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 always knew Jesus was the Son of God (intellect) but never surrendered my life to Him until I came to almost utter ruin. The Holy Spirit guided me to an inner-city mission where I realized I could make a difference but first needed Christ in my life.

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

Missionary – Baltimore, MD – 2 years

Youth Pastor, Bonifay, FL, and Dothan, AL – 2 years

Worship Leader, Dothan, AL, and Blairsville, GA 7 years (presently serving)

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

Marriage

Birth of my daughter

Brownsville Revival (witnessing the Holy Spirit & a counterfeit spirit operating side by side and recognizing the gift of discernment at work)

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:

Addiction to pornography

Watching my brother die from cancer

Losing my job after 18 years
