The Enneagram & Spiritual Formation: A Biblical Response to Counterfeits

Weekly Watch — September 13, 2025
Hosted by Dave Jenkins • Theme: True Worship in an Age of Counterfeits

Show Summary

This week on The Weekly Watch, we examine the growing acceptance of the Enneagram in Christian spiritual formation. Though presented as a tool for discipleship and self-discovery, the Enneagram’s roots and assumptions are not grounded in Scripture. Dave contrasts its man-centered approach with true, Christ-centered worship that is Word-driven and Spirit-empowered.
