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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up in a Christan home. I accepted Christ when I was in second grade at VBS at Berean. I truly understood community among believers in high school and enjoyment in serving others. This is when I made my faith my own apart from my parents. God has continually shown me what his grace means, but has been very apparent in the last 4-5 years.

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

Ushering at Berean Lakeville- <1 year
Leading Bible study- as a couple and individually 2-3 years?
Junior High Youth group leader at Pleasant valley church Winona. 1-2 years
Berean Baptist Burnsville- mission trips, leading small groups, other service projects

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

Marrying Alyssa

Having kids

Becoming involved in youth group in 10th grade

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:

Battle of lust

Continual conflict between me and my parents

working through nurse strike for what I believed in
