group for foster teens.

4. Create a ministry for single parents. Small group, etc.
