Enneagram #7 The Enthusiast | Sandals Church 

Glory to God

Lord I need a job so bad lord please make I get a job in Jesus name amen 🙏

Lol last Sunday he said that he gets self conscious when he's watching a comedian on the TV with his family cause he thinks man I could do that. I'm sort of butchering what he said but yeah.

Christian comedy is a no go for me. They take the punch out of punchlines. I was about to comment that this guy should leave comedy to the comedians. His message is pretty good though.

Arty the only dangerous thing about being a Christian comedian is that some people might not go there for the Word of God but for the comedy. Just as long as teaching the Word is the priority it is okay with me.

@@arty7542 His message is not very good, because it's based on a myth (the enneagram, to be clear). static1.squarespace.com/static/5d77a9a095914b48a1c07840/t/5dee10f95e5ce97f94f85365/1575883008258/III_Myth8_Enneagram.pdf The church should be embarrassed to be teaching this thing but here we are.

Hi Annarose, we are SO excited and happy for you and your ability to overcome your addiction!

If you're comfortable, would you mind sending us an email at online@sandalschurch.com so we can connect and see how we can better help you on this journey?

Twins 🤣. I try to explain to my 3 husband that for me, a weekend is WASTED if I spend it doing chores or errands. He is the opposite. I feel like I’m wasting time, if I’m not using some of it to relax or do something interesting.

You should probably re-re-consider. Just because something "feels" good doesn't make it accurate, or useful. Dunning Kruger Effect and all that. dougwils.com/books-and-culture/s7-engaging-the-culture/the-enneascam.html

Also listening from South Africa, I'm a 7

Laura Cain me neither but that’s our beauty

I encourage you to research the origins of the Enneagram. Even if these teachings seem helpful and good, they are rooted in mysticism. The Bible warns us that even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14).

"But the illustration of astrology brings in another factor, and that is the science of the thing. It is a reasonable question to ask whether being born under Venus has anything to do with anything. Put another way, personality tests tend to oscillate between pseudoscience and the glaringly obvious. They confirm their scientific bona fides by telling you things about yourself that everyone who knows you has already known for some twenty-odd years. When they tell you genuinely new information about yourself, there are reasonable grounds for doubting the accuracy of it, and when the insight is undoubtedly accurate, it is something that everybody knew already, especially your grandmother." dougwils.com/books-and-culture/s7-engaging-the-culture/the-enneascam.html The enneagram is a neat-o parlor trick, but utterly pointless, useless and an occultic/New Age money-making scam .

@@andrewcramer9200 I'll take that under advisement. Praying for ya, bruh.

I say this with respect, I think you need this message: worshiphisbeauty.wordpress.com/2020/05/09/the-theology-of-the-enneagram/

Watch this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4NNjseYUnNM.html The Enneagram isn't real.

If I had to guess I would say you’re probably a 7 and that would mean that you grow into a 5 when in an area of growth.

Hi Linda! He's talking about the Enneagram - a personality typography that divides the population up into 9 personality types that are incredibly uncanny. Like SCARY accurate. If you're looking for an accessible starting point, I'd suggest checking out, The Road Back to You: An Ennegram Journey 😊

@@kelseymadas2772 it's not "scary-accurate". Read this: www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/people-are-strange/201909/when-personality-test-results-are-wrong-feel-so-right The Enneagram only regurgitates what you tell it, what you already know (or think you know) about yourself. People then use confirmation bias to swallow the rest of the Enneagram's theories, which have proven to have no empirical basis. "I'm a 5 therefore my sin is avarice 😞". Uhhhhh, what? Simple observation disproves that. I like to think and use logic, but I struggle way more with other sins. The Enneagram of Personality was created by two stoners who frequently had "out of body experiences". I'm not saying they intentionally misled anyone, but I am saying their methodology is forbidden all over the Bible and the above link that explains why you're duped if you think it's accurate is why the Bible forbids drug use (what "sorcery" actually means) and spirit contact (which Claudio Naranjo happily talked about using in a RU-vid video). The results are a muddled mess of nonsense, the "accuracy" you perceive is deceptive as proven by Bertram Forer almost 2 centuries ago, and the fact that Christians will stubbornly ignore these things because the Enneagram tickles their ego and insecurity is a sign of the falling away. "People will be lovers of themselves" 2 Timothy 3:1 "A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself." Psalm 18:2

@@andrewcramer9200 not necessarily true. The enneagram types are so different. There is no part of me that can in any way identify with a type 7, so if some test told me I was like that, I would think it’s complete garbage.

Its called finding identity

@@jordzb7379 Do not take this the wrong way but. . .your identity is not found in a scientifically invalid tool. Patrick Vermeren wrote a book called "A Skeptic's HR Dictionary". "The enneagram can teach us something about our personality" is listed as Myth #8, and scientifically exposes the arbitrary nature of the system. Psychologists use something called "Multi-Dimensional Scaling" to test inter-correlation of types in a given personality inventory, and the Enneagram failed miserably to plot the way the proponents claim. He writes: "The HPEI data also reveals that the idea of “wings” of the adjacent types is untenable. Adjacent types show small intercorrelations (1 shows a +0.14 intercorrelation to 2 and -0.12 to 9 for example). To make things worse, the opposite types are not correlated negatively, but positively: for example, type 1 and 6 show correlations of +0.44 (French) and +0.47 (Dutch). In their comparison to a 5FM test, they fail to notice that adjacent styles don’t show a continuous dimension. For example, if style 1 scores high on conscientiousness, the adjacent styles should somehow show at least medium correlations too. But this is not the case: for example, style 1 shows a correlation with conscientiousness of +0.58, whereas adjacent style 9 has a correlation of -0.07 and adjacent style 2 of 0.00. Except for extraversion (at least with three styles), this problem occurs for all 5FM personality traits and the enneagram styles." Simply put, the Enneagram is not helpful. The only support this system has is the self-reported anecdotal evidence, which also exists abundantly for Astrology and Tarot readings, i.e.: meaningless, not acceptable in a proverbial court of law. Now if you're concerned with Vermeren as a source, that's fine, he's definitely not a Christian, although that does not invalidate the scientific evidence. If you want that specific Christian perspective, I offer Jay Medenwaldt's verdict: "Unless you've done graduate work in psychometrics, the scientific data probably doesn't mean a whole lot to you (which is why there are two parts to this article). For those who have studied psychometrics, it's a no-brainer that the enneagram simply cannot do all its proponents claim it can. Any scientist who studies personality would simply look at the reliability scores and conclude the test is not accurate enough to be helpful, and therefore, they wouldn't use it because the potential for harm will be too high." www.jaymedenwaldt.com/2019/01/the-enneagram-science-and-christianity.html He reached the exact same conclusions and blogged them a full 9 months before Vermeren's book was published. Both of them observed one thing, however: very little research on it is available. Only Vermeren articulated why that is: " Because of the occult and obviously esoteric nature of the enneagram, it is of no surprise that my Champions League hasn’t wasted their precious time and money on studying it, a clear indication they don’t take it seriously in the slightest." As a Millennial, I implore people to use common sense, logic, reasoning, and above all science. Research the Barnum Effect, that's the only reason the Enneagram seems valid.
