Listen Later

What can we all glean from the 12 Steps? John Ortberg and I share an insightful conversation about the transformative power of the 12 steps for everyone. John, an Enneagram 3, begins by sharing his unique insights into the Enneagram and how it intersects with the journey of personal growth and spiritual development. Then, we dig into the 12 steps as a way of living.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • The significance of the 12 steps as a design for living that can benefit everyone, not just those struggling with addiction.

  • John's personal experiences with the Enneagram and how it has shaped his understanding of himself and his relationships.

  • The relationship between willpower and grace, and how surrendering to a higher power can lead to profound transformation.

  • The importance of community and fellowship in the journey of recovery and spiritual growth.

Whether you're familiar with the 12 steps or new to the concept, this conversation promises to offer valuable insights that can revolutionize your life. Don't miss out on this opportunity to explore the depths of human experience and the path to deeper intimacy with God.
