Episode 8 Summary

In this episode of 27 Good, Patty and Amy revisit the Enneagram and talk through why it continues to be such a helpful tool in understanding ourselves and the people around us.

They begin with Psalm 139:14 and ground the conversation in the truth that our identity comes from being fearfully and wonderfully made by God, not from a personality number. From there, they walk through all nine Enneagram types, explaining core desires, core fears, wings, and how each type tends to show up in stress and in growth.

Rather than treating the Enneagram as a label or excuse, they talk about using it as a mirror. Why do we react the way we do? What drives our decisions? How can awareness lead to more grace, healthier relationships, and personal growth?

The conversation includes real-life examples from marriage, parenting, friendships, and work, especially how knowing someone’s type can help us love them better instead of misreading their intentions.

This episode is a practical, faith-rooted look at the Enneagram as a tool for insight, not identity, and an invitation to grow toward healthier versions of ourselves.
