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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I have one of the “boring” stories – I grew up in the church and was saved as a child. I was not actively involved in a church during college, but after getting married we began attending services regularly, began small groups and serving in different capacities in our congregation.

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

Vine Church – Carbondale, IL (2 years) Small group, discipleship communities

Grand Avenue Christian Church – Carbondale, IL (10 years), high school girls small group leader, women’s ministry leader, praise team, small group, Church Unique/vision setting team, nursery worker

Madison Park Christian Church – Quincy, IL (10 years) praise team/choir, nursery worker

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

Becoming a parent

The way God worked in our lives with a recent relocation

Youth group in junior high/high school

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:

Leaving a church and trying to find a new fit at another church

Marital struggle early in our marriage
