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

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 grew up in a christian home. It became apparent to me in 5th grade that the Lord was my Savior and I accepted him.

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

Pureheart, Glendale, Arizona , Tech Team/Missions/Small Group Teacher, 3 years

Centerpoint, Orem, Utah, Tech Team/President of Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, 3 years

The Journey, Lehi, Utah, Tech Director/Church planter, 2 years

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

Moving to Utah to help plant The Journey as a young 19 year old. It allowed me to leave a bad situation and focus/trust in God’s plan.

Moving to Arizona from California as 12 year old. I went from a christian school in CA to a public school in AZ. It opened my eyes to the secular world and I believe it allowed me to grow and truly understand those around me.

Becoming involved with Intervarsity in college. It taught me how to truly live in Christian fellowship with one another.

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:

Getting into a fraternity my freshman year. I started drinking and partying a large amount and it brought me down a horrible path. Luckily after a couple years God pulled me from that lifestyle.

Having to live with two roommates that I was in constant turmoil with. It taught me to try and see things from others points of view and to try to sympathize with others.

Taking a job that I should not have and ending up hating it. God had a clear path for me, but I decided to take my own path even though I could see it was not the right one.

Wrapping It Up

Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those

3. To be able to open a housing location for homeless familes that would provide them with shelter, food, and training to find jobs .
