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 have been church all my life.

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

Growing up in Evergreen MBC, Oakland, CA , I served in hospitality/choir/ Praise & Worship/Sunday School/VBS.

Joined C.O.H, Oakland, CA early 2000’s where I served in hospitality/ Praise & Worship /Choir/ Licensed Minister as a Teacher.

Joined ALNG, Oakland, CA – Amour Bearer/Praise & worship

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

I can say that the leader inside of me came out of Evergreen MBC and started to blossom at COH.

I was always taught the Prayer was just a conversation with God, however, it was not until I attended COH that sometimes you have to fast as well as pray.

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:

Having christian tell you “it doesn’t take all of that”… and learning for myself that it TAKES all of that and more when you desire a real relationship God.
