In this episode, the team discusses the sometimes polarizing Enneagram personality test! They discuss using the Enneagram as a tool and not condemning it or treating it as the same authority of Jesus. The team considers how using the Enneagram as a tool can help us to have language for sin and see our need for Jesus. They also identify Paul’s Enneagram number and see the ways it can be helpful in our lives.
Each episode features a leading question, quote of the week, and a Growing Together segment intended to help imperfect leaders to grow.
Quote of the Week:
The quote comes from an article from Christianity Today by John Starke titled: An Evangelical’s Guide to the Enneagram. He writes, “The strength of the Enneagram is that it exposes where we might need healing and what vices might be causing division with others and even within ourselves. As Christians, we use the Enneagram as a tool to find healing not by becoming our true selves but by finding ourselves more truly in Christ. And we become more virtuous not by authenticity but by imitation.”
