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

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I came to know Jesus through the relationships and biblical truth shared with me at summer camp as a kid and middle schooler.

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

I served at a Christian summer camp for 3 years in various leadership roles.

I interned at two churches in seminary in youth ministry and general ministry.

I served as an associate pastor for youth and Christian education for 8 years and as a solo pastor for 8 years.

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

I worked as a door-to-door salesman in college and it taught me persistence.

I worked at a summer camp for three years and I learned true servant leadership.

I’ve served a church that is open to new ideas, experimentation, and failure for the past 8 years and it has taught me to rely on God at work in the world.

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:

My dad died when I was 14.

I faced bullying as a kid that gave me a heart for the oppressed.

I struggled to pass one of my ordination exams and learned humility and persistence.
