Description

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 are your blind spots? Hot spots? What needs transforming in you? The Enneagram is a personality tool that offers profound insight into our heart motivations. These correspond to attitudes and behaviors affecting our personal transformation and all our relationships. The Enneagram provides a way of seeing both the beauty of how God made you and the sin that messes up your life. Many have seen the Holy Spirit employ the Enneagram as an effective means for the “being made new” part of Paul’s equation. The new awareness it brings will offer ways to improve your relationship to God, your relationships, and your work or ministry worlds. Doug & Adele Calhoun will be the presenters. They have worked with the Enneagram for over 20 years with church staff, individuals, and with church staff in other countries. They are co-authors of Spiritual Rhythms for the Enneagram: A Handbook for Harmony and Transformation.
