Summary
In Part two of my conversation with John Mark Comer—author, speaker, pastor, and Enneagram One—we continue our discussion about the Enneagram and why it's so important to eliminate hurry from our lives. When you think about it, when you feel listened to and attended to, you feel loved by a person. But when we rush from one thing to another, we are unable to focus our attention on those we love most and our relationships are negatively impacted. If instead, we learn to live in a different space than hurry, the love, peace, and serenity we're really after will follow.

| 0:00.0 | Hey folks and welcome to typology. The show in which we explore the mystery of the human |
| 0:09.0 | personality through the lens of the Enneagram. I'm Anthony Skinner, producer of the show and |
| 0:13.9 | we are happy to have you here today. We have part two of our two parts series with John |
| 0:19.8 | Mark Comer. He is the author of My Name Is Hope, Loveology, Garden City. God has a name |
| 0:25.9 | in his latest book, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurrie. He is also the pastor for teaching |
| 0:32.8 | in vision at Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon where he lives, works and writes. He |
| 0:37.8 | is an Enneagram, one. So let's pick back up in our conversation with Ian and John Mark |
| 0:43.8 | as they discuss Enneagram and how in growth and maturity your vice actually becomes your |
| 0:49.7 | virtue. So here we are with John Mark Comer and your host Ian Cron. Do you remember in the |
| 1:00.4 | great divorce there's that famous scene that Lewis writes? So I mean it's just amazing, |
| 1:06.3 | right? Where the guy has this little sulfur spitting demon on his shoulder and the angel |
| 1:10.4 | says, you know, we got to kill that thing, you know what I mean? And he's like, oh no, |
| 1:14.4 | I can't live without, I can't live without it. He goes, oh well, you know, if we kill that |
| 1:17.4 | thing, you can come with me into, you know, into the kingdom. He's like, I can't live |
| 1:20.9 | without it. And the little demons, you can't live without me. And then finally the guy |
| 1:25.7 | lets the angel kill that demon on his shoulder and what happens? The demon turns into a beautiful |
| 1:30.8 | horse. Wow. And the guy rides off into the kingdom on it. And I think that is such a great |
| 1:37.4 | illustration of what you just said, which is like, if you can allow God to, if you will, |
| 1:44.9 | kill off the false self of our personality, styles, vice. And you know what I mean? It |
| 1:51.3 | can actually turn into the horse that you ride off into with glory. So literally, you're |
| 1:57.8 | the vice of resentment and anger when it is, well, let's get right to it. Once it's |
