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

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

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

I was raised in a Christian home and accepted Christ as my Savior at a very young age (around 4). Of course my understanding of what that means and my relationship with Christ has grown over time.

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

Awana leader as a teen/young adult- Sun and Shield Baptist Church

Camp counselor as a young adult-West Branch Camp, Gila Christian Ranch

Helped with youth ministry and children’s ministry (2012-2018) Northwest Bible Church

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

Moving to an Evangelical Free church as a young adult really changed my perspective on and understanding of the Christian life.

Working in group homes and with child welfare have shaped my perspective on society and the needs around us

Finding authentic Christians I can connect and be myself with.

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 raised in a very conservative church environment

A failed romantic relationship
