#1 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (90%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I want to encourage others who may be facing difficulties and confusing times because I’ve been through my share. This is where I had no other choice, but to lean on the Lord and thank goodness He’s always there. I enjoy relating to others, building them up with God’s truth, and pointing them to Christ.

#2 Gift, Evangelism (87%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I do enjoy sharing Jesus, but I’ve learned it comes more natural to me in one on one situations when God presents the opportunities versus me going out and looking for them.

#3 Gift, Giving (84%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I haven’t done the best job of tithing throughout my life, but I recently began to tithe faithful at the beginning of this year and I never want to go back.

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

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
