Summary for Enneagram Types
As you’ve discovered throughout this series, the Enneagram is a rich tool, far more than just a number on a personality chart.
The more you dig into it, the more it expands.
As you use it to expand your own soul through the grace of God, harness it not just for your own growth, but also for the greater good of loving God and loving others.
Here is an Enneagram cheat sheet for you to download. It includes many of the Enneagram triads, groups, core traits, etc., that we covered for each number, along with a clickable link connecting to its associated post.

Spiritual Practice #20—9 Lies and Truths
Our final spiritual practice is to evaluate a set of lies and truths that we believe, one for each number.
Pray about any lies you are believing and ask God’s Spirit to replace them with his eternal truths about who he is, who you are, and how you can best love others. The information is revised from AJ Sherrill’s Enneagram & the Way of Jesus and from Suzanne Stabile.

- The lies Ones believe:
“It’s not ok to make a mistake; I have to be perfect.” - The truth Ones need:
“You are loved for who you are, not how good you are.”

“It’s not ok to be needy.” - The truth Twos need:
“You are wanted.”

“It’s not ok to be seen as a failure.” - The truth Threes need:
“You are loved for who you are, not for what you do.”

“It is not ok to be too functional or too happy.” - The truth Fours need:

“You will be taken care of.”

“It is not ok to be vulnerable—you can’t trust people.” - The truth Eights need:
“It’s ok to be weak.”
Type 9—Peacemaker

This has been an interesting series! The lie and truth for my number was a good reminder today, thank you!
I’ve enjoyed this journey, too, Lisa. Thanks for all the hard work you put into making this happen!
Blessings!
Thank you Lisa, for all of the enlightening thoughts you have brought to us through this series! There is so much valuable insight here to return to, again & again. Blessings to you.
I’ve read the series each day, though I haven’t commented. It still seems complicated to me, but you’ve explained it well. I identify pretty strongly with five of the numbers. But even without knowing which exact number I am, I can benefit from the truths and encouragement for the specific aspects I see in myself.
This took an incredible amount of research and then distilling all that information down to its essence. You did a great job! Thank you.
I second this, Lisa! I, too, appreciate the great job you’ve done. And with you, Barbara, I can’t seem to pinpoint an exact number down. Thanks so much, Lisa, also for this chart. 🙂 Love and blessings to you!
i love this! helpful for both myself and my husband:) thanks so much for this series lisa. i hope we’ll get a chance to get together soon after we recover from this month’s writing:) blessings.
Very impressive series. Seems like a framework with a lot of space for interpretation and creativity. I can’t imagine a series like this for sth like Myers-Briggs.
I have been loving your series, Lisa. This was well planned and you covered a lot of information. My sister and daughter have been learning more about the enneagram and diving into our numbers and I have been forwarding them some of your posts. Then we talk about them. So much information here.
Again, this hits close to the heart in so many ways. It’s amazing how I can hear some of those exact words I’ve told myself inside. And yes, they are tools of the enemy.
Lisa, I could relate to many of the lies above. Some I have overcome and a few I need to work on. Thank you for pointing out the truth.
Wow! Convicted. I do not like to depend on anyone for anything! Thank you for the cheat sheet. What a useful series this has been!
Lisa, I like having the lists. Thanks so much.
