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 don’t really remember a moment, but was more of over time experience at a young age of about 8 that I loved going to church and the decision to get baptized at this age.

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

Youth ministry in Christadelphian Church for 2 Years

Children’s Ministry and Life Group Leader for 2 Years at Macquarie Life Church

Real Life Church Maitland
Children’s Ministry/ Men’s Ministry
Logistics Department Leader/ Life Group Leader/ Life Group Oversight
Eldership Team/ Ministry Team

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

Going out with a Church Planting Team

When going out with the church planting team I said to the Senior Pastor that I do whatever he asked which was very challenging, but was very rewarding to see what God was doing in Me

Being a department Leader for Logistics which included Welcome I conquered my fear of shyness and found a love for meeting new people

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:

Was being forced to learn a ministry that I didn’t believe in that was not biblical so I stepped out of the eldership team and stood on my convictions

When I offended someone and I didn’t even know it. Even though there was nothing wrong in what I said that I humbled myself to apologized to make it right

when working with other department leaders with different personalities it can be very frustrating, but looking at the big picture helped us through our differences and work well together
