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

I became a Christian through relationships with my aunt and uncle and in-laws who lived lives that were distinctly different than mine.

Central Christian Church–Battle Creek, MI–Youth Minister, Worship Leader, Assoc. Minister, Deacon, Sunday school teacher

North Side Christian Church–Terre Haute, IN–Sr. Minister

Holt Christian Church–Lansing, MI–Sr. Minister

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

School at GLCC

Being captain on sports teams.

Being a husband and father

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:

Moved around and didn’t develop “long-term” friendships as a kid

Sisters being abused

wife treated unfairly at previous ministry
