Your Primary was ‘The Otter’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

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 was raised in a church-going family with solid parents and put my faith in Christ at age eight and was baptized at age twelve.

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

I’ve served as an adult Sunday class leader and teacher in the past and also been involved in a contact / outreach / follow-up ministry. I’ve also help lead a men’s small group / men’s ministry.

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

I participated in a three-week mission trip to the former Soviet Union in 1991 that was absolutely life-changing. God opened many doors and allowed us to bring forbidden Russian-language bibles with us. To this day, this experience reminds me that God’s always in control.

The birth of my children was another positive experience that helped form who I am today.

The way God arranged my meeting and marrying my spouse has also made a huge impact on me and is a constant reminder of God’s goodness and mercy.

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:

The loss of my sister at a young age shaped me in many ways but was also an example of how God’s people come together in difficult times.

Experiencing past health problems have also shaped me and have helped me develop a reliance on God in all things.

Going through an unexpected divorce also shaped me and helped me develop a tender heart for others. My heart breaks for those who are in recovery from this type of pain.

Wrapping It Up

Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those
