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

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

Growing up in a Christian household I always know of God, but He became real to me when my youth group in HS went to a retreat in Texas and I saw the hand of God move, and confirm things in my life and in the people around me. That is when my relationship with Christ became real, and personal.

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

Youth Leader, Rainbow Family Christian Center, Silver Spring MD, 3+ years

Bible Study Co-facilitator, BCC, Homewood PA, 4+ months

Van Driver Co-Pilot, BCC, Homewood PA

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

Traveling and teaching in a majority Muslim country

Being physically healed when I was in high school

Having a grandmother who willingly shared her LOVE for Christ, and being able to go visit almost every summer as a kid growing up.

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:

Being abused as a child.

Going through my parents rocky divorce.

Dealing/overcoming depression and anxiety.
