  SPEAKER_04: You should know this podcast will inspire you to grow in self-awareness, be passionate about your faith, and get clear on your calling.

  SPEAKER_04: If you are new here, then welcome to the community of multi-passionate women who love to go deep on topics like faith, Enneagram, relationships, leadership, and community.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_04: This conversation might provide the step you need to make the change you desire.
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_04: So let's get started.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_04: It was an incredible event.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_04: There was so much transformational wisdom for multi-passionate women like you who also desire to flourish in faith, family, and finances.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_04: So, this is the first recap episode of the summit that I'll be sharing over the next several weeks.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_04: Each week I'm going to share highlights from our incredible speakers and the conversations we had, giving you a taste of the wisdom and encouragement that flowed through this event.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_04: So if you were able to intend, this is going to remind you of some of the amazing takeaways that you had.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_04: And if you missed it, well, you can get a taste of what the experience was like.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_04: And yet you don't have to feel FOMO because it's not too late to get all the goodness from it.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_04: I'll explain that in a moment.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_04: But for now, today in this episode, we're going to dive into the wholehearted abundance in faith topics.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_04: Because, friend, let's be honest.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_04: Faith is the foundation for every other area of life.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_04: It is the center of what we do.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_04: But what does it really mean to live abundantly in faith?
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_04: How do you trust God when life feels so uncertain?
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_04: How do you develop rhythms that keep you connected to Him even in difficult seasons?
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_04: So in this specific episode, you're going to hear powerful moments from the day one speakers as they unpacked what it means to walk in faith, trust God's provision, and cultivate spiritual abundance.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_04: Now I don't have time to share a snippet from every single session, but during day one's welcome session, I gave insight about spiritual warfare and some simple spiritual practices to keep you grounded.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_04: Lori Kruger, whom I was so excited to introduce to you, she did a live session where she shared a vision tool so everyone left inspired along with specific practical takeaways to build their faith.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_04: In addition to the speakers they're going to hear from in this specific episode, we had a Voxer panel discussion about how real women cultivate spiritual abundance and midlife's chaos.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_04: Sarah Higgerty joined in on that one, as well as Anjulie Pascal, Ro Elliott, and then you'll hear near the end from Brandy Myrie.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_04: We also did a live QA with Deanna Sudam.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_04: I heard from this community so many different questions, heartbreaking situations that everyone was facing.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_04: And so we took time each day to answer some of the questions, offer some coaching and wisdom to everyone who took time to write in.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_04: Again, the following is just a glimpse of what was covered in the full session.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_04: So if you do want to go deeper and you're feeling a little FOMO, well then you can go ahead and still get the VIP pass, which you'll get lifetime access to every single session that happened, plus exclusive bonuses that will help you strengthen your faith journey long after you finish up all the summit sessions.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_04: One of the big highlights here that I don't want you to miss is that when you get the VIP pass, you get a full coaching session that you can select from one of many coaches.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_04: That free session alone is worth from over$150 to$500.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_04: That itself is worth the price of admission right there.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_04: Now, as usual, you'll find all the details for this in the show notes.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_04: And let's dive right in to the first session from Dr.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_04: Sandra Dalton Smith on how to find rest in being and flourishing in faith.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_00: Now, most of us have never looked at rest as being productive, but it is.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: It is part of the productivity toolkit that you get to pour back in to accomplish the things you're trying to accomplish.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: This is how you avoid burnout when you're not always giving from your emptiness, but you actually recognize that in the in these different ways of resting, when we look at rest as being multifaceted, it's not just sleep.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: It can be physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, social, sensory, or creative.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_00: There's all of these areas of restoration, of rest that you can experience.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_00: And when we allow ourselves to see, I may need this type of rest today and that type of rest the next day.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_00: And I don't have to get boxed into one type, depending on what kind of energy, what kind of activities I do that day, I'm going to be expending energy in a specific area.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_00: And that area can be depleted.