  • Ian, PLEASE just let the interviewee talk!

    I really was excited to hear Beatrice Chestnut interviewed. Unfortunately, Ian mostly filled the episode with his personal life reflections… which we’ve already heard every single other episode.

  • Letting this one go

    I have found that the Enneagram is a key modality that works for me to understand my motivations and work toward overcoming my self-imposed limitations. This is one of the first podcasts I discovered on the topic about four years ago, and I listened regularly, but I’m finding that it is less and less relevant to me. There’s a bit too much hype, positivity and Christian emphasis for my personal taste, and I find that his guests are a bit redundant at times (SO many 3s and 4s) with some sort of bo... more

    S8 Episode 51 —claimed that the Holy Spirit is a *she* because the Hebrew word for "spirit" (*ruach*) is feminine. But this is a misunderstanding of **grammatical gender**—a feature of many languages where nouns have genders (masculine, feminine, or neuter), which **doesn’t necessarily reflect actual gender or personhood**. For example: * In Greek, *spirit* (*pneuma*) is **neuter**, not feminine. * The Greek word for *sin* is feminine, but that doesn’t mean sin is a female trait. * The word for ... more

Who Are You Becoming? The Slow Work of Cultivating Character with Chuck DeGroat
Q: Define in your mind what personality is, and then define what character is. And where do most people mistake one for the other?
