Out of the Box and Into the Wild: Nature Metaphors for Relationships w/Author Stephanie Spencer, 4 Jun 26, 2023

Show notes

Often we can make the mistake of completely defining others with unilateral Enneagram stereotypes, further expanding our differences, leaving us not only in the box of our type, but in the shadows of relationships. In this new episode just for you, author and expert Stephanie Spencer invites us into a more adventurous yet intimate journey through our styles of interaction using the broader lens of nature metaphors by type (Did you know, for instance, 4s can be like an iceberg at times as well as an octopus?) Join us as we sit with beautiful photographic concepts for each of us as we venture through the wild together through more connecting lenses of communication for life and marriage. Stephanie also invites us to read her beautiful brand-new hardcover book, Out of the Box and Into the Wild, displaying her and her husband's awesome National Park Adventure pictures, metaphors for each type and triad, and more!

Show notes

When you're in an opposites-attract marriage, you've got to be creative to make sure you're moving together in harmony. Today we get to talk to Dove-award winning artist Paul Cardall, whose lilting songs have been downloaded billions of times and graced the stage and airwaves for two decades, even through a heart transplant, about this very thing. Paul is an Enneagram 4 (with high 3 and 8 traits) and his wife Tina has strong 1 and 5 traits. Together they bring expansiveness and a very powerful outreach of love to the world. Today we get to take creative tips from him as he shares a window into the ways they've done that, and the many adventures they've shared along the way.

Virtue Signaling and Villainizing Across Every Enneagram Type Jun 14, 2023

Show notes

When you're upset in your relationship, do you ever villainize your spouse? You're not alone if you do, in fact, it's part of human nature to rate oneself as above average and to give oneself grace while fault-finding in one's spouse, especially in the post-honeymoon years. But you're not average, you're right about that part. You're doing your work, and today Christa walks you through doing just that as we cover every Enneagram type in marriage and the ways you can watch out for both villainizing your spouse as well as finding the grace for them that you give yourself. With this mini-midweek message, may you reach farther across the table to your truest trust, love, and attachment yet!

Show notes

When you have family, fame, and faith, plus a Dove-award-winning musical career with millions of downloads (Sanctus Real, Matt Hammitt), life can feel a bit like coasting.
