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

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

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

I was convicted of my sin and ultimate trajectory of my soul as a young man. After making Jesus Lord of my life I have continued to see His mercy’s and the purpose of my salvation and life on this earth clearer and clearer throughout the years.

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

Never served in a Ministry Role outside of Life / Small groups and teen ministry.

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

The Father that I had growing up Loved Jesus.

The Men in my life outside of my father Loved Jesus.

The wife that God has given me has truly made the single largest impact on my adult life outside of Christ.

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:

Having addiction issues.

Realizing the poor doctrine of my childhood church and relying on God’s word and guidance to find a new church.

Observing my parents marriage fail throughout my childhood.
