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

Grew up in a strong Christian environment and gave my life to Christ when I was 7, but didn’t get serious and on-mission until I was in high school.

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

Hindman First Baptist Church. Hindman, KY. Small Group Leader. 4 years

Camp Nathanael. Emmalena, KY. Camp Counselor. 7 years

Lighhouse Church. Richmond, KY. Worship Team, Discipleship Group Leader, Media Team. 5 years.

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

Spending my summers at Camp Nathanael growing in Christ and leading kids to Him

My youth group in high school. I learned so much about God’s character and how to apply that to my daily walk with Him.

Using sports to glorify God and being an example of Christ, even on a basketball court.

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:

Miscarriage. I feel the weight of sadness that other people go through now because I felt the heaviness of it myself.

Dealing with anxiety.

Church pastor in the past that left his family and the church for sin.
