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

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I’ve battled addiction issues for all of my adult life. Two years ago, while in jail, I turned my life over to my Lord and Savior. I’ve since then been baptized and dedicated my life to serving Him and have felt called to doing so in full-time ministry. I’m now in my second year at God’s Bible School and College, working on my Bachelor’s in Biblical Studies/Ministry.

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

Deacon at Church of the Open Door in Sandy Valley, OH from 2018 to present.

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

Marrying my wife, Sarah

Raising my children

Graduating school
