Routine

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

[E]xperience

my best friends mother prayed with me at a sleepover when i was 6 ,and then i needed to recommit my life at 19

As a PK I’ve helped with just about everything and grew up in the sound booth.
As an adult I served as a youth leader, usher, softball coach, gym teacher at the churches school, and trustee under Pastor Guy Miller at Heritage Christian Church in Falmouth, MA.
Moved to this church when I was 9, served there till 2007

Property Manager under Pastor Steve Hawley at Faith Assembly of God, Hyannis, MA.
Also helped with sound, men’s ministry, counting offering, and anything physical that needed to be done (from sewage backups to security needs on a Sunday. Or simple needs such as coffee and bulletins) .
one of my biggest impacts was working with gay men and getting them to come to church by building relationships with them at the gym
