#12 - The Enneagram and Christianity with Psych Apologist Dr. Jay Medenwaldt

In this episode, I enjoy a meaningful conversation with my first Ph.D. for the podcast, the Psych Apologist, Dr. Jay Medenwaldt. Have you ever wondered how personality tests can be so eerily accurate? What is the Enneagram and can Christians use this enigmatic tool to promote their spiritual growth? Dr. Jay demystifies the Enneagram and breaks it down based on scientific psychological research. Learn more about the Forer effect, cognitive bias, and how easy it is for our minds to trick us into believing in something.
