  • Deconstructing our Faith with John Williamson | Episode 40
    Do you believe in what you believe because someone told you to, or because you really connect with it? Can you deconstruct your faith in order to strengthen it? Does your faith grow and evolve with you?
    In this podcast episode, Billy and Brandy Eldridge speak with John Williamson about deconstructing our faith.
    Meet John Williamson

    The Deconstructionists is a podcast about building new faith. It’s all about construction, but sometimes that means you have to deconstruct a little.

    Summary

    * Questions, not arguments
    * Living in faith

    Questions, not arguments
    On John and Adam’s Deconstructionist podcast, space is provided for people to ask questions without fearing judgment.
    For anyone who was brought up in a religious household, there comes a time when they reach a certain age that they start to question and they perhaps seek more understanding and guidance. However, this can be a stressful experience because there are conservative circles in the religious community that argue with and shun anyone who questions.
    But you guys don’t do that, you don’t take part in that, you don’t get into argument, you don’t get into ‘let’s debate to prove it for somebody’ but you’re doing it to expand your way of thinking and that’s what I appreciate. (Brandy Eldridge)
    Living in faith
    I think so many people, when they really take a look at their own faith journey, it seems very anxiety filled and I just don’t think it’s supposed to be that way. I think our relationship with God is supposed to be this relationship of love, joy, peace and grace you know, those positive words. (John Williamson)
    For John, living in faith is not meant to be something that makes you anxious or afraid or feel guilt-ridden. If that is your relationship with the Divine, then perhaps consider taking a deep-dive into why it is you feel that way, and what does that say about how you view God.
    Once you start going down this path, you can deconstruct your faith into something that moves and connects, and inspires you, instead of making you feel panicked or believing in fear.
    You know, I’m probably never going to have a suitable answer in this lifetime and that’s okay because there are some things we can hang our head on like the teachings of Jesus … I think we could do a better job of loving one another, loving your neighbor as yourself, taking care of the poor, sick and the marginalized and in doing that, that’s our best opportunity to get a glimpse of the essence of God’s character. (John Williamson)

    Summary

    * Is it okay to type your friends?
    * How to find your number in the three that you’ve narrowed it down to?
    * Arrows: where do people go when healthy or unhealthy
    * For my number, how do I move towards health?
    * How can people be the same number yet look different?

    Is it okay to type your friends?
    Usually, Jackie is against typing people other than yourself, however, if you are confident that you have a clear and strong understanding of all 9 enneagram types, their traits, downfalls and you are close enough to that person to make a decision based on their sincere motivations, try this:

    * Say to them: here is my thought, here is why, and here are some examples, take a test and we’ll look at it together, and only then will I type you.

    How to find your number in the three that you’ve narrowed it down to?
    Jackie recommends either then reading some books or finding a qualified coach to guide you through the rest of the process. A specifically trained person can pull out the distinct meaning from your language and life experience that you may otherwise miss.
    Arrows: where do people go when healthy or unhealthy
    What those arrows are is where you go in stress and health. Now, if you are a certain enneagram type, you don’t become the other number – same with wings – you are your number. When you’re healthy, you take on healthy attributes of a different type, and when you’re unhealthy you take on unhealthy attributes of a different type. (Jackie Coban)
    Where numbers go when healthy or unhealthy:

    * Type 1: in stress, they take on unhealthy attributes of type 4 and become moody and irrational. When they are healthy, they take on healthy attributes of type 7 and they embrace more and allow more room for fun.
    * Type 2: in stress, they take on aggressive, cut-throat unhealthy habits of type 8. In health, type 2 goes to type 4 and become more emotionally aware and nurturing.
    * Type 3: in stress, they act like unhealthy type 9s, becoming disengaged, apathetic. In health, they go to a healthy type 6 and become more cooperative.
    * Type 4: in stress, they go to an unhealthy type 2 and become clingy, codependent. In health,

    Summary

    * Gut center
    * Type 8: The Challengers
    * Type 9: The Peacemaker
    * Type 1: The Perfectionist

    Gut center
    People part of the gut center of intelligence draw on their own physical awareness and instinctual impulses. For the gut center, they struggle with anger and they desire justice.
    Type 8: The Challengers
    They are also nicknamed the ‘Dragons’ because they are very forward and direct in all the best ways possible. They’re tough and build trust in relationships through conflict.

