In this engaging conversation, Jo Saxton, a Type 8 leader known for her emotional depth, explores authenticity and vulnerability in leadership. Carlos Whitaker, a Type 9 storyteller, shares his childhood experiences and the drive for harmony. They reflect on how their Enneagram types shape their core motivations and influence their lives today. Both guests highlight how their understanding of themselves through the Enneagram and faith enriches their connections with others, emphasizing the importance of embracing identity and navigating conflict.

Responses to the mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas, have continued, and there’s renewed hope for policy changes. This week, Jo Saxton joins Phil and Skye as a guest co-host to discuss a series of articles from African-American and global Christian leaders about the need to rethink both America’s gun policies and the American church’s gun culture. Then, BibleProject co-founders, Jon Collins and Tim Mackie, talk with Skye about how their work has shifted from just teaching what’s in the Bible to teaching people how to read the Bible. Their new app and podcast series is designed to help us see the Bible as brilliant literature, and not just a depository of quick answers to life’s problems. Also this week, should we be concerned that more people are having wedding ceremonies to marry themselves?
