Summary

“Jesus gave up being adored by the crowds for the sake of something better and truer. And that ‘better and truer’ was to love you and to love the people around you more faithfully than the crowds could ever allow Him to.” That was just one of the many times Jesse Eubanks’ words helped me see a deeper version of Christ, and I have a feeling you’ll love this conversation as much as I did. Jesse Eubanks launched Love Thy Neighborhood in January 2014 and amongst all the things they do, I love that they really tackle what it looks like to follow Jesus in this culture. In this episode, Jesse breaks down why and how we can truly trust Jesus with who we are, and how our enneagram type factors into both the way we see Jesus and our understanding of our life story. I hope you walk away from this with so much clarity and encouragement! Connect with Jamie Facebook // Twitter // Instagram // YouTube GET ALL THE LINKS FROM THE SHOW HERE

0:00.0	Hey friends and welcome to the happy hour with Jamie Ivy podcast. I'm your host Jamie and I'm so glad you're here.
0:06.2	Each week on this show, I invite a friend to join me and we chat about the big things in life, the little things in life, and everything in between.
0:23.2	Hey friends and welcome to the happy hour Jamie Ivy podcast. We have a great show for you today.
0:26.8	Happy Friday if you're listening to this in real time. Happy first Friday of November actually.
0:31.0	November brings Thanksgiving here and I'm so excited about that.
0:34.4	You guys, we have a great show for you today. Jesse U-Banks is my guest today and speaking of emotions, we talk a lot about the
0:40.0	Enneagram. If you're unfamiliar with the Enneagram, gosh, we have several shows you could go listen to. We'll put those in the show notes for you.
0:45.2	If you just want to hear some more, we've had Suzanne Stabilon. We've had Beth McCord on talking about the Enneagram.
0:51.2	Really, the Enneagram, what it is, it's a diagnostic tool. It's been developed over thousands of years ago through a variety of people and it has become a highly useful
0:59.7	guardian against self-deception. The Enneagram really works like a mirror showing both our truthfulness and our falsehoods back to us.
1:06.3	Recent surge in popularity is due in large part to how easy it is to use while providing such robust insights.
1:12.3	In fact, I took that language directly from a book called Mapping Your Enneagram Story by Jesse U-Banks, who is my guest on the show today.
1:19.9	We talk a lot about how Jesus meets us in our personality. The Enneagram really is a tool about our personality.
1:28.1	It helps us understand where we are in relationships with other people and with ourselves. It shows us the way we experience others as well as some of the relational beliefs that fuel our own actions or our inactions.
1:40.2	Listen, I have talked a lot about here and I believe the Enneagram is a very helpful tool. It is by no means the gospel because we have the gospel already, but it is a helpful tool.
1:49.2	Today, Jesse and I talk about it. Like I said, he has a book called Mapping Your Enneagram Story tracing the story of your life to find God's footprints.
1:58.0	I have this workbook that I'm talking about and it is such a great tool for someone.
2:02.7	My favorite part of the conversation today was how we talked about how Jesus himself meets us within our personality, how he meets us in our fears, how he meets us in our insecurities.
2:13.9	Jesse said that Jesus' empathy plus his authority equals the way that we can trust him.
2:19.6	I love that you're going to hear him say that in the middle of this conversation a little bit towards the end.
2:24.0	I hope it kind of wrestles in your soul the way it did for me that Jesus can empathize with us because he was fully human.
2:31.2	He also has full authority because he's God and that gives us the ability to trust him.
