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

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

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

I received Jesus when I was 7. Did not understand what that meant until I was 13. At that point, I understood my call in worship ministry and that my skills and talents should be used for the glory of God. Since then, I have strived to honor him in all I do.

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

Third Baptist Church, Marion IL, Youth Worship Leader, 5 years

The Cross Community Church, Marion IL, Worship Minister, 4 years

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

Starting as a worship leader at church at 14 years old.

Meeting my wife.

The birth of my child.

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:

I was dumped by my girlfriend of 4 1/2 years very suddenly.

I was depressed and had great anxiety over my life for a few years.

I was fired from my job for reasons that i did not think were justified.
