Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Age 19 God finally broke through legalistic attempts to satisfy my religious hunger

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

River Oak Grace Community Church since 1997

Oakdale Church of the Nazarene – 1990-1997

Atwater Church of the Nazarene – 1986-1990

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

Drama classes in high school, speech class in college

Love of history and learning from excellent Junior High & Senior High teachers and exposure to great scholars online

Disciplined practices I began as a child for Bible reading, church involvement, school, money management, interacting with people

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:

Infertility, adoption, deep emotional grief, etc.

Workaholism and related family difficulties

Tendency to be a manipulator as teenage and people pleaser thereafter.
