Type·ish

In today’s conversation, Marilyn Vancil and I explore how the image of God—the imago Dei—is uniquely expressed in each Enneagram type. While the Enneagram was developed in the 60s and 70s as a psychological tool for ego reduction, early teachings often focused more on what’s broken in us than what’s beautiful. That began to shift as voices like Russ Hudson and Marilyn Vancil helped reframe the Enneagram—not just as a map of our struggles, but as a window into our strengths, our goodness, and the ways we reflect God.
 
This conversation is a powerful reminder: You are more than your patterns. You carry something sacred..

In today’s conversation, Lindsey Lewis and I explore how each Enneagram type uniquely relates to God—both at its healthiest and where it can quietly drift off course. This episode will reveal how your type’s strengths can either deepen your connection with God or subtly distort it.

My guest, AJ Sherrill, discusses spiritual disciplines for every Enneagram type, what he calls upstream and downstream disciplines. I respect and admire AJ for being a pioneer in this area, finding innovative ways to blend the Enneagram and spirituality together, and I think you will too by the end of this episode.

In this conversation, Lisa Vischer explains how the Enneagram helps us understand identity, ego, and spiritual growth. We walk around the Enneagram circle and explore how each type forms an idealized self-image, who we think we must be in order to be loved, and the avoidance patterns we use to protect that image.
