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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was in a crusade and the pastor explained hell and heaven and I said why not choose Jesus and get heaven

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

TLC- Barrel of Love Group ( Pastoral Care)- 2021-Current

St.Paul’s Baptist – Youth leader, usher (5 years up to 2016)

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

Having family devotions in my home and getting training on reading and explaining scriptures

Getting the opportunity to share sermons at night service at my old church which helped me to feel comfortable being on stage.

The constant way God listens to my heart and acts in my favour on thoughts I haven’t even spoken (Blows my mind every time)

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:

Seeing people being removed from membership for sins I believe we are all guilty of without any form of support given to the person to help them overcome their temptation that led to their fall.

Having a father who lived through substance abuse I have compassion on family and victims of those suffering. I want to help restore families.
