Surprising insights into the story of Christmas, feat. AJ Sherrill (Type 3) (S08-020))

 

This week we welcome back special guest and Enneagram 3, AJ Sherrill.  This time, we explore AJ's journey of spiritual direction, his insights on the Enneagram, and his new book, Rediscovering Christmas: Surprising Insights into the Story You Thought You Knew.

We discuss the importance of slowing down during the busy holiday season, the emotional homes we all have, and how the Christmas story can be re-examined through a fresh lens. We explore the fascinating characters from the Nativity, including the often-overlooked roles of the Innkeeper, Zechariah, and Herod, and how their stories resonate with our own lives today.

Join us as we reflect on the deeper meanings beneath the story and what it truly means to encounter the divine. Plus, we speculate on the Enneagram types of various biblical figures and how their stories can guide us in our spiritual growth.

This episode is packed with insights and humor that you won't want to miss!
