Summary
In this episode, we dive into our most requested faith adjacent topic… the Enneagram! Instead of helping you type your dog or fuel your fire towards your frenemy who always finds ways to bring up their type in conversation, we wonder: Is this personality test essential for self-discovery? Is this a cult with Satanic roots? Could it possibly just be a helpful tool in the toolbelt of the Christian life? Join Resident Bible Scholar Erin Moon as she asks these questions to explore the history and faith adjacency of this polarizing phenomenon.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Faith adjacent, a spin-off of the Bobblebench podcast where we send |
| 0:23.7 | up our faith antenna to see if we can get reception in unlikely places. |
| 0:28.6 | I'm your host Erin Moon, resident Bible scholar on the Bobblebench, and this month fix your |
| 0:33.4 | stance and spread your wings as we travel the road back to you and discuss the most requested |
| 0:38.4 | Faith adjacent topic in the history of this eighth month old podcast, the NEagram. |
| 0:45.1 | A quick disclaimer before we get started, Faith is very personal. |
| 0:48.6 | Everyone brings their own set of lenses and perspectives to anything they encounter in |
| 0:52.4 | the world and that includes scripture, faith, religion. |
| 0:55.8 | I always welcome General Rebuke's additional thoughts as well as attention to blind spots |
| 1:00.2 | I may not have considered. |
| 1:02.0 | This is a conversation. |
| 1:03.5 | If this is spiritual archaeology, I want us to dig together. |
| 1:08.2 | So before we jump into this episode, I want to give a little roadmap about what we're |
| 1:11.9 | going to talk about. |
| 1:12.9 | We're not going to talk about types or being counterphobic or having a sexual stance |
| 1:17.4 | or whatever. |
| 1:18.9 | Overwhelmingly, I think the NEagram was the most requested episode because I think we're |
| 1:24.0 | all so oversaturated by it in the same ways that we were all oversaturated by Mars Briggs |
| 1:29.2 | a few years ago. |
| 1:30.6 | And it has a very polarizing stance in the Christian world. |
| 1:34.5 | What I've noticed about the conversation surrounding the NEagram and Christianity is that |
| 1:38.8 | you either love it and apply it liberally to every aspect of your life or you're somewhere |
