Summary

Am I an Enneagram 3? A Princess Belle? An INFP? Wait, what are you?!

It doesn't matter if it takes 10 minutes and 100 pop-ups, we'll click through to learn something new about our personalities. In this episode, Emily and Laura talk about why we love learning about ourselves and what role personality profiles should play in our mothering. Digging into who we are can be useful, but our personalities aren't the full definition of who we are in Christ. God is making all things new, changing and transforming every part of us—personalities included—into the image of Jesus.

Motherhood is hard. One second, we think we're doing a good enough job, and the next we feel like the

worst mom on the planet, which is why we need the refreshing truth of the gospel to be repeated

Well hey friends, welcome back to another episode of Risen Motherhood. I am Laura and I have my

0:49.9

sister-in-law Emily here with me. Hello, hello. And today we're talking about personality tests

0:55.6

which is such a fun topic. We got super into these about a year ago where we were, we took one

1:01.7

of those free online in-eagram tests and we were like texting memes to one another and saying,

1:06.5

that's just like a three year whatever. And so it was really fun for our team and we had a really

1:10.8

good time kind of taking these tests. Yeah. And actually this fall, last fall 2018 on our Ask Us Anything

1:18.6

show, that was our most frequently asked question was what is your in-eagram number?

1:34.7

but this has been around for a long time. I mean, certainly it's not a new thing. Yeah,

1:39.6

definitely. Well, I remember when I was young like doing the love languages and spiritual gifts.

1:45.1

Oh yeah. So fun. Yeah, I remember thinking like, oh, I have this certain love language and at

1:52.0

times it's even caused some conflict in our marriage. Like, no, this is the way I have to be loved.

1:56.9

I can't receive love in any other way. And it's like, that's not true. I enjoy a lot of different
