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

grew up in a Christian home and was 18 in college just knew it was time and made the decision.

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

6 years as solo pastor in Nova Scotia, 5 years as senior pastor in New Brunswick
7 years on staff of large church in Pennsylvania.

5 years as Senior Pastor in Nova Scotia and presently a solo pastor in New Brunswick for the past 5 years.

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

Short Term Mission Work in South Africa, Panama, Haiti and Ukraine.

Second Church, many people grew and came to Jesus, Saw people set free from many things including myself.

5 years in a troubled church, but saw great healing and unity.

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:

One church I was encouraged to leave because I was not the right fit for the leadership. Lots of conflict.

My son has Autism has taught us a lot about prayer and people with special needs.

Another church where I was always dealing with conflict, but made sure the relationships were more important then the issue.
