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

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was invited to a Christian hip hop concert by my block. I heard the gospel shared via music and then via word. I didn’t fully understand the gospel until much later but it was that moment where i realized i wanted a different life than i was currently living.

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

I served in my former church Resurrection a Christian Center in a variety of ways. I served as a sound technician (10 years), youth leader (3 years), piano player (1year), vacation bible school teacher (4 years).

I served as a campus Staff Minister with InterVarsity for 4 years.

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

Leading change in evangelistic temperature at the campus i serve at with InterVarsity

Receiving prophetic words for people who later received emotional and spiritual healing because of it

Receiving coaching as a speaker and preacher

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:

Not being affirmed as a campus minister by my church

Being told to sit down when i wanted to pray for others

Seeing ministry gravely impacted after a family left the church
