Everyone "hears" different internal messages, but each type often hears similar messages. Jon Acuff calls these "soundtracks." One of the ways to defeat these messages are to "flip the script," by replacing what we hear with a new, positive message. Do you resonate with these messages?

One of the questions that sometimes come up in coaching using tools like the Enneagram is why we should spend time looking at ourselves. In fact, this is often an objection to Enneagram coaches in churches, claiming that...

Our personality is something that has been given to us by God, but it also is shaped by our life's experiences and upbringing. We often use our personality to deal with situations, how we handle life and express ourselves. Depending on our emotional and spiritual health, it can help us or harm us.

The enneagram is just a tool. It does more than just tell us what our personality type is, but it gives us resources to know ourselves better. It has been likened to an internal GPS system, in that it helps us recognize the behaviors and attitudes that rise up in us when we are either healthy, on autopilot or unhealthy. Beth McCord calls this "the rumble strip" that helps us identify when we're veering away from living out our identity in Jesus.

Our only freedom is found in Jesus and the finished work on the cross. We have been called to walk free from shame, condemnation and fear. As we explore our personality, there will be times we won't like what we see there, especially as we learn the core motivations of our personalities.

But the important key to remember is that because our identity is found in being God's beloved child, chosen and forgiven, we do not have to feel bad about what is in our heart, because God loves us unconditionally. He is redeeming our heart, which means he will take all that is wrong and bring glory out of it. We have to be willing to look at ourselves, non-judgmentally, in the light of grace and the Gospel, to begin real change and growth.

Let us memorize and pray this prayer often, if not every day:
"Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life." (Psalm 139:23-24 NLT)

If you need to know your type or want to jump start into this conversation, check out the website below, and take the free test. (You will be signed up for some email follow-ups, which you can opt-out of later if you are not interested in them.)

Tests are only about 80% accurate in typing individuals, but is a great bouncing off point.

If you would, after you take the test, either leave a comment or post letting us know your type, or if you prefer, you can send me a private IM. I would love to help you learn more about yourself!
