More Than a Number: Discovering Self and God Through the Enneagram

Summary

In this episode of the Thrive360 Podcast, host Mitch McKinney is joined once again by Enneagram guru and Thrive360 team member Covyn Montemayor for an insightful conversation on the role of personality awareness in leadership and life. Covyn shares how the Enneagram has helped shape her understanding of herself, her relationships, and her walk with God. Together, they explore the importance of identifying blind spots, the value of looking beyond your dominant type, and why self-discovery must happen in community. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who’s ready to use the Enneagram as a tool to move past labels and lean into growth.

Takeaways

• The Enneagram is a powerful framework for understanding aspects of God's character as reflected in people
• Your primary type is important—but your lowest scoring type may hold the greatest invitation for growth.
• The WEPSS Enneagram test gives a full spectrum of your personality across all nine types.
• Growth happens in the presence of accountability—don’t navigate the Enneagram alone.
• Avoid using Enneagram types to stereotype others or excuse behavior; everyone has potential to grow beyond their number.
• Awareness of blind spots is the beginning of meaningful transformation.
