Event Location: Online - Zoom
Event Type: Tyndale Spiritual Formation Centre
Discernment is a crucial part of our spiritual formation, and a crucial part of walking in the will of God. However, many Christians struggle with discernment, in part because we simply aren’t sure how to do it in a way that makes sense. Complicating matters is the fact that not everyone experiences discernment in the same way; we are all wired differently, and methods of discernment that work for one person might be frustrating or ineffective for another. The Enneagram is a wonderful tool to help us understand ourselves better, and how we might connect with God better, thus aiding in our discernment process.
Learning Objectives:
- Why discernment is so crucial to spiritual formation
- Why self-awareness is so crucial to effective discernment
- How the Enneagram can aid us in our self-awareness, and therefore our discernment
- How the various Enneagram types can approach discernment in a way that is meaningful for their type
