Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, 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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I have been a Christian since I was a child, but went my own way in my 20s. Soon found out that I am really bad at directing my own life, and in my early 30s I realized I needed to make a decision for my life.

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

Volunteer leading connect group

Volunteering on service teams

On staff

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

Being in the Army. Brought out characteristics and skills that I didn’t know I had.

Learning to serve and honor coworkers who don’t know Christ.

My family has been a huge part of my life and still are.

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:

Being in the Army. After getting out of the Army there was a lot of healing and maturing needed so I could move past some hurts.

College was a rough experience where I decided to make my own choices and I needed to walk through the consequences of them to learn.

Family! Good and bad!
