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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

As a teen, I struggled for 2 or 3 years with the decision. I had walked the aisle as a 9 year old, not knowing. At 15, the Holy Spirit pointed out to me the reality of my spiritual condition. Truly saved. True follower, faithful, enthusiastic witness.

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

Sardis Springs Baptist Church, Athens, Alabama as Minister of music, 8 years.

Davis Memorial Baptist Church, Louisville, KY, Music, 2.5 years

First Baptist Church, Fayetteville, TN Music / Worship pastor, 28.5 years
13 years combined as Youth Pastor; 15.5 years as combined Senior Adult Pastor
