129: Jim Gum and Healing through Enneagram

Jim Gum is the Executive Pastor at Jacob’s Well church in Kansas City and founder of Story Enneagram whose message is “You are NOT your Enneagram type.” Story Enneagram – where learning your type is just the beginning of a whole new story. Today, he shares his story of coming to Christ through Young Life, discovering he was at the point of breaking down and healing through the Enneagram. He found it easy to let himself get caught up in all the things he thought he had to do to make others like him and not focus on what mattered, his health and the people around him. His story will demonstrate that you don’t need to be perfect for those around you.

Listen to Jim’s story now!

Stories Jim shared:

Growing up in Kansas City outside of the church
Riffing off “Let it Be” by the Beatles when saying the sinner’s prayer
Spending a summer in a body cast which caused a disconnect with his friends and led to him giving his life to Christ for real
The silent retreat led by Brennan Manning that changed him
The question his wife asked him that made him realize he needed the silent retreat
The moment he realized God’s love for him
Why you need to disassociate from your Enneagram type
How he became acquainted with himself
His mystical experience with Jesus and a baby blanket
Why he started Story Enneagram
What the Enneagram can do for you if used properly

Great quotes from Jim:

I was free to just be loved by God

“It’s a horrible shock to become acquainted with oneself.” Carl Jung
