"Relying solely on stereotypes about Enneagram numbers is ignorant and does not fully capture people's individuality.” 5. "Being mindful of how others perceive things can help avoid unnecessary conflicts and promote harmony.” 6. "The Enneagram can become a weapon when used against others, but a tool when used for oneself.” 7. "Ministry involves proving wisdom through practice, not just speech.” 8.

"Valuing diverse perspectives can be achieved by pairing and inviting diverse people to help.” 10. "The Enneagram teaches that we all have three intelligence centers - thinking, feeling, and doing, and if one is wounded, we over-rely on the other two."

In this podcast episode, the focus was on becoming our whole selves. The episode covered six dimensions of wholeness: physical, emotional, mental, relational, spiritual, and renewal. The importance of emotional intelligence and processing our thoughts was emphasized, as well as the value of having supportive relationships and pursuing spiritual connection. The episode also addressed gender in the workplace and domestic responsibilities, as well as the impact of hormonal cycles, sleep, nutrition, and movement on our overall wellness. The key takeaway was to acknowledge and address any tendencies to "play small" in our lives for better transformation and results.

Wholeness is really a lifelong journey. “ "Our bodies have been created to heal and to repair themselves and to function at their highest level. “ "The five people who are closest to you will determine your life. “ "Transformation happens Better Together. We belong together and we belong to one another. “ "I think self-care is pretty surfacey. It's like bubble baths and pedicures and reading by the pool, and I just think that that is a really bandaid approach to a much deeper need that we have, which is to have fully energized lives that don't move us toward burnout. “ "Renewal is the way to avoid burnout and increase energy, but we have to lead ourselves into that.“ "Pay for women to get some coaching, get some therapy, you know, get some time at a conference so that they can actually expand.“

In addition to sharing stories, Marty Darracott explains the importance of carving out time alone with God to be still and listen. We also hear about how leaders and pastors sometimes make the mistake of using other people's sermons or worship services as their quiet time.

About Blaine - 

For the past several years, Blaine Bartel, with the support of his wife Lori, has been actively coaching men who are struggling with porn and sexual brokenness. He has discovered a gift of grace to help these friends do the work of resurrection and reinvent a life previously unimagined.

You may be aware of some of Blaine’s accomplishments.

He hosted a national television show for more than a decade.

He went on to become a best selling author.

He led the largest weekly student gathering in America.

This is what the public knew about Blaine.

What they didn’t know is that Blaine hated who he had become. Behind the curtains of his success was a man who was overcome by an unbreakable sexual addiction, severe clinical depression and marital brokenness. Ten years ago, he walked away from everything he had built and accomplished in an attempt to try to discover a life that was worth living.

After a desperate attempt to end his life, he was placed in an addiction recovery center in Phoenix, Arizona for 30 days. After hearing Blaine’s story, Dr. Ralph Earle, one of the nations leading sexual addiction specialists, told Blaine, “You are the poster child for sexual addiction. I honestly don’t know if you will ever get free.”

This was the beginning of a radical life transformation that would demand all Blaine had to give in order to fully encounter the resurrected life. Today if you ask Blaine what his greatest achievement is, he will share this extraordinary ten year drama of the dusty, winding road up the mountain of recovery.

Blaine and Lori reside in Tulsa, Oklahoma, love hanging out with family and friends and have a weakness for reality shows. Along with his speaking and coaching, Blaine is a writer and has recently released a brand new book entitled, “Death by a Thousand Lies.”
