Have you ever taken the Enneagram test, labeled yourself a Type 3 or Type 9, and tried to use it to grow your writing career?
I used to think it could help me become a better, more productive Christian author—until I dug deeper and realized just how misaligned it is with biblical truth.
In this episode, I’m sharing why I no longer use the Enneagram in my author journey and why I believe it could be pulling us away from who God says we are. We’ll look at its origins, how it shapes identity through the lens of self over Scripture, and why that matters if you're a writer called to build the Kingdom.
Here’s what I unpack in this episode:
- Why personality labels like “Enneagram 4” or “Type 1” can keep you stuck in false identity
- How the process of sanctification in Christ reshapes who we are—daily
- The difference between automatic writing and writing in the Spirit
- And a call to stop trying to “fix” yourself with worldly frameworks, and start walking in the truth that you are an anointed scribe, called and equipped by God
If you’ve been relying on tools like the Enneagram to guide your writing journey, I hope this episode challenges and encourages you to root your identity in the Word, not a number.
Let’s talk about what it really means to write with purpose, power, and the presence of the Holy Spirit.
