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

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

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

I grew up in a Christian home, but was saved in 2007 when a pastor taught from Scripture we couldn’t be embedded in sin, without conviction, and hope to be saved. God convicted me of my sin, need of repentance, and turn to Jesus to save me and use me.

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

Singer in chior and praise team

Deacon

Organize banquets / events that served as outreach to non-believers and community

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

Men that really showed lives changed by God.

A loving pastor

Serving in a widows ministry

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:

Another pastor that hurt my son verbally and caused him to leave our church for another.

Seeing people overlooked or turned away because of mental illness

Seeing people talked about when they fell into sin instead of being loved on and tried to be restored
