#1 Gift, Evangelism (100%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I am more recently saved, and was not raised Christian and identified as an atheist for a large portion of my life. And so, I feel that I understand non-believers in a way that may allow me to relate to them more than people who have been believers for the majority of their lives, or were raised to be. This understanding and sharing my testimony has shown to plant seeds in non-believers, including my friends who are non-believers.

#2 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (87%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I seem to have that “new Christian” effect on people who have strayed. I remind them of the glory of God through my testimony. I may not have scripture memorized verbatim, but I internalize scriptures so that I can communicate them in ways that people may not have thought about previously. I think this helps people who may be jaded to the “rules” aspect see that Jesus is after our hearts and is focused on the relationship, and the stronger the relationship, the easier it is to obey. For His strength is made perfect in our weakness.

#3 Gift, Giving (84%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Nothing I have is mine. It is God’s. Therefore, I give whatever the Holy Spirit convicts me to give, and I do it to His glory.

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

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
