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

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

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 raised in the church, attended youth group and Sunday school. In 7th grade, I went on my first winter camp trip with the youth group and I was absolutely amazed by the community of believers and worship. I felt inspired. I was never the same after that camp. I started delving into the Bible and I realized there was so much more to life. Thus began my journey as a believer in Jesus Christ.

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

Westminster Presbyterian Church (15 years): attended the junior and senior high youth groups, went on numerous mission trips, became an advisor of the youth groups when I was older.

Mission trips include Mexico, San Francisco, Chicago, West Virginia (3x), Haiti (2x).

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

2006 West Virginia mission trip

Alpha retreat 2016

Meeting my fiance in our community group 2017

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:

Break ups

Being an alcoholic

Bullying
