Summary

Last week David Gungor shared his struggle in determining his type, how he embraces his “chaotic intentionality,” and what it means to need others to “get out of his face.” Today we continue the conversation using the Enneagram to help Enneagram Eights grow in self-awareness through spiritual practices and leaning into the people they do trust to gain true intimacy.

David Gungor is a member of The Brilliance, the American worship music duo of David Gungor and John Arndt. The band started making music in 2010 under the Integrity Music label. Their latest album was “All is Not Lost” released in January 2017. David is also an associate pastor at Trinity Grace Tribeca.

0:00.0	So we were talking to this weekend with a group of eights and just talking about confusing
0:18.7	vulnerability with weakness and how eights do that as a central feature of that type.
0:25.9	One of the questions I asked him was when, when have you felt in your life most vulnerable
0:33.3	and weak and what ultimately was the effect of that experience on you?
0:39.2	Like, yeah.
0:40.9	So what was that for you?

0:54.6	And because I feel like we want to be authentic, we really long for authenticity.
1:02.2	We become inauthentic because I want to say, and I know this sounds a little clumsy as
1:08.2	I get there, but like, I want to really believe that I am being authentic with you and that
1:13.0	I am being vulnerable with you.
1:14.8	So I'll share a story right now that makes it seem like I'm being really vulnerable.
1:21.3	And I want to believe that I'm being really vulnerable.
1:24.5	But the thing is, eights at the very core of them because at some loss of innocence or
1:31.4	some loss of trust, if you really feel like you betrayed an eight, it's hard for us to
1:35.7	ever.
1:36.8	Now I, well, we can dive into my story later a little bit more into where this sometimes
1:43.2	gets a little confusing for me, but I feel like I'm very loyal to my family, right?
1:48.3	You don't mess with my family.
1:49.8	And if you've ever messed with my family, I almost feel like I go Arya on Game of Thrones,
1:54.7	which for people who are not super nerds, like she has a list of people, right?
