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

Born and raised Catholic. Moved to NYC, stopped attending Catholic mass, and realized I didn’t really know what I wanted in religion. Went through a difficult time and found that what I was missing was God and that He would forgive me and still loved me. Accepted Jesus and started to make my faith a regular part of my life. Now here I am, still working to deepen my faith every day.

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

Church musician for almost 10 years at various Catholic Churches in and around Louisville, KY

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

Marrying my wife who helped lead me back to church

The birth of our son

The birth of our daughter

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:

Dealt with sexual addiction

I’ve been very fortunate to not have to deal with a lot of negative experiences
