I am excited to kick off our Enneagram series! A few months ago, I put out an instagram poll, asking what you most wanted to hear on the podcast in the future, and the overwhelming majority of you said you’d love a series on the Enneagram... So, here it is!

In case you are unfamiliar with the Enneagram, it is a personality typing system that can help us better understand ourselves, others, and our relationship with God. It is a tool to keep in our tool belt to help us understand our motivations, fears, and desires. Enneagram coach Beth McCord describes it like an X-ray. It can help us see what is under the surface, revealing areas of strength and weakness, but it is not the instrument of healing. Only God can bring about restoration and healing… but I do believe that the enneagram is one of many tools and resources that God can use to help us as we pursue wholeness in Jesus.

Today on the podcast, my friend, Karissa Harrison is here.

Karissa is an Executive Pastor and Certified Enneagram Coach who is passionate about helping leaders use the Enneagram and spiritual formation practices to execute a plan for personal and spiritual growth. She has served in pastoral ministry for over 16 years, and enjoys every opportunity to serve individuals and teams through coaching, consulting, and spiritual direction. She's been married to Ryan, they have 3 school age kids, and live in Murrieta, CA. She prefers a great book to Netflix and quiet conversations over large crowds.

Karissa provided a link to an amazing Enneagram assessment, and I highly encourage you to check it out: https://coach.yourenneagramcoach.com/karissa-harrison
