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

I was 24 years old and though I knew about God and Jesus from my experience with church growing up, I never made the relationship a top priority. I realized at that age that God did not just want a place in my life, he wanted (and deserved) first place. I recognize sin kept me from that awareness and so trusted that what Jesus did not on the cross was not just a history lesson but a personal investment in me.

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

Missions and Outreach Pastor, Campus Pastor, Next Steps Pastor, Leading Community Groups, Lead Pastor, Shepherding Fourth Grade Boys

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

Adopting our children

Meeting Tim

Working at NKCH

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:

Infertility

Leaving old friends and making new friends
