Enneagram and Marriage

"The way to unity is not through uniformity, it is through understanding and loving the other." - Lore Ferguson Wilbert. Whether it’s your spouse, family member, or your neighbor, it’s not always easy loving someone with differences. Yet chemistry is not sameness, and today we are grateful to have Christianity Today book award author Lore Ferguson, 9 (9w8 and 6w5 pairing), Wilbert on the pod today to encourage us in a Christ-like loving of the other - whatever that means - in our lives. We also enjoy talking about Lore's beautiful book, The Understory as she helps us to see the parallels of Christian faith in the resilience and rootedness found in the minutiae and cycles of the natural world. May we truly find the courage to step into the community and love those who believe differently as we learn from Lore here on today's show. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/NmkQQHVh-bI More about Lore: Lore Ferguson Wilbert is an award winning writer, thinker, learner, and author of the books, The Understory, A Curious Faith and Handle With Care.

Growing up in spaces of faith, many if not most of us have inadvertently picked up on several toxic fallacies as we consider both how to espouse a mature Christian faith and yet also strive for a thriving sex life together in marriage. Many of those beliefs have even been taught from the pulpit, even the ones stirring us to become sexual objects. Yet both biblical truth and research portray for us that guilting or shaming one another in the bedroom instead draws a wider gap of true intimacy. Dr. Camden Morgante, Pys.D., is here to help you walk through this seeming disparity with the clarity you need, as she brings in both healthy biblically-based and research-based tips on how to replace unhealthy projections of faith and sexuality with biblically sound truths and ethics. If you want a deeper, healthier, and more intimate sex life in your marriage, you don't want to miss this healing episode or Dr. Camden's brand new book (and pre-order bonuses) for anything!

Today's must-listen podcast episode is a vital piece of the sex talk you never got - a conversation about sexual issues as they show up in almost every marriage as a result of shame and contempt born of most men's first encounters with sex because of the earliest introductions to sex via pornography and other counterfeit distortions with marriage therapist and author, Sam Jolman, Type 4 (4-4 pairing). Here we bring a respectful conversation geared toward the reminders of the God-given gift of wonder, awe, and innocence that you can truly bring into your marriage for a renewed sense of heartfelt love and mutual partnership. Sam also courageously introduces a necessary book that addresses these issues with kindness and courage, offering life-changing practical tips and insights. Sam's book, "The Sex Talk You Never Got: Reclaiming the Heart of Masculine Sexuality," has been cited by John Eldredge (Wild at Heart) as "the most important book on sexuality you will ever read." Join us as we delve into our lives and the conversations we need to have about a healthy expression of sexuality, as well as the best ways to heal. “At last. A kind, wise, and poetic guide to the complex and beautiful issue of our sexuality and a path toward the wholeness every man longs for.

Today, in this E + M special, we take the justice-fighting lens together as a community to bring awareness to the issue of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation in relationships and around the world. We have a leading world expert with us to talk about it today, Exodus Cry founder, filmmaker, and artist, Benjamin Nolot (Enneagram 4), who shares the mission and issues involved on all sides of sex trafficking and exploitation, from pornography to sex trafficking. Make sure you tune in as we break down understanding of cycles of disempowerment, why people get caught up in these cycles, and most of all, work together to bring awareness and abolish sex trafficking, porn use, and other disempowering and unhealthy shame-and-power-based sexual practices, and to protect our next generation from being exposed and exploited as well.

It's one thing to be vulnerable by choice and quite another to find yourself unwittingly so. Today, we discuss the healthiest ways to share our human vulnerabilities with expert Raleigh Sadler, Enneagram Type 6 (The MercyCast ) in a rich conversation on what vulnerability is and how hard it is to be vulnerable in relationships, especially when we've been burned or haven't known how to navigate sensitive terrain. Here you'll find tips for when to lean in, when to set some distance, and when rest is needed after a vulnerable event. We also specifically give tips for men seeking a culture of healthy vulnerability, since there are often extra layers of barriers here. Lastly and most urgently, we touch on some of the most vulnerable populations out there as Raleigh's outreach largely surrounds the most vulnerable in our population, sex trafficking victims, with his world outreach, Let My People Go.

When spouses don't align on their deepest core values, it's hard to get along and yet many spouses find it hard to articulate what those core values even are for them. Today Christa walked you through a few simple exercises to get in touch with the values inside of you so you can live most authentically as yourself, and also learn to appreciate those values your spouse brings to the table, disparate though they may be.

When heartbreak happens, you're not alone. Yet often our first human instincts involve shutting down fast and then isolating ourselves, spilling grief into unhealthy corners such as overworking, overly seeking commendation, or just disconnecting from God and others in our lament. Today we talk with author and poet Tanner Olson, Type 3 (3-5 pairing), @Written to Speak, about instead bringing these laments into the light. Tanner takes us on a deep dive into his experience of finding the light of Christ even in the darkness of life's unexpected twists and turns, including unexplained infertility. Whatever your experience of uncertainty in the midst of waiting or grief, don't miss this episode that also includes a conversation about Tanner's marriage and pairing, encouraging tips for you, and even a live reading of one of his poems from his acclaimed book, "Walk a Little Slower," as you too find your most authentic ways to share and bring light to the darkness.

It’s hard to be brave enough to step into our calling sometimes, especially if there's fear that God won’t show up for us. When we have heroes in real life or from our ancient narratives alike, we can be assured that we have a heritage of faith, tenacity, and even wins of epic proportions. Today, we are joined by exemplary scholar, Dr. Sandra Richter, PhD, Harvard-trained biblical scholar and The Robert H. Gundry Chair of Biblical Studies at Westmont College, to walk us through the captivating story of Deborah of the Old Testament in her new Bible study series by the same name. Join us for an exhilarating conversation about a woman and a people group who put everything into their dreams, even though they had only the smallest chance of victory as you join us and step more confidently into your dreams as well.

Healthy parenting involves not only the journey of helping to love our kids but also understanding ourselves and the ways we handle stress. This often involves doing some healing around our own developmental stories.

Today the Enneagram & Marriage audience is learning from master Enneagram coach, Beth McCord, Type 9 (Your Enneagram Coach which has over 3 million Enneagram test takers!) who teaches you steps to grow in your parenting and on your journey as well as she unfolds the layers of her new book, "The Enneagram for Moms" that drops this week.
