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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Grew up in a household where my mom influenced my Christianity. Due to lack of support of my dad (not degrading), could find a consistent home. Was recommended back when I was 19, and dissolved in a complacent state when I went away to college.

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

Northland Cathedral Pre-K to Kinder.
KC, Mo

Nashua Baptist 4 years

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

My Dad and his moral compass. My mom and her Christianity.

Elementary Physical Education Teacher

College where I met my wife.

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 to leave a church due to a break-up.

Having great friends who are non-believers.

My dad who is also a non-believer, but seeing his great moral compass in the way he lives his life. Very Christ like for someone who doesn’t believe.
