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 gave my life at the age of 9 because of the teaching and love shown to me by my mother and the church I attended with her.

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

Campus Pastor – Salty Church, Ormond Beach, Fl. – 4 years

Lead Pastor – East Coast Church, Melbourne, Fl. – 6 years

Worship Pastor – Church at The Springs, Ocala, Fl. – 8 years

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

Norman Burkett, Coleman Pratt, Bruce Morgan and Keith Martian encouraging me to lead worship and teach at our Student Ministry when I was in Middle/High/College School.

Marring my wife Marci – adopting our first two children and the birth of our next 4 children.

Leading Worship and Teaching at The Church at The Springs and being part of a church growth of 10 people to 3,000 people in 8 years.

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:

Being sent to prison at the age of 19. This created an empathy for others who have troubled past.

Growing up with a broken relationship with my father. This has made me a better father and created a desire in me to help families and parents going through difficult times discover the joy of family and parenting.

My youngest son being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. This has created a deeper faith and a greater empathy and compassion for people who are faced with difficulties in life.

Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those
