[H]eart

Three things I love to do that bring joy and fulfillment in my life:

1. Producing videos

2. Communicating through stories or well crafted text that makes people connect

3. My friends and family that do life together

Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

I don’t really have a specific group of people that I feel lead to. But if I had to choose I would say young adults.

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

The thing that concerns me, is the fact that ministries see the business side of ministry as evil and “un-godly” because of this there are many ministries that don’t make it and it is the people they serve who suffer. I see too much mis-management in the church.

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

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
