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

I grew up in church with my grandparents and had been exposed to the good news by them and by the leaders in my life at the church. When I was 12 years old, during summer camp, I heard the call of the Holy Spirit and gave my life to Christ.

I served as a deacon at Crawford Baptist Church in Semmes, AL from 2018-2022

Growing up with my grandparents and the positive spiritual background they gave me, helped shape me as a young Christian.

I got the chance to play baseball for Mike Jacobs at the University of Mobile and he was a hug impact on me spiritually and wanting to get into the coaching profession.

Seeing one of my best friends live Christ out loud and dying at a young age of 21, made me realize that pursuing Christ daily is the only way to experience true peace.

Watching my parents both struggle with sickness and addiction made me want to live life helping people and attaching to Christ and His principles.

Working for a negative demeaning coach has pushed me to be a positive role-model to young people.

Watching my parents fight and verbally abuse each other has pushed me to love my wife with compassion and sympathy.
