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

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

At the age of 15, I needed to know how and why we existed. God the Creator and Jesus the Savior resonated with me.

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

Youth leader and sponsor (15 years), Bible study leader (25 years) Sound/Tech (25 years), Men’s Ministry Coordinator (3 months) Deacon (20 years) – Clear Creek

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

Being mentored by Frank Frye and Lyndon Faul in my late teens and early 20’s

Being married to the most Godly and loving human in the world!

Being raised by parents whose commitment to each other was unwavering

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:

Having a brother who led a troubled life. Involved in drugs, alcohol, etc which led to multiple incarcerations and eventual death at 36 yo

Losing my “dream job” due to employer’s bankruptcy

Losing a close friend and colleague to ALS

Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

  • Your Kids Second
  • Everyone Else After those