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: And as long as I keep my mind focused on the fact that this is how God pours into me during these restorative processes to go do the work he's called me to do, it pulls you back from this grind culture mindset that I just got to go, go, go.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_00: Because if I'm not going, I'm not producing.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: Some of your greatest productivity will come when you stop, when you recognize that having moments of abiding, having moments of breathers within your life where you are getting filled back up to actually be empowered to do the work that you're called to do.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_00: So you're not always doing it in your own strength, but you are actually empowered from on high to do a greater work.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_04: Next up is Jackie Brewster.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_04: Her session was about your faith blueprint, how your Enneagram type shapes your walk with God.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_04: I love her quick deep dive on the impact that your personality type has on your spiritual growth.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_04: In her full session, she shares insights for each Enneagram type, but in this clip, she shares specific tips for Enneagram types one, two, and three.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_03: Now, here's where the Enneagram comes in.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_03: The ancient personality framework isn't just a tool for self-awareness, it's a tool also for spiritual growth.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_03: It helps you identify patterns that keep you stuck and guide you toward living out the fullness of who God has created you to be.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_03: Each of us reflects different aspects of God's character.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_03: And the Enneagram gives us language to describe this.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_03: So as we look at each Enneagram type and we look at maybe some of the stress points when it comes to flourishing, we're just going to touch on these briefly.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_03: So the Enneagram one, the reformer striving for integrity and goodness.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_03: Their challenge when it comes to flourishing, though, is letting go of perfectionism and trusting God's grace.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_03: So we think about it, there's a lot of gripping.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_03: So when we're gripping, our palms are not open.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_03: We're gripping for.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_03: And what are we gripping for?
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_03: Control, oftentimes, controlling the outcome, controlling the narrative, controlling what's going to come our way.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_03: And when we have such a tight hand on control, it's hard for us to actually trust.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_03: Trust God is good, trust he's in the process, trust even in the darkness that he is still light.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_03: So for the Enneagram one, it is letting go of perfectionism and trusting God's grace.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_03: For the Enneagram two, the supportive advisor, focusing on loving and serving others, their growth when it comes to flourishing is learning to receive love without having to earn it.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_03: So instead of trying to earn it, when I think about the two, I kind of think about like a bicycle, like you're trying to earn it, you're going to, you're moving towards trying to figure out what do you people need?
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_03: How do I give you what you need so that I know that I'm okay and that I'm loved?
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_03: Where an open palm on this, it's like learning to receive love just because of who you are, not because you earned it, but learning how to do that is going to be such a breakthrough for you as a two.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_03: But just like all of the types, all of this is hard for each one of us to do.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_03: The Enneagram 3, the driven achiever, uh, driven by success and affirmation, their journey of flourishing is going to be finding value in being, not just doing, being still, being present, understanding who you are, not what you do, but actually who you are, getting in touch with you, which is such difficult work for our Enneagram 3s.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_04: Now you'll get to hear from Jen Jet Barrett.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_04: She spoke about how to stop the spiral and to receive the Lord's invitation for peace.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_04: It was a beautifully done session, and she offered six questions to engage with when you're struggling with anxiety and emotional overwhelm.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_04: I think you'll appreciate this clip about her personal story and the power of asking herself those questions and her journey to peace as she processed her overwhelm and anxiety honestly before the Lord.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_05: A few years ago, I was sitting in my office scrolling on my phone, just on Instagram, looking at what the world was doing.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_05: And I started to notice that a few of my friends were traveling out of town.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_05: It seemed really coincidental at first that they were all going out of town at the same time.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_05: And then I started realizing that they were all going somewhere together.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_05: And let me tell you, my emotional response after that was very disproportionate to what was going on.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_05: You would have thought I was 13 years old again, feeling completely left out.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_05: I was weeping and crying in my chair.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_05: Remember, my husband came in and knelt in front of me, and he was like, babe, what is going on?
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_05: And I realized I was asking myself the same question, what is going on?
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_05: Why am I feeling this deeply and this responsive to this moment?
