Overview

In this conversation, Wendi Park engages with Courtney Ross about her journey as an Enneagram Type Six, also known as The Loyalist.

Courtney shares their experience of resigning from everything, going through a healing journey, and returning with a renewed motivation to serve the Lord.

They discuss their approach of "Watchtowering," the role of a loyalist in ensuring things go right for others, and the importance of balancing their own pessimism and anxiety with their desire to love and serve. They explore the core motivations of a type six and the impact they have in fostering trust and stability within a community.

Through personal reflection, they discover that their strengths, once deconstructed, can contribute to a harmonious and successful community. Join Wendi and Courtney as they delve into the unique qualities and valuable insights of The Loyalist.
