Today is the day we get to talk all things enneagram over on the podcast with my friend and enneagram coach, Chelsea Bastoky! If you’re unsure of what the enneagram is, the enneagram is a self- awareness tool that helps us understand how God wired us and where parts of our personalities can trip us up, or help us grow. This episode will give a quick look of what it is and how it is (and is NOT) helpful, but instead of an overview of the nine types and how they each work, this is a deeper look into parts of the enneagram that are often misunderstood such as wings, triads, and what it means to act out of stress and growth.
If might be helpful if you’re not as familiar with the enneagram to pause, and seek out one of the resources in the show notes to get you caught up on what it is. OR pull up a chair and take a deep dive with us and learn along the way. Chelsea does such a fantastic job breaking down big concepts and portraying them in tangible pictures of application. I love her heart for the Gospel and to encourage others to grow in to who God has made you to be.
During this time where many of
us feel overwhelmed and isolated, this could be the perfect time to
unpack how God made you and what habits you have developed to
respond to the world around you. Chelsea has created an incredible
resource where she breaks down what she discusses with us in this
episode as a free download! (Thank you, Chelsea!) You can find ways
to download that here. Since most of us are
having to move our conversations to video and phone chatting as it
is, let me also suggest that Chelsea offers her coaching services
via those same resources and it would be a worthwhile and timely
investment.
My ultimate prayer is that today someone walks away from this knowing that God made them to be who they are on purpose. We all have room to grow, and these kinds of tools can help us find ways to do just that. You are worth the work, friend.
