This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I like to teach to others that may have been misguided, unsure, or never thought of certain topics. I like to use teaching for understanding and encouragement.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I am responsible, have high integrity, love the overseer position. I like to be apart of everything I can handle, and sometimes a little more. My favorite place to be is in charge. I don’t mind learning something new so I may be able to have administration over it. I trust myself enough to be given almost any task/person and do what I can to help them.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I don’t want to walk this world knowing I have kept people from Christ, or hurt their faith. I want to study every aspect of the Bible, and understand how it applies to our lives, so that I may be prepared to answer any question, and know how to most effectively breach the heart of unbelievers, then bring Jesus into their heart.

[H]eart

1. Relationships with others who pursue God and more of Him.

2. People looking up to me, having high expectations of me, and knowing that they can rely on me.

3. Knowing I am giving something my all regardless of the outcome.

Brothers in Christ, around my age and older. People who are strong-willed, and put respect and trust into me as well as me for them.

I am excited for evangelistic movement, but also concerned for government suppression over the church. I love the idea of healing, revival, spiritual connection, and miracles. I dislike a dying church, and a church being unable to carry out the truth of God, conforming to society, and hurting/corrupting those in the church and the church itself.

Marriage/family issues
Spiritual laziness
Other – Immorality

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

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

[E]xperience

I was born and raised Christian, I gave thought to giving my life for God and accepted it. I fell off the walk a bit, but always believed and fought for faith. Now I have given up more than ever to stay aligned to Christ.

God changing my heart to focus on making it into my dream school.

Giving up everything entailing sin to be in a faithful relationship with God.

Playing football- realized how tough I was, my responsibility, team driven, leadership skills, becoming a specimen, learning when to quit/ not to quit.

Rupturing kidney- learning to forgive and everything happens for a reason.

Breaking up with girlfriend

Getting beat by addiction for years and allowing a sin-driven life.
