Join me as I talk with Hunter Mobley about his new book, Letting Go, Finding You. We discuss how Hunter teaches spirituality with the Enneagram, pitfalls with using the enneagram, and we get into some specifics around 6's and 2's. 

Hunter Mobley was introduced to the ancient personality wisdom tool, the Enneagram, years ago when he met master Enneagram teacher, Suzanne Stabile.
Hunter completed a multi-year old-fashioned apprenticeship with Suzanne as formation for his Enneagram teaching at conferences, retreats, corporate events, and churches. Hunter is a teacher at Suzanne and Joe Stabile’s teaching center, The Micah Center, in Dallas, Texas. Hunter is the former Executive Pastor at Christ Church Nashville, home of the Grammy-nominated Christ Church Choir. In addition to his Enneagram teaching, he serves as Chief Culture Officer at Equitable Trust Company in Nashville and teaches as professor of estate planning at Nashville School of Law.

With degrees from Davidson College (B.S.), University of Kentucky (J.D.), and New York University (LL.M.), Hunter combines experience and insights from ministry, academia, and business as he teaches the Enneagram.

Hunter’s Enneagram devotional, 40 Days on Being a 2, was released by InterVarsity Press in October 2020, and his newest book, Letting Go, Finding You: Uncover Your Truest Self Through the Enneagram and Contemplation, was released by Broadleaf Books in May 2025. Link to book: https://www.broadleafbooks.com/store/product/9798889831655/Letting-Go-Finding-You
