Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

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

I grew up in the church and never challenged the thought of faith. I think it became real to me in high school when I had to stand for my faith on my own.

Oak Grove Christian Church Beckley, WV Sunday School teacher for elementary age 2 years

Christian Church of Panama City Panama City, FL intern youth minister 3 months

Farragut Christian Church Knoxville, TN youth minister and Sr. Minister 20 years

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

Marriage

Parenting

Deciding to stay at the same church for 20 years.

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:

Son’s diagnosis

Turned down for a job

Last place in preaching competition
