Dr. Griffin and Dr. Terence Chatmon, discuss how to embark on a journey to discovering and building a better YOU!

Many people desire to improve their lives, particularly their relationships; however, few are willing to make the necessary changes to see lasting results.

Do you like who you are?
Do you like the person you are becoming?
Do you believe that your life now is what God had in mind when He created you?
Are you constantly in conflict with your spouse, children, extended relatives, co-workers, and friends?
How can you express yourself in a non-defensive and non-threatening way so that those with whom you have personal and professional relationships better understand you?

As a pastor, spiritual director, and relationship coach, Pastor Griffin has taught the Enneagram to numerous colleagues, church lay leaders, congregations, not-for-profits, schools, businesses, and community service organizations in the last decade.

Since January 2000, Dr. Griffin has served as the Senior Pastor of the Oakdale Covenant Church of Chicago, Illinois. Under Dr. Griffin’s visionary leadership, Oakdale continues to be recognized as a haven of hope and spiritual transformation in the community and has become known as “A Great Church, with Great People, Serving a Great God.”
