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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I had been in church all of my life when I went to a singles’ retreat. That’s when I had an experience with the Holy Spirit. After receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit in my room I was called out to the warm springs area. I received a prophetic word questioning why I had been running from Him and commanding me to preach the Gospel. I fell to my knees, wept and committed my way to the Lord. I had known Him all of my life, but, then I committed my life to Him, truly accepting Him as Lord and Savior.

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

I served as an Assistant Pastor at Word of Faith Love Center, East Point, GA, 8.5 years

I serve as the Lead Pastor of Tabernacle of Worship for 2 years

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

Meeting my wife and marrying her.

The birth of both of our children.

Being ordained into ministry.

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:
