Today we’re talking about the Enneagram and how it can help us grow in our relationships. For those of you not familiar with the enneagram test, it’s a personality assessment that helps us understand our emotions and motivations at a deeper level. It also helps us understand and connect with the people we love, whether that’s a friend or our family, our coworkers or our spouse. That’s why I’m so excited my new friend Meredith Boggs to the show today. Meredith is an expert when it comes to the Enneagram and is the author of the book, The Journey Home; A Biblical Guide to Using the Enneagram to Deepen Your Faith and Relationships. In this episode, Meredith provides an overview of each Enneagram type, as well as each type’s core emotions, stress and security expressions, and primary defense mechanisms. Meredith also explains what the enneagram is (and what it’s not), and how it can serve as an effective tool for emotional health, empathy, and discipleship.
