Show Notes
The Enneagram has become one of the most influential personality systems in the modern church—but where did it actually come from?
In this crossover episode with Tim Constantine from the Six Sensory Podcast, we trace the Enneagram back to its modern roots, exploring the influence of Gurdjieff, occult philosophy, channeling, and esoteric spirituality. Along the way, we examine concepts surrounding Metatron, symbolism, sacred geometry, and why symbols have played such a significant role in shaping religious and cultural movements throughout history.
Rather than accepting popular narratives at face value, we test the historical claims and spiritual foundations of the Enneagram against Scripture. Is it simply a neutral personality tool, or is there more to its origins than many Christians realize?
Join us as we explore how the Enneagram became embedded in churches, why discernment matters, and how believers can faithfully evaluate every teaching in light of God's Word.
