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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Started going to church when I was a child. I was healed of an incurable disease at a church revival. Attending church with my mom on and off again. Believed I was saved when I was young but made a true commitment to God at another revival when I was 17.

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

Degree in Theology. Attending International Bible College for 4 years.

Sunday School Superintendent at Abundant Life in the early 90’s. Stepped down of my own free and chose to walk a path not pleasing to God.

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

God’s healing in my life.

Seeing God’s hand in people’s lives.

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:

Been through a lot of loss (family/relationship).

Alcohol/drug abuse.

Guilt/Shame – but understanding God’s forgiveness and love has been an outstanding impact on my life.
