RelateBetter presents: The EnneaCast

To be loved, we must be known. And being known means understanding our identity - who we are and where we came from. But, as with all things, this identity gets derailed by sin. Jesse and Lindsey talk with Enneagram coach Lisa Vischer about Ego Identity - a false identity we create connected to our personality. They discuss the three ways we try to protect this identity, as well as how to move back into our true identity in Christ. This episode is part 1 of 2. Hear the rest of the conversation in Episode #61.

Can the Enneagram Types be found in the Bible? Jesse and Lindsey talk with pastor AJ Sherrill, author of The Enneagram for Spiritual Formation, about a helpful way to use the Enneagram when looking at scripture - not simply to type characters, but to grow in wisdom and right living. They look at one specific Biblical character for each of the Nine Types, as well as an application verse for that Type. The crew then plays You’ve Got Problems, where AJ has to choose between turning into a bulldog or being stranded on a desert island. Everyone also answers listener questions about Biblical Narratives and the Enneagram.

God tells us to love him with our heart, our head and our body. But sometimes we lean too heavily in one direction. Jesse and Lindsey talk with Clare Loughrige, author of Spiritual Rhythms for the Enneagram, about Harmony Triads - a roadmap that can help integrate heart, head and body together. They look at each Type’s Harmony Triad numbers, as well as ways to grow in your non-dominant number. The gang then plays What’s Your Number, where Clare gives her philosophy on potlucks. Everyone also answers listener questions about Harmony Triads.

Should you Type your kids? How soon can you introduce them to the Enneagram? How does your personality impact the way you parent? Jesse and Lindsey bring on Beth McCord from Your Enneagram Coach to discuss what she calls Enneagram-Enhanced Parenting. They look at the strengths and weaknesses of all 9 Types as parents, and how the Gospel has a word for you, no matter your parenting style. The trio also plays a round of Type Detective, where Beth reveals her true feelings about being in nature. Everyone also answers listener questions about the Enneagram and parenting.
