Finding Ourselves to Find Others: The Enneagram Part Deux

The road to connection involves finding the truth about who each of us are. There are all sorts of tools out there that help identify our personalities, but how can these be useful in the sanctifying work of God in our lives? In this episode, Kevin and Paul continue their interview with Dr. Shannon Raikes and Enneagram Coach, Stacie Joiner, to learn from their experience working with the Enneagram and inner healing prayer. We hope you feel invited into greater self-exploration, which we believe will give you more grace with yourself and others. Ultimately, as we listen to the Lord about who we are, we move from isolation to greater connection.
