Rev. Allison Johnson: The Enneagram, Faith, & Celebrating Our LGBTQ+ Siblings

Calling all Enneagram lovers! This one is for you. (and if you don’t know what that is - don’t fret! This is for you, too!)

What is the Enneagram? And what does it have to do with our faith?

Rev. Allison Johnson dives into what this work is and how it can help us better understand ourselves, our relationships with others, and how doing the work of the Enneagram can even help deepen our faith. 

We covered a lot of ground in this interview; diving in not only into the Enneagram, but also what it means to truly be open and affirming of our LGBTQ+ siblings. This is an important topic for churches because, as Pastor Allison explains, it’s not enough to just say you are welcoming. It’s not even enough to say you are affirming. It’s about going from talking about it to truly BEING about it. It’s going from affirming and welcoming to being fully celebratory of all folks and who they are in their fullness.

This is a powerful conversation and you don’t want to miss it. Put in your headphones, grab a cup of coffee, and dive in with Pastors Kelsey & Allison.