    * Type 8’s are strong and tough, but they are determined to come off that way, which could also translate into that they are determined not to come off as weak.
    * If you have some Type 8’s in your life, it is good to consider ‘am I intimidated or are they intimidating me?’ when you interact with them to give you a deeper dive into the big energy situation. This is because they may act like bullies but in fact, they will do anything to protect those around them and they despise those who capitalize on other people’s weakness.
    * For Type 8’s, they live by the saying: the best defense is a good offense. However, they all have an inner child they also protect. Type 8’s may have felt that they had to grow up too quickly and so, therefore, cling to a piece of their childhood into adulthood.

    If you are friends with or in a relationship with a Type 8, know that they are not looking to fight with you but they want to see if you will stay in the fight alongside them.  For Type 8’s, do not assume everyone is out to get you, you can open up a little bit.
    Type 8’s repress their heart center, and that lack of vulnerability is what hides their perceived ‘lack’ of weakness.

    * Type 8’s motivation and tough love can be an incredible motivating factor for people around them. They push those they love to challenge themselves and go head-on into what they want.

    Type 9: The Peacemaker
    Also known as the Referee, they are highly gifted at seeing things from all sides although they can be stubborn. They like peace, harmony, and stability.

    Summary

    * Head center
    * Type 5: The Theorist
    * Type 6: The Loyal Skeptic
    * Type 7: The Enthusiast

    Heard center
    People who have their enneagram numbers in the head center analyses and rationalize information in a way that places focus on security, safety, and keeping options open.
    This triad, this center of intelligence, usually struggles with anxiety and really works for security in their own way. (Jackie Coban)
    Type 5: The Theorist
    They are highly intelligent, deep-researching people. They do not react, they respond. They are fact-based and highly cerebral people.

    * Typical goals of Type 5’s are to gain knowledge and preserve energy. This may make it look like they are introverts or have social anxiety, and sometimes they do, but for the most part, they collect information so as to not feel foolish or be made the fool for not knowing something.
    * Due to their thinking-intensive nature, they can be suspicious of constructs and of people but they are always looking for answers.

    Another aspect of Type 5’s is that they are incredibly emotionally detached however they do have a huge capacity and depth for emotions and are sensitive people. They can be moody at times, although their emotions do not have such stringent control over their perception since they strive to be fact-based people.
    Everything Type 5’s do stems from wanting to preserve energy:

    * They ration their energy from the very start of the day and place boundaries around their energy and do not allow many interruptions. Type 5s are very good at honoring boundaries, both yours and theirs.
    * Knowledge takes up less energy than feelings, therefore knowledge is the route they often turn to.

    Type 5’s deal with their fear through acquiring knowledge.
    Type 6: The Loyal Skeptic
    They have a strong need for order and consistency. They can be misunderstood as negative or against your plans, but they rather try to ring the alarm on possibly difficult things because they love us.
    They are similar to guardians, like lighthouses, and they experience anxiety and fret about what could go wrong as a way to protect the...

    Summary

    * Heart center
    * Type 2: The Helper
    * Type 3: The Achiever
    * Type 4: Individualist

    Heart center
    People who have their number in the heart center collection generally lead their lives through a feeling function. They use emotional awareness and focus on relationships and desired images because that comes straight from the heart. They can struggle with shame.
    The more well-balanced you are as a person, the trickIer it may be to find your number in the enneagram. Jackie recommends looking for the “loudest voice” in the chart when you are looking for your numbers by evaluating them to your life experiences.
    Heart desire: Significance and identity.
    Type 2: The Helper

    * They are highly intuitive and emotionally well developed within their interpersonal skills.
    * Sit with your partner if they are a type 2 and see what parts of the enneagram they identify with as this will give you good guidance to see how to support them in a way that will be unique and fully helpful to them.
    * Type 2’s feel like their value comes from helping people, and that is the way they can be loved.
    * Type 2’s repress their minds, their thinking center. They are usually more in tune with their emotive side than their rational side.

    Creating a safe space for them to express their needs is the best way to help them, to remove any space where they may feel shame for saying no. The type 2’s gift of giving and helping needs to be facilitated to curb it backfiring.
    If you think of yourself to be part of the Type 2 bracket, consider these questions:

    * Toleration and boundaries
    * How often do you jump into something before asking ‘is this mine to do’?

