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

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

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

At 30 heard the gospel for the first time, convicted of my sin, accepted forgiveness, cried, prayed for forgiveness and asked Jesus to be my Lord

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

Valley Bible Church, Vista, Calif
Church Elder/small group leader/facility caretaker
40 years

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

Serving with our youth pastor when our daughter started Jr High

taking guys through a new christian study, one on one

Overseeing the purchase and remodel of our current church building

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:

watching divisions within the church over large decisions

seeing people leave and to go a different church over petty issues or unresolved relationships, rather than reconcile
