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

Grew up in the church in a Baptist Church and came to be a true Christian when I was 8 years old, really understood and accepted Jesus as my savior and Lord and was baptized afterwards.

Held small group with high school athletes praying for them, doing bible study, etc. from 2013-2016 when coaching at Cullman High school. Had activities at Cullman FUMC on occasion.

Served as an usher at various times during church services at Cullman FUMC from 2007-2018

Working for Cullman Parks & Recreation from 2009-2018 taught me how to be a servant and truly be the hands and feet for Christ, giving me lots of fulfillment and satisfaction.

Leading Discovery weekend as an adult volunteer and watching high school and middle school aged students commit their lives to god and totally surrender and let god take over.

Coaching Track and Cullman High school and also leading them through what they were dealing with in their life and spiritually as much as coaching them to success and reminding them to give god the glory. Amazing experience when my top in the state level athletes would be at biggest meets in the state and love on the other athletes and younger ones, set a great example, lead prayer with other athletes from across the state and give all glory back to God.
