The Enneagram with Beth McCord | Ep. 56 - a podcast by Emma Koch
from 2020-04-01T12:00
Beth McCord from Your Enneagram Coach joins us to discuss the Enneagram and how it can enhance our walk with the Lord. She explains how our core motivations are fulfilled only with Jesus Christ and clarifies misconceptions about the Enneagram. It was so great to talk with Beth and glean from her knowledge of the different personality types and how they interact.

Noteworthy quotes:
“What we want to recognize is to give ourselves a lot of grace and compassion.” - 29:36
“First and foremost our identity is in Christ and what he says about us.” - 36:29
“Put your hope in Christ. The work is finished; it’s all OK.” - 39:35
Questions for consideration:
- Whether you know your enneagram type or not, which of the core motivations (fear, desire, weakness, longing) tend to motivate you? What steps can you take to reorient your motivations toward Christ?
- How can you be aware when you’re ‘travelling off course’ (i.e. becoming an unhealthy version of you) and what reminders can you put in place to realign yourself with the gospel’s truth?
