Do you ever feel like your time in the Word - or even your faith itself - could use a good kick in the pants?  If so, maybe it's time to get serious about how you study the Bible. Verse mapping is a simple and intriguing way to approach the Scriptures, helping you understand the context around passages, what it would have meant in the original language, and what God is really communicating to us through His ancient texts. 

In Episodes 16 and 17 we continue exploring and learning about The Enneagram and the unhealthy sides of each type.  Discovering those ugly parts of our behaviors and personalties was not fun but was so worth it!  This is the first step to making progress in our self-improvement journey.  On the spiritual side, this is the first step to surrender.  To inviting God into our lives and asking him to help us overcome the parts of our lives that do not reflect Christ.  This is some hard stuff guys...but I promise you it is worth it! The objective in discovering our types and studying the Enneagram is so we can get out of the "box" that we're in.  To be freed from the fears and sin in our lives that drive us or, many times, control us.  We know that this can be difficult and it can bring us face to face with that thing we've been avoiding.  Thankfully, we have scripture to speak life into us and give us hope.
