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

Went to church weekly with my grandparents. One week during benediction, something kept pulling at my heart and telling me to walk up to the pastor. It was that day that I was Saved and became a born again Christian.

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

Vacation Bible School Teacher Aide, Oak Grove Baptist, Springdale, Arkansas 1990-1993

Music Ministry (vocal and instrument), Oak Grove Baptist, Springdale, Arkansas 1992-1993

Youth Ministry, RLC Teacher Aide, MCCSA, San Antonio 2014-2015

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

Going to church with my grandparents

Admiring my parents through the years as they celebrate each wedding anniversary

Meeting my wife for the first time and finding out that we went to the same church, just different branches

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:

Went through a 12 step program

Went through abusive relationships

Had a strained relationship with my parents when I first came out
