Napkin Notes with Elizabeth Evans

15. Ian Morgan Cron: What Errand Is God Calling You to Run?


Listen Later

Have you ever felt stuck in a pattern of behavior you just can't seem to break? In this episode, I sit down with Ian Morgan Cron, author, therapist, and Enneagram expert, to explore how the 12 steps of recovery can offer a path to transformation for everyone - not just those struggling with substance abuse.

Think: People Pleasers, Approval Seekers, Overthinkers.

Ian shares his personal journey of overcoming alcoholism and how it led him to become a therapist and author. But even more than that, we talk a lot about his upbringing because Ian has the most interesting stories (like when he was a jingle singer in New York in the 80s). 

We chat about:

  • Ian's perspective on finding your life's purpose without the pressure of one perfect calling
  • How admitting powerlessness (and God’s all powerful nature) can actually be the first step to freedom
  • Why the 12 steps aren't just for addiction recovery, but for any unhealthy attachment
  • The importance of spiritual practices like centering prayer in personal growth
  • The impact of key figures in our lives growing up

Whether you're curious about the 12 steps or simply looking for a fresh approach to personal growth, this conversation offers valuable insights on breaking free from limiting patterns and embracing transformation.
