February 25, 2021: Enneagram

You have heard a lot about this over the past few weeks, and you will hear about it one more time. Last night was our first session of learning about the Enneagram using the book, “The Road Back to You.” A friend of mine, David Ronka, and myself are hosting this every Wednesday, during Lent, from 7-8pm on Zoom. The reason why I am sharing it with you again, is that last night exceeded our expectations. We were planning on having approximately 20 people join us and if it was really anticipated, we might have 30. As it turned out, 35 people were on zoom! David and I felt great energy from people as they were ready and motivated to learn more about who they are and their motivations behind their actions and personality.

If you were hoping to join and weren’t able to, for whatever reason, it is not too late. If you decided this wasn’t for you, but now you are having second thoughts, it is not too late. You can join us next week. In order to get caught up, do the following.

  1. Buy the book “The Road Back to You: An Enneagram Journey to Self Discovery” on amazon or another bookseller. https://www.amazon.com/Lead-When-Where-Youre-Going/dp/1538127679
  2. Watch the “Introduction to the Enneagram” video that David and I put together. It is 20 minutes long. https://youtu.be/Vrz2fgtZZrI
  3. Read Ch. 1 and 2 in the book and take an online test.
  4. Go to https://www.eclecticenergies.com/enneagram/test-2 (Remember to click on "test 2". If the link does not work for you try this one instead. https://www.truity.com/test/enneagram-personality-test a. Answer the questions as best you can without overthinking (should take about 10-15 minutes) b. The results will be ranked from highest to lowest in terms of your number -- make a note of your top 3 numbers
  5. Read the chapter for your top number (and if you want to go further, can also read the chapters your second and third number). Or if you are doing this with someone, ask about their results and read their number.
  6. Join us next week on zoom! Each week, we will utilize the breakout rooms on zoom to talk about what we are learning, David and I will create another video introducing new information and then we will go to breakout rooms again to begin to process it. It is that simple. We hope you can join us.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask.

Grace and Peace,

Pastor Tim
