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

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 grew up in the church and in a strong Christian family. I did all the “things” growing up – church on Sunday, church camp every summer, baptized in junior high, involved with church family, etc. In college, I really began to develop the individual ownership and decision of continuing to walk in faith and grow as an individual rather as continue to be “connected to my family’s faith”. College is when I made a personal decision that the way I was raised is how I want to continue to grow and develop my life.

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

Fairmount United Methodist Church (Fairmount, IN) – various service for about 18 years

Trinity Church (Fishers, IN) – social media for awaken, pictures for Trinity church, served communion

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

My time as a student at Indiana Wesleyan University

Began working at Lawrence North HS

Move to Fishers

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:

Death of both of my grandpas

Injuries – this gives me compassion in my job
