STEP 2: Discover Your Design

Dive into the details of your personality, discover your gifts, and begin the journey of discovering your purpose in life

and how you can make a difference in the lives of others. 


This is an ON-DEMAND experience.

Here's how it works:

2) Watch the video and compete the Spiritual Gifts Assessment

3) Complete the Step Two Completion Registration (click here)

What is the Enneagram?


The Enneagram (Ennea=9, Gram=Diagram) is simply a map for self-discovery and personal growth. The diagram describes the 9 basic personality types based upon their unique ways of relating to the world.


The Enneagram accurately and clearly describes why you think, feel and behave in particular ways based upon your core fears and core desires.


The power of the Enneagram is in its ability to harness and transform self-defeating behaviors into life-enhancing personal empowerment. The gift of the Enneagram is that through self-discovery, one can create and sustain meaningful and lasting relationships with others, God and themselves.


NOTE: The Enneagram Assessment we utilize was developed by Jeff & Beth McCord (yourenneagramcoach.com) based in Franklin, Tennessee.  If you are interested in further exploring your enneagram type, they have online courses, books, podcasts, and free resources to help you do so.

Spiritual Gifts

 

Every child of God is filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, specially gifted to play a unique and valued role in the body of Christ. No one is without gift or purpose.

 

Spiritual gifts are not our talents or skills. They are the grace of God at work within us, empowering us to match our deep passions with the world’s deep need. The gifts are given to individuals, but they are given to build and strengthen community and to meet the needs of those around us.

 

Begin the journey. Discover your gifts. Talk about your gifts with others. Strive together to understand your gifts and how you can use them to serve God, neighbor, and world. You have been gifted. You have been given a purpose.
