Anxiety is the basic emotional posture of the head types. Some of us may rely on getting more information, or finding the right people, or simply get distracted with pleasures in order to avoid the feeling of anxiety. Join Bill and Kristi as they identify the unique challenges of each type and share how they can take their anxiety to Jesus.
The basic emotional posture for the gut type is anger. Depending on your specific type, it may come out as aggression, passive-aggressive, or resentment. Bill shares how the enneagram has helped him to process anger as an indicator of stress and find pathways for relaxation.
Many pastors, helpers, and care givers may resonate with the heart types. They are good at tuning into other people’s emotions while being sensitive to their own emotions. Kristi shares her journey as a “helper” type and how the enneagram has helped her process shame and find acceptance in God.
Peacemaker types are gifted at recognizing how others see the world but may have difficulty seeing their own needs and wants. Join Bill and Kristi as they continue to draw from their daughter Briana and how the Enneagram has helped her identify areas of growth and stress points.
The Enneagram can help us befriend our emotions. It can be a tool to delve into our emotions so that we can be more aware of ours selves, our personalities, and our relationship with the Lord. Join the conversation as Bill and Kristi share how the Enneagram has helped them in their life and ministry.
Jesus comes to us with sensitivity to our feelings but he also comes to us with truth. We want to give people grace, empathy, and safety when they have doubt but we don’t want them stuck in doubt. Jesus comes to us with truth. In this episode, Kristi shares her past crises with doubt. Join the conversation, as Bill and Kristi share authentically and model what it looks to give grace and feedback to one another as soul friends.
We can imagine Jesus as a thinker, a teacher, or a leader, but have you ever thought of Jesus being a “feeler”? Jesus felt many emotions that we do including: fear, worry, and even shame. This allows him to enter into our life experiences with us and feel what we feel with empathy and compassion. Join this conversation as Bill and Kristi unpack what it means to see Jesus as a feeler and how that helps us experience greater intimacy with him.
Sadness is an emotion many of us struggle to get in touch with. It can be difficult to open up our hearts to feel the deeper hurts and be honest about our needs. Bill and Kristi share their process with sadness and the healing pathway that helped them to experience restoration, growth, and reconnection with the God of grace and comfort.
Sometimes as pastors and leaders, we can carry hidden shame that only very few people know about. In this episode, Bill shares a story of a pastor who was struggling with doubts about his own personal relationship with Jesus. Join in on the conversation as Bill & Kristi further unpack this pastor’s journey from feeling shame to discovering peace in Christ.
Sometimes shame makes us want to isolate and hide. But God never wants us to feel shame. Praise God for the gift of grace that he has for us! As we look to Jesus we are increasingly set free from shame. Join Bill and Kristi as they unpack the remedy to shame.