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_05: And so I worked through this practice.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_05: I was really honest about what I was feeling.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_05: I was feeling some loneliness, I was feeling some grief, some sadness.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_05: Those are the emotions that I was feeling.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_05: So I started working through these questions.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_05: And let me say this: not every time that I do this invitation work that I work through every question.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_05: Sometimes there's not something on the other end, but in this situation, every single question was something the Lord was inviting me into.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_05: The lie I was believing was that they don't like me.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_05: They don't like me.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_05: And that's why they didn't invite me.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_05: The fear that was consuming me was that I was gonna be alone, that they did not want to be my friends anymore.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_05: And then the shame that was keeping me in bondage, honestly, I was going through a season of deep, deep suffering at the time.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_05: And I really started to believe that my grief was just too much.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_05: It was too much for them, and no one wanted to be around me.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_05: And then the Lord, in his kindness, started revealing to me an idol, an idol of belonging.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_05: See, belonging and relationship is beautiful.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_05: It's a design of God's for us in community to reflect his relational nature.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_05: But I had made it an idol.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_05: This was a group of people that I really wanted to be friends with.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_05: I cared more about belonging to their friend group than I cared about creating a culture of belonging with the people around me.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_05: And the Lord's kind conviction fell on me.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_05: And obviously, the distraction that was derailing me was my time on social media, just scrolling and looking around at other people's life.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_05: And then last, the grief that I really believe that the Lord wanted me to lament was that what if, what if the season has changed in this spring group?
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_05: It is worth grieving.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_05: It's worth being sad about.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_05: At one time y'all were dreaming about going on a trip together, and it's worth grieving that maybe the season of this friendship has changed.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_05: Now, let me tell you, that work of working through those questions took me a good week.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_05: You have to take time in this invitation work.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_05: It won't all come at once, and honestly, thank goodness, it would probably be too much.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_05: But this particular moment for me, this particular collection of emotions and thoughts, took about a week for me to work through with the Lord.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_05: And then I considered what is my response?
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_05: What's my response?
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_04: I mentioned at the beginning that there was a Voxer panel discussion, and we had one of those for each day of the summit.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_04: For day one, the conversation revolved around how real women cultivate spiritual abundance, a midlife's chaos.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_04: I loved inviting women who are in different seasons and stages of their life.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_04: And even though I had a really hard time choosing which clip to share with you, I felt led to share Brandi Myries as she gave a little bit of insight about how her answer has evolved over the years.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_02: Wow.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_02: Um when I think about this question, I think I would have answered much differently 15 years ago or even 10 years ago.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_02: I love, love, love the thought, Angelie, that you had about really defining what spiritual abundance is.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_02: So thank you for that.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_02: What I will say is that God many years ago, I remember being in church in like a worship service, and I love worship.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_02: It makes me feel so connected to him.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_02: And I had come from a church background where worship was really high and intense and it was vibrant.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_02: And I remember changing churches and the worship was very different, and it was not what I was used to, and it was a little uncomfortable for me.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_02: This was probably about 15 years ago.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_02: And what the Lord spoke to me in that moment is he said, Brandy, I'm in the silence as much as I'm in the sound.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_02: And, you know, I thought about the scripture where the Lord was not in the fire and he wasn't in the storm, but he was in the still small voice.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_02: And little did I know that at that time I was nowhere near living a silent life or even having quiet moments in my life.
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_02: But he took me through a real disharpening period of recognizing the truth in the scripture and Psalms.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_02: It says, be still and know that I am God.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_02: And that has been a real anchoring scripture for me over multiple seasons of my life, including right now.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_02: One of the seasons that I went through prior was during an extreme workaholism portion of my life, where I was out of balance.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_02: I had lost sight of my identity in Christ and what his purpose was for me.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_02: And it affected everything, my relationships, my work, uh, my health.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_02: And lately I feel like God has been reminding me of what it is to be still.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_02: And that practice has been really grounding for me in having spiritual abundance in my life.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_02: And it's the opposite of what I remember thinking when I was steeped in workaholism and in doing, just so much doing and so less being.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_02: And in that scripture, be still and know that I am God, I realized that, you know, the ability for me to grow in my intimacy and my knowledge of who he is and his good plans, it's anchored in being still.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_02: And it's kind of like when you're outside, I love being out in nature, whether it's by the ocean, which would probably be my favorite pick, but even in the mountains, you notice that when you take a moment to completely still your body, to still your thoughts and to sit and to listen, you begin to hear things that you wouldn't hear if you weren't still.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_02: You hear the quiet little whispers of a bird, you know, singing sweetly.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_02: You hear the rustling of leaves on the rocks.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_02: And so I really believe that that's just been like a secret, sacred place for me.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_02: That even in the midst of my husband and I went through an extreme period and still coming out of that, of some challenges within our business, and whether it would be in relationships or different seasons, being able to, in the midst of that, not leaning into the chaos, but leaning into silence.
