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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I came to know Jesus when i was 8 years old. I was a on a revival meeting on a Friday night that I answered God call to me.

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

Elder, teacher Cornerstone Church 6 plus years

Deacon, elder, teacher Community Bible Church, Beaufort 5years

Director of Awana at Grace Community Church, Hilton Head

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

Teaching Gods Word to Adults has helped to shape me into who I am today. I am comfortable to be able to do this.

Being part of the church leadership has helped me learn to be a more effective leader.

Going on several mission trips has helped me see the needs in other countries in a different way.

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:

Moving to another state was hard on our family but that move has been a wonderful thing that has helped us grow in Christ and be used in new ways.

At one time I listened to the advice of a friend and that advice was really not the Biblical way to do things. I have learned to be more open because of that.
