Transformational…for real

I’m fascinated by what makes people tick and this podcast ticks that box. More importantly, I discover more of what makes me tick and it’s helping me become my best self! Thank you Ian and Anthony for making the Enneagram come alive and bring true transformation stories for us that allow us to see our inner workings. And not so we can say “I’m an Enneagram x#” but so we can be all we’re created to be! Keep up the great work!!

Deceived people looking at stuff through a demonic piece of witchcraft

Cron and Skinner are two beta male heretics who are absolutely deceived by the demonic piece of witchcraft that is the enneagram. Everyone who endorses this demonic thing takes part in their wicked deeds. Repent of this nonsense and be forgiven.