• 17:42
  SPEAKER_02: And practically speaking, that looks like having margin in my day and carving out time to sit with the Lord.
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_02: And I remember setting a timer for the very first time, like, okay, I'm gonna practice this silence thing.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_02: And I couldn't even get through one minute.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_02: My thoughts were racing and raging.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_02: And now when I sit in silence, it's it's not enough time.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_02: I just want more.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm just so grateful.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_02: You know, uh, one of my other favorite verses in scripture is also in Psalms, Psalm 51, 10, it says, Create in me a clean heart, oh God, and renew a right spirit within me.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_02: And it's in those times of stillness and silence for me that I feel like I'm being the most formed by him, where he can reveal some of those innermost thoughts, as in NEA Gram 3, more so the emotions that I would love to shove down.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_02: He lets those come to the service or brings those to my attention.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm able to sort through and heal.
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_02: And so this is it always feels so opposite of my personality because I'm such a go-getter and I love high intensity and I like to go and I like to do.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_02: But it has been the most transformative practice, I would say, in my life, sitting in silence and stillness to become and to be who God's always intended me to be.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_02: And even today, actually, my husband and I, we sat in silence and stillness together at home.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_02: TV's off, um, everything is quiet, middle of the day, and we just talked.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and so I believe that same principle applies to our family and the people that we love and our relationships.
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_02: If we can sit with people and release the distractions and put them away and be intentional about drowning out all of the other things that can distract us from our emails to our messages to notifications to whoever it is, the delivery person knocking at the door.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_02: It could be so many different things.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_02: But I believe when we start with that principle with God and then we replicate that in just our life, in our relationships, there's so much depth that comes from that.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_04: Up last for today is Elizabeth Bennett.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_04: Her session was focused on using the Enneagram to deepen your faith.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_04: She shared specific insights on the spiritual pitfalls for each Enneagram type.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_04: She calls those spiritual pitfalls ruts, and in this clip, you're gonna hear specifically about the Enneagram seven, eight, and nine.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_01: So for Enneagram sevens, their rut is gluttony.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_01: And really, the dictionary definition of gluttony only has to do with food.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_01: But sakes of the Enneagram, I really see gluttony being anything you can overindulge in.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_01: Sevens tend to call this the treat yourself kind of mentality.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_01: You have a hard day, treat yourself.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, my birthday's in two weeks.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna treat myself.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_01: But sevens often do this as a way of numbing to outside issues and problems going on in their life.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_01: They can over-indulge in entertainment, food, even exercise and cleaning.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_01: Did you know you can overindulge in those things?
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_01: You can.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_01: The shopping, gambling, things that have to do with money, even things like pornography, like sevens, if there's something you can overindulge in, that is their rut.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_01: And so sometimes sevens will go on this, just kind of going back and forth between like restricting themselves a lot and then overindulging, and then restricting themselves and overindulging.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_01: And what we actually need here is sobriety and balance.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_01: So, like good things are good things and they're gifts from God.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_01: Entertainment is not bad, shopping is not bad, eating is not bad, but everything is to balance, and sobriety says there is enough right now, and I don't need to restrict, and I don't need to overindulge.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_01: Sobriety is that balance of this will be here tomorrow.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_01: Good things are still for me at different times, and I don't need to overindulge because I'm then gonna restrict myself again.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_01: That like good things can be good things for all time, your body always deserves.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: Food, your body always deserves rest, no matter what it has done.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_01: And so that sobriety can be tricky for sevens to grapple with because a lot of times they can be all or nothing people, but that balance is ultimately found in God giving you that strength and that ability to choose abundance and balance instead of a scarcity mindset there.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_01: So for Enneagram Eights, their deadly sin is lust.
