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

My parents took me to church and have raised me to be a part of the church. I have been a Christian since a young age.

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

I have helped with VBS in 2018 and in 2019

I have helped with the YDC summer camps since 2016

I am a part of the youth leadership team.

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

I read a book called Everyone’s a Theologian and that really helped me grow in my knowledge of God and helped explain biblical truths.

Over the past year and a half I have been trying to read the bible from cover to cover. This has certainly helped me better know bible passages and the contexts of those passages and has certainly helped me grow in my faith.

Being raised in a Christian family and being instilled with biblical values.

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:

Freshman year of High School I used to sit by myself at lunch. That has given me compassion for those who sit by themselves or those who are lonely.
