Hello everyone and welcome to the Graceology with Gwen Smith podcast. I'm Gwen Smith and I am so glad you've joined me today. Around here we have fun, faith-focused, grace-filled conversations, all to help you know and trust God more. Our discussions are honest, often humorous, and always practical.

And they're going to encourage you in meaningful ways to live out and lean on the grace of Jesus

in the midst of cluttered, messy days. You got any of those? I know I do, and I can't wait to get to

today's conversation, which is all about the Enneagram.

My guest today is Beth McCord.

Beth is an Enneagram coach who is passionate about coming alongside of individuals and helping

them rewrite their story to see that lasting change in a life of deep purpose are possible.

She's also passionate about Jesus and leading others

to who they are in Christ and helping them to live out the freedom that he came for us to experience.

We're all made by God for intimate relationships and community, to love him and love others, but both can be so

hard. There are parts of ourselves and things about

others that we don't always like or even understand, which makes that command to love others

that much harder. We often wonder things like, why does that person do the things they do?

Or even, why do I do the things I do. Beth lays out some basics of the

enneagram today and talks about some of the ways that this personality assessment tool can be

useful as a map for personal growth that leads us to healthy responses in the power of the

Holy Spirit. So hunker down for a mind-blowing, biblically rich conversation that's going to help align

your heart to the hope and the truth of the gospel through your unique, God-given personality

and perspective. Hello, Beth McCord, I am so excited to invite you to the Graceology podcast today.

So thanks for joining me.

Yeah, thanks for having me.

This is going to be great.