    Type 3: The Achiever

    * They are optimistic, resilient, and inspiring people.
    * They are front and center because they prefer to lead than follow.
    * Type 3s tend to focus on doing rather than being; they tend to ignore their emotions and place all their focus on their actions because they feel their worth is rooted in their successes.
    * The lack of vulnerability they have with their emotions tends to cause a mistrust with them,

    Summary

    * What is the enneagram?
    * Enneagram history

    What is the enneagram
    It is like a personality typing system.
    What I really like about it is it’s a road map to your essence, to this virtue inside of you. There’s a person at your core that your experience has not manipulated yet, the pain, the joy, the experiences of your life, there’s a person deep under there who is beautiful and flawless and pure and divine. What the enneagram does is says ‘here are the things that you are, here are the things you can be held back by, here are the lenses you need to work on to get to that divinity inside of you. (Jackie Coban)
    It boils people down to 9 main personality types and branches out from there. It discusses your core fears, your desires, your childhood wounds, the way you hear things from other people. It is essentially a road map to understanding yourself.
    Enneagram history
    It comes from pre-colonized South America. It is deeply rooted in culture and has been passed down through oral tradition over thousands of years.
    Since the enneagram has undergone a resurgence in recent years, it is sometimes warped to fit a new modern model and some people mistreat the wisdom behind the enneagram, however, at its core, the wisdom remains as potent as always.
    A piece of wisdom to remember when it comes to the enneagram; the personality type that hurts your feelings the most may be the one that belongs to you.

  • You are Worthy of Love and Belonging, with Dr. Kelly Flanagan | Episode 33
    How can parents navigate teaching their children about the strength of their true selves instead of only bolstering their false self in the ego? What does it mean to find strength in your true self? Can strength exist in multiple forms?
    In this podcast episode, Billy and Brandy Eldridge speaks with Dr. Kelly Flanagan about being worthy of love and belonging.

    Meet Dr. Kelly Flanagan

    Summary

    * The ego castle
    * Dr. Kelly’s advice to parents about shame
    * The ego is both essential and non-essential

    The ego castle
    Dr. Kelly Flanagan’s popular metaphor for the ego protecting the true self is explained through the motif of a castle. It has:

    * Walls to hide who we really are. Even in the best circumstances, these walls tend to come up around the 3rd or 4th grade.

    The ego walls are just the ways we begin to hide our uniqueness and the ways we hide things that might set us apart so that we can blend in and fly under the radar so that no one else will nail us. (Dr. Kelly Flanagan)

    * Ego canons: these are added around middle school and comprise the angry, more aggressive things we do. It comes from the idea that the best defense is a good offense, an intense action of the ego to protect the true self.
    * Ego throne, a place in the world where we feel good enough in the world by having established ourselves to feel good enough. Our jobs, popularity, wealth status can all be ego thrones.

    The problem is at some point we realize we’ve done it, we’ve arrived and now what? I’m lonelier than ever inside this ego castle, I feel more disconnected than ever … but every castle has a drawbridge, and every person has a choice at that moment to lower that drawbridge and have their true self walk out the false self and show up vulnerably and authentically in the world. (Dr. Kelly Flanagan)
    Dr. Kelly’s advice to parents about shame
    You probably will have shamed your children at some point, but it is nearly impossible not to do this to your kids, so there is no need to shame yourselves additionally for having passed on shame.
    You can offset this shame in your children by affirming the identity they have in a way that will help them to buffer other shame they may encounter later on in life.
    I think this is something we can be doing as parents on a consistent basis, is just thinking: what is the delightful thing about my kids?

    Summary

    * Being Beta is not the absence of confidence
    * What does an unhealthy Beta and Alpha look like?
    * Defining Beta and Alpha

    Being Beta is not the absence of confidence
    I think we have a spectrum. There’s the unhealthy Beta that tends to go self-pity, shame, passive aggressiveness, and there’s the overinflated Alpha who’s just ego driven, everybody-else-outta-the-way and doesn’t think of others, but when they both get healthy they look a lot like each other. They’re here in the middle and they embrace both sides of that confidence, that strength but also that emotional attunement. (Billy)
    What does an unhealthy Beta and Alpha look like?
    It all boils down to insecurities, and that it manifests in different ways:

    * For an insecure Alpha, this could manifest as showing off instead of showing up in your friend groups and relationships, and it is all about them.
    * For an insecure Beta, they become quiet, small, and shrink themselves because they feel less than.

    A healthy Beta can teach a healthy Alpha how to step back and observe their actions, be accountable for what they bring to the table, and to “clean their side of the street”. A healthy Alpha can show a Beta how to express their needs within a discussion, and not revert back to being agreeable all the time just to keep the peace.
    Defining Beta and Alpha
    An Alpha is someone who can be the leader of the pack very comfortably and a Beta is someone who supports the pack on the journey.
    So really Alpha and Beta are just constructs to describe personalities … it gave us a v...

    Emotion-focused therapy
    That’s really all therapy comes down to – we’re just human beings, helping other human beings find their way to healing. (Mindy Solomon)
