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

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

In Oct 1976 at age 22, after tasting job and girlfriend bliss for a season, and then losing both, back to back, I dropped into a dank dark pit, a woman shared Christ with me. Sometime in Dec of that year I called to the LORD and he rescued me.

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

Facilitated leading a men’s small group. Dallas TX, late 1980’s.

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

Hearing Os Guinness speak at a retreat.

Being involved with the AIM ministry in Dallas in the 80’s

Being involved with the Bryant Family

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:

Having been raised in a troubled home.

Addictive behaviors I’ve had/have.

All manner of fear, anger and guilt.
