Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

A travelling group called “Heaven’s Gates and Hell’s Flames” convinced me to act now

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

Colony Creek Community Church, Missouri City, TX – facilities assistant

Church of The Springs, DS – facilities work and groundskeeper
Cowboy Church of the Hill Country – limited facilities work

Gateway Bible Church, DS – build live-edge, cedar/mesquite pulpit with turquise inlay. Austin Ridge, DS – stage hand

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

Studying “The Mind of Christ” with a group of men. Attending Promise Keepers. Participating in Mens Group at COTS and BBCDS.

Marrying the woman whom I believe God sent and seeing us both transform our home into a Christian home.

Serving in the church and experiencing the blessings and joy it brings.

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:

Marrying a woman without God’s involvement and the resulting train wreck.

Thinking it’s ok to just be a church-attending Christian.
