50-50 Routine/Variety

Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, 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

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

[E]xperience

I was born into a christian home and have been raised by christian parents but even so with that seed planted in my heart i made a decision at 17 to accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior.

Nueva Vida Ministries
Worship/Worship Leader
I was involved in pretty much anything you could think of. I was there for 19 years before i transitioned to my parents church.

Nueva Vida Ministries GG
Worship Leader/Youth Leader
I was also heavily involved in pretty much every ministry. Kids, tech team, youth, cleaning ministry, etc.. I was there for 4 years.

Sanctuary Church Outreach
Worship/Youth Leader
served with the spanish ministry and also the youth ministry as both worship leader and youth leader.
Creative Director:
I was the media director for spanish ministries. Creating all kinds of content from event names and graphics to promotional videos for social media and marketing purposes. I was there for 6 years.

Surrounded by great leaders and mentors that nurtured me and helped me become a better person.

Had many great tools at my disposal to expand and develop the skills and talents that God has given me.

Going to retreats that were life changing and pivotal moments in my walk with Christ.

I didn’t know how to communicate very well with people that didn’t have the same skill sets as me and it resulted in a meeting that really humbled me. I was able to learn a lot from that and develop compassion for others.

I was abandoned by a close friend/pastor and left the team to figure things out on their own. From that i learned to trust more in God and able to relate with others who have been hurt by church leaders.

I was cheated on by my girlfriend and it scarred me for a long time. Once Jesus healed my i am able to empathize with others and be able to encourage them.
