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

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I decided to search the things of God out. I told myself if God and the story of Jesus were real, then the only reasonable response would be to completely surrender my life to Him and sell out (all in).

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

Teaching; Preaching; One on one ministering; Prayer groups; Bible Study; Food distribution; Street ministry

Associate Pastor (Interm Lead Pastor)

Youth Group; Usher; Sound Board

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

One on one time with God

Intimacy with God; Worshiping Him

Reading the Word of God

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:

My wife getting pregnant by another man

Brother dying and presumably going to hell

Being accused of something I didn’t do; character assassination/slander

Everyone Else After those
