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 asked God to save me when I was 6 years old, At 18 I ran from God when my Grandpa died, at 31 I came back to God knowing he is the only way to truly live a happy life.

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

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

Two years ago Pastor Bill challenged us to tithe and I was not really wanting to at all. My wife and I talked we decided to give and give freely. Later that month we had to decide to do one thing or have Christmas as a family. I told her to do the one thing and we will have faith God will provide Christmas for us. That all took place on Saturday and Monday morning I went into work to find a Christmas bonus on my desk. I have worked at this company 9 years and they have never done this before

God has always watch over me. I come from a broken home and I could always feel him by my side

Even now I have a broken family but God helps me see how things are better in my life

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:

I went through a divorce

I had an addiction

I have tried life without God
