Faith, Culture and the Enneagram with Dayo Ajanaku of @TheBlackEnneagram
Description
Do you think Jesus has an Enneagram type? That's one of the questions I had to ask Dayo Ajanaku, AKA @TheBlackEnneagram while discussing the enneagram and all that it entails.
We start off with Dayo explaining what an Enneagram is and go on to hear her personal journey to create The Black Enneagram. We touch on the strengths and weaknesses of the 9 enneagrams and how understanding them can strengthen our relationships with our friends, family and colleagues. Speaking of that, Dayo recommends Enneaflip for anyone who wants a cheat sheet to interacting with different types.
Throughout the episode, we really dive deep into the spiritual side of the enneagram, its acceptance in the Christian community, and how it has impacted our personal walks with God. Just a heads up, there's definitely what some might consider hot takes in this episode in regards to what it means to be a Christian.
In between exploring the details of enneagram and its impact on our faith, I can't help but praise Dayo for creating a platform for Black people in a field that we had been excluded from for so long, and giving us examples based on our culture and our current reality. While she's on a roll, I casually beg her to make a new, black, faith centric enneagram test.
We pack a lot into this 40 minutes, so make sure you're following @TheBlackEnneagram
