What happens when an Enneagram Two (or…maybe a Four?) takes a deep dive into the ache beneath our desire to be good, loved, and whole? This week, I sit down with Heath Hardesty, pastor and author of <a href= "https://a.co/d/4BN27s2">All Things Together: How Apprenticeship to Jesus Is the Way of Flourishing in a Fragmented World</a>. What begins as a conversation about the Enneagram Two's longing to help soon unfurls into an exploration of the soul — the ache for beauty, the mystery of shame, and what it means to live authentically before God. Together we explore: <ul data-start="913" data-end="1257"> <li data-start="913" data-end="958"> The difference between helping and hiding </li> <li data-start="959" data-end="1025"> Why our "ache" might actually be a form of divine homesickness </li> <li data-start="1026" data-end="1095"> How beauty, poetry, and the transcendent lead us toward wholeness </li> <li data-start="1096" data-end="1179"> What dies — and what's reborn — as we grow older and surrender our false selves </li> <li data-start="1180" data-end="1257"> The sacred invitation to move from doing ministry to stewarding mystery </li> </ul> It's equal parts theology, therapy, and literary love letter. Whether you're a Two, a Four, or simply a human being trying to make sense of your inner world, this episode will remind you that becoming whole is less about striving and more about awakening. 🎙️ Listen now and discover the sacred ache that pulls us home.
