Confronting Some of the Best Arguments FOR the Enneagram

Подробнее о видео

A while ago, I put out a post asking Christians for their arguments FOR the enneagram. I was grateful that so many were comfortable sharing their perspective, even though many would disagree. I asked my friend Alexa Cramer, who is with Mama Bear Apologetics, to come on and help address these arguments.

Timestamps:

03:08: What is the Enneagram, the “True Self” vs. the “False Self,” why Richard Rohr is associated with the Enneagram, and the Origins.
15:50: Argument #1- There’s some hypocrisy here. Why do Christians condemn the Enneagram for its alleged occult roots but not chiropractic care, despite its founder’s spiritualist beliefs?
18:37: Argument #2- Intent matters. The Enneagram isn’t inherently wrong because of its origins, despite similar concerns being overlooked in wedding traditions.
20:52: We can redeem it.
22:37: It’s a personality test just like Myers Briggs.
26:13: The Enneagram is a Gospel tool. I’m a believer because of the Enneagram.
33:19: The Enneagram is a tool that highlights our need for God's grace and helps us align with the gospel, rather than encouraging sin.
35:38: The Ennegram is a communal tool that can be adapted as we please.
37:33: A random question I had for Alexa.
42:45: Richard Rohr is a heretic, sure, but the Enneagram is supported by reputable scientific studies.
46:35: It’s basically a psychology tool. It helps you understand who you are. If Christians go to therapists, then they are engaged in psychology. The Enneagram is no different on this level.
48:25: It’s no different than knowing your love language.
50:07: The Enneagram helped save my marriage.
52:31: Of all the personality tests, the Enneagram has helped me the most. It focuses on the internal.
01:06:24: Another question I have for Alexa
