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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

My wife challenged me to seek Biblical truth by reading it myself – I started in Matthew and had my eyes opened in the Sermon on the Mount.

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

Galilee Baptist Church, Denver, CO – Deacon for 4 years
Taught middle school & adult Sunday School – total of about 5 years

Galilee Baptist Church – on 2 occasions I was able to preach at the Denver Rescue Mission – a great experience

Bel Air Pres – Deacon – 3 years, Small Group Leader/Teacher – 8 years

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

Being drafted & sent to Vietnam – hated it and everything around it, but later realized it to be an enormously good thing, as it made me a better person

Meeting and marrying my wife, particularly because she was critical to my becoming a Christian

Having children (2 girls) – they taught me a lot about mercy and compassion

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:

Being drafted and sent to Vietnam – showed me how lucky I am to be a citizen of this country

Being let go from a business position – taught me a lot about self-analysis

Going bankrupt and losing our home, something I previously thought could never happen to me
