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

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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was 21. I had made a bid enough mess of my life I was willing to try following Jesus. He has led me ever since.

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

Teaching community groups at PV 15+\- years. Also churches in Norman, OK, Casper, WY, and Cheyenne, WY (8-10 Years).

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

Influence of my wife.

Influence of a tremendous friend and mentor while I lived in Oklahoma.

Having to depend on God during a couple of times of great financial distress.

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:

Being unemployed with four small children, no food in the house and having people show up unexpectedly with bags of groceries.

Having resigned from my job to take another job in a distant state and having the job offer withdrawn. The job I left had a hiring freeze.. My last day was a Friday, I had a new job on Monday.

Owing $1.2 million dollars and being near bankruptcy (and three months behind on my house payments) and experiencing God’s deliverance.
