How does your Enneagram type impacts what type of friend you are? Our goal here is for you to learn about how God wired you, but also for you to learn about those in your life so you can love them well, show them grace, and be the friend God created you to be.

You were created by God with your personality type by design for a specific purpose, so you can be the friend God created you to be to others and so you can be friends with God Himself. 

For each Enneagram type, we’ll break down:

  • Where you shine and struggle in friendship
  • And healthy habits to help you grow.

You can also grab this free resource about what the Enneagram is, what it isn’t, and what you want to know about your personality type. Your Quick Start Guide to the Enneagram walks you through how to determine your type, what’s up with wings, and Enneagram resources you’ll want to check out.

Please know that I’m not an Enneagram expert, merely a lover of it. What I present to you is based on my own research, feedback from men and women of each type, and peer review.
