Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

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 grew up in a Christian home. God didn’t become super real to me until highschool/college. Even more since I got married and learned how much I need God in the day to day.

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

Worship Team – Bell Buckle, TN

Freelance Worship Team – Murfreesboro, TN

Coffee – Murfreesboro, TN

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

Worshipping with my dad when I was younger. Learning to feel the Spirit and just soak in worship.

Telling my wife about my struggles with porn and her forgiveness and mercy. She’s walked through it with me and has helped hold me accountable.

Seeing my dad lose his job and learning to rely on God’s provision.

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:

Porn. It hurt my marriage and is a true addiction.

Loss of employment.

Waiting on God to the point being being apathetic and lazy.
