Here are the key takeaways:

  • My mom follows Tyler’s Instagram

  • How we (as Threes) sometimes mistype ourselves based on how we want to be

  • Making the decision to leave ministry

  • Loss of identity and identity work as a Three

  • Changing his perspective from his previous ideas (Joke about Wayne Grudem, IYKYK)

  • Opening up to different perspectives of himself and who God is

  • How we use our types to harm others unintentionally, and how the Enneagram can improve our relationships

  • Sixes as protectors

  • Feeling like we’re drowning as Threes when we try to slow down

  •  The EnneaSummit: how it came to be and why Tyler is excited about it

  • Tip for Threes: Practice slowing down. It doesn’t feel great at first, but it’s necessary.
