Most of you have heard of the Enneagram. You may have figured out your number and thought “yup, that’s me.” Recognizing your number is just the beginning of the journey, and today’s podcast will help you start that journey!
Kaylene talks with Doug and Adele Calhoun, founders of Calhoun Ministries, who wrote “Spiritual Rhythms for the Enneagram.” While they do give a basic intro to the Enneagram, this is a “What’s Next” discussion about how the Enneagram can help us grow in greater awareness and lead us to spiritual and relational transformation.
Adele and Doug Calhoun have served on the pastoral staff of four churches and are currently co-pastors of spiritual formation at Highrock Covenant Church in Arlington, Massachusetts. As certified Enneagram instructors, they enjoy resourcing spiritual leaders and pastors through spiritual direction and teaching the Enneagram.
Adele is the author of Spiritual Disciplines Handbook, Invitations from God, and coauthor of True You. Doug is adjunct faculty at the Transforming Center and at Potter’s Inn Soul Care Institute, and he is board chair of Del Camino Connection.
RESOURCES MENTIONED IN PODCAST
Moment to Breathe - from Clinging by Emily Griffin
He is the one who can tell us the reason for our existence, our place in the scheme of things, our real identity. It is an identity we can’t discover for ourselves, that others can’t discover in us—the mystery of who we really are. How we have chased around the world for answers to that riddle, looked in the eyes of others for some hint, some clue, hunted in the multiple worlds of pleasure and experience and self-fulfillment for some glimpse, some revelation, some wisdom, some authority to tell us our right name and our true destination.
But there was, and is, only One who can tell us this: the Lord himself. And he wants to tell us, he has made us to know our reason for being and to be led by it. But it is a secret he will entrust to us only when we ask, and then in his own way and his own time. He will whisper it to us not in the mad rush and fever of our striving and our fierce determination to become someone, but rather when we are content to rest in him, to put ourselves into his keeping, into his hands. Most delightfully of all, it is a secret he will tell us slowly and sweetly, when we are willing to spend time with him: time with him who is beyond all time.
