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

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

I was baptized when I was 12 years old but never surrendered my heart and life to Christ. I went through an unscriptural divorce and felt lost. I found the love of my life and she helped my broken self get back to church. I completely surrendered my heart to Jesus and got rebaptized this year with my life Group and family in attendance. I lead a group of men every week in Life Group!

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

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

Finding my wonderful wife who led me and my family back to Christ!

My family and my wife’s family have loved me unconditionally through my brokenness.

The men in my Life Group helping me thru my brokenness and helping me accept Jesus’s blood and surrendering my life to Christ!

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:

I lost my mom and dad because of my divorce as well as my youngest brother. They disfellowshipped from me because of my unscriptural divorce.

My best friend was killed in a car accident when I was a freshman in high school.

The Church of Christ disfellowshipped from me because of my unscriptural divorce I lost my entire spiritual family.
