We are skilled Enneagram practitioners with for over 20 years experience working with churches, organizations, extended family units, and individuals in Latin America, Europe, and the U.S. The Enneagram has had a profound impact on our own spiritual journeys and marriage. It opened our eyes to what Jerry Wagner calls, “blind spots, hot spots, and sweet spots.” The Enneagram helped us own our faults, recognize our triggers, and learn to participate with the Holy Spirit for life change. It has been encouraging to watch people gain self-clarity, empathy, and spiritual health as they lean into putting off the old false self and putting on their true self in Christ.

What is the Enneagram?
The Enneagram is a personality tool that offers profound insight into our heart motivations. These motivations foster attitudes and behaviors that affect our personality and relationships. The Enneagram provides a way of seeing both the beauty of how God made you and the sin, or addictions to self, that mess up your life.
The Enneagram clarifies how we organize our thoughts, perceptions, strengths, and defense mechanisms. It is used with …

How can the Enneagram help me?
Following Jesus is all about transformation—becoming like Him and living like Him! Paul writes in Ephesians 4:22-24, You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Where do you seem to get stuck in that critical process of “putting off the old self” (the false self) and “putting on the new self” (the true self in Christ)? What needs transforming in you?
As we partner with the Holy Spirit the Enneagram becomes an effective way to discover something of the beautiful person we always are in the mind of God. As the Spirit brings awareness, the Enneagram offers paths to transformation in marriage, parenting, work, ministry, and your relationship to God.
enneagram workshops
Introduction Workshop: We ground our workshops in the call of Jesus, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it.” (Mark 8:34-35 NIV) We believe abundant death can lead to abundant life. The workshop includes an engaging presentation that includes teaching, music, cartoons, group interaction, personal stories, and lots of laughter.
Notebooks
Biblical basis for transformation
Attention to each number: True self, false self, and the path to transformation.
Some workshops give attention to the Wagner Enneagram Personality Styles Scales and its results.
Harmony Triad Workshop: “So what do you once you know your number/type?” We get asked that question all the time. This workshop of the the Harmony Triad version of connectors leads you to discover that you are more than your type! We explore the power of our God-given three intelligences and their part in our transformation. Then we look at how each triad—8/2/5, 9/3/6, and 1/4/7—benefits from accessing their GQ/EQ/IQ. Finally we demonstrate how different discernment can be within this framework.
