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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was raised in a Christian home and family (extended as well). I put my trust at the age of 12 when it finally hit me what it was that I had been learning from my parents and the church over the course of my young life.

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

Campus Crusade of Christ – student leadership over a span of 7 years. Utah State University, Logan, Utah. 1984-1991 during my undergrad, grad school, and post-grad years.

Denver Seminary. MA in Philosophy of Religion. 1992-1995. Teacher at Palo Verde Christian School, 1995-1997. Teacher at Arizona Bible College, 1995-1997.

Northwest Bible Church. Teacher, at times during 1995 to 2016. Elder from 2004 to 2016.

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

Marrying my wife of 30 years. Raising my four daughters. Coaching football and track.

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:

Becoming a person and family of no value to a church we had served at for over 20 years., but finding a new church home that has accepted us and loved us after the negative experience.

Losing a job/position several times, but always finding something better on the other side due to the providence of God.

Being thought of and used as just a number of many on a college athletic team.
