The Enneagram 4 Podcast

Leadership and Church Belonging with Enneagram 4 Alexa Jones


Listen Later

Alexa and her husband, Eric Jones, are co-lead pastors of Valley Family Church in Kalamazoo, Michigan where leadership recently transitioned from Eric's parents, founding senior pastors Jeff and Beth Jones. In this episode, Alexa offers an example of what it can look like to find true healing within those tender places of our personality, which has not only brought peace within herself, but has also set her apart as a leader who is safe and worth trusting.


Enneagram 4's typically see themselves as fundamentally different than others yet we long to be seen for who we are and to belong. Alexa shares her response to feelings of being misunderstood which has ultimately allowed her to lead from a place of confidence and humility rather than from a place of wanting to be seen. We also discuss why the church needs 4 leaders and how the gifts of the 4 uniquely reflect essential elements of Gods heart and nature. In wrapping up the episode, Alexa offers beautiful advice and practical steps that people can take to find their place in a church body.


In the words of Maya Angelou, "You are only free when you realize you belong no place - you belong every place - no place at all. The price is high. The reward is great.".
