148: I Don’t Want to Join a Small Group

If you’ve been around Clear Creek for any time at all, you know we talk about small group often.

But what if you’re too busy, or too shy?

What if you’ve tried group but had a bad experience?

In this episode, Aaron Lutz sits down with Rachel Fisher, Small Groups Associate, to talk about the legitimate obstacles people face when it comes to joining and leading small groups, and why, at the end of the day, they are still worth it.

Does your mind go into overdrive in conflict or does everything seem to slow down?

 

Do you sometimes feel like you’re too much for people?

 

Or not enough?

 

How has the way God wired you affected how you love, serve, and lead?

 

In our final episode about the Enneagram, Rachel sits down with Yancey Arrington, who is an 8, and Kara Dawson, a 9, to discuss how we should think about the Enneagram itself and how their own, differing personalities affect their mission with Jesus.

146: A Conversation with an Enneagram 6 & 7

Do you prepare for the worst and hope for the best?

 

Are you energized by the crowd and bring life to the party?

 

On this episode, Aaron Lutz sits down with Courtney Ricketts and Aric Harding to talk about what it’s like to see the world through the lens of an Enneagram 6 and Enneagram 7.

 

But more than knowing ourselves better, we want to know and follow Jesus more fully, so how can the Enneagram be used as a tool to grow spiritually?

Do you need to be needed but struggle to express your own needs?

On this episode, Aaron Lutz talks with Sarah Beth Dikun and Abby Willis about what it’s like to see the world through the lens of an Enneagram 1 and Enneagram 2, respectively.

But more importantly, how can the Enneagram be used as a tool to more faithfully follow Jesus?

143: A Conversation with an Enneagram 3

Have you ever wondered why your spouse or friend reacts so differently than you to the same event?

Or, why we all keep struggling with the same fears and obstacles in our spiritual life?

Rachel Chester sits down with Bruce Wesley and Aaron Lutz to discuss the personality type profile, the Enneagram.

They answer how this can be a helpful tool as we try to love others well and grow as disciples of Jesus.
