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

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

[E]xperience

I have been a believer since I was nine years old. The first time I heard the story of Jesus staying behind in Jerusalem when he was a child created an interest inside me to want to know more. I started to really asking more questions in Sunday School and really read the bible.

New Springfield Baptist Church 1971-1989 Siloam, Ga Member, Usher, and Youth Choir director

Pleasant Grove Baptist Church 1996-2001 Virginia Beach, VA Member, Choir, and Men’s Fellowship

Grace Baptist Church 2003-2017 Mount Vernon NY Member, and Men’s Fellowship

When I was in the Navy I had the chance to visit all the biblical sites in Israel. To see the actually places that Jesus had walked was an amazing experience.

The birth of my daughters. See God’s creations coming into the world definitely changed my life

The day my wife and I decide to become members of our current church. We had never been in a church environment that placed such a high emphasis on biblical learning.

The passing of my father and grandmother. These were two people who helped to sharp me into the man that I am today. Losing them showed me how to help others who are suffering for losing someone that they love.

Going through a divorce with my first wife. This was a hard time to see a relationship that you put your heart into and it doesn’t work out. However, it helped to me improve my ability to love my current wife. Now I am able to share both experiences with others.

My oldest daughter went through a period of deep depression. Just being there to hold her hand and listen to her issue. Helped us to create a stronger bond together.