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_01: And before you get too offended, really what we mean by lust with Enneagram Eights is action, intensity towards something that is not theirs.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_01: So lust does not only refer to something sexual here, just like gluttony does not only refer to food for seven.
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_01: Really, what I see Enneagram eights do and their internal lust is when they charge ahead to do something that is not theirs to do.
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_01: Like in the Bible, with lust, we see that sexual lust is not actually bad if it is towards the person that is yours, to the person that you are married to.
• 23:07
  SPEAKER_01: Where it is wrong is when your desire is for someone who is not yours.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_01: The wrong object, not the wrong feeling, necessarily.
• 23:16
  SPEAKER_01: Do you get where I'm going there?
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_01: So for Enneagram 8, it's not that the intensity and drive to protect and act and do all these things, take charge, is a wrong desire.
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_01: It's just what it's pointed at.
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_01: Are you protecting someone who needs to learn how to protect themselves?
• 23:33
  SPEAKER_01: Or is this situation not even something you should know about?
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_01: Or are you acting before you have all the information?
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_01: Are you assuming good of only one party and assuming bad of only another party when you act?
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_01: There can be a rashness to the take charge and action-orientedness of AIDS.
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_01: And it can do a lot of damage and it can hurt a lot of people.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_01: And so that lust, that rut, is what AIDS need to be aware of.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_01: And the opposite of it is self-control.
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_01: Self-control to get all the pieces of the puzzle before you react.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_01: Self-control to ask yourself, is this mine to do?
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_01: Self-control to let someone else do the protecting in a certain situation, which can be really, really hard.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_01: That rush of adrenaline, that acting is so addictive to any grammates.
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_01: And that's why this rut can be so hard to get out of.
• 24:31
  SPEAKER_01: And why when you are acting on something that is not yours to do, you end up hurting a lot of people.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_01: And so I know that AIDS ultimately do not want that.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_01: They love their people fiercely.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_01: And sometimes loving your people fiercely means that you're going to have self-control in your action and that an action-oriented take charge protection might not always be the right tool in every situation.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_01: So for Enneagram Nines, we're to our last Enneagram number.
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_01: Their rut is sloth.
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_01: And if you don't fully relate to the word sloth, or that feels a little bit offensive, I think another word that can be really good for Enneagram Nines is numbing.
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_01: And so sometimes nines call this just a low battery.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_01: I just need to rest.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_01: I just have my rhythms.
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_01: But honestly, it's a way that nines can numb to outward conflict and distress in life, similar to sevens, that overindulge in things with gluttony.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_01: But nines overindulge by doing things that do not take thought.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_01: Whether it's reading the same book over and over again, whether it's like falling into those comfort shows, yeah, over-encapsulating themselves with just a I'm not going to think about anything else.
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just going to be here and in this.
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_01: And in that way, nines a lot of times can hurt their relationships.
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_01: They cannot do things that need to be done.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_01: They can just kind of stay in this cocoon and not do right action, which is the opposite of sloth.
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_01: So right action is the like what we were talking about with any of your mates, the doing what is yours to do.
• 26:08
  SPEAKER_01: And sometimes that relational conflict that's going on that you are numbing because you don't want to think about it, there is something for you to do there.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_01: There is a right action.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_01: If you are feeling it this intensely, that your body is telling you that you need to shut down to not even think about it because it's so intense to think about, that means that there might be something for you to do there.
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_01: There might be an action that you feel fear around or that feels really hard that is yours to do because this situation is impacting you so much.
• 26:41
  SPEAKER_01: And believe me, as a conflict-averse person, that can be really hard to hear.
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_01: I hate it when my husband tells me that if I'm feeling something really strongly, that there might be something for me to do in the relationship.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_01: But for nines, that bravery in the right action is something that as you show yourself that you can do it again and again and again, it will build like a muscle and it will become easier.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_01: But you have to build that muscle of right action, even when you want to sloth and numb to the situation.
• 27:12
  SPEAKER_01: So that is all nine Enneagram types and the different ruts that being aware of can help you grow spiritually.
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_01: Being aware of the sin that is in that rut, the way that you are overindulging or not acting right and in line with God's word, and then the things that can are the opposite that you should be leaning towards.
