S2E02: Discovering the 9 Enneagram Types: Strengths, Struggles, and Faith

02: In this episode, Paul takes a deep dive into all nine Enneagram types—revealing how each type’s core motivations, strengths, and struggles can shape the way we live, love, and follow God. From the Perfectionist’s drive to do things right, to the Peacemaker’s longing for harmony, each number offers both unique gifts and unique challenges.   Paul unpacks:   The defining traits, mottos, and anxieties of each type (1–9).   Why people with the same Enneagram number can look very different depending on wings, social preferences, spiritual gifts, and emotional health.   How the Enneagram can help you name your gifts, confront your struggles, and surrender your vices to God.   Whether you identify as a Perfectionist, Helper, Achiever, Artist, Thinker, Loyalist, Enthusiast, Challenger, or Peacemaker, this conversation shows how the Enneagram is not a magic formula but a trusted framework for self-knowledge, discipleship, and transformation.   This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the Enneagram more deeply and apply it as a tool for spiritual growth.   Additional Resources:  The Enneagram Made Easy by Renee Baron & Elizabeth Wagele The Road Back to You by Ian Morgan Cron & Suzanne Stabile The Story of You by Ian Morgan Cron The Path Between Us by Suzanne Stabile The Journey Toward Wholeness by Suzanne Stabile The Enneagram: A Christian Perspective by Richard Rohr & Andreas Ebbert The Sacred Enneagram by Christopher Heuertz Personality Types by Don Richard Riso & Russ Hudson The Enneagram of Emotional Intelligence by Scott Allender
