042: Practicing Vulnerability as an Enneagram 8, feat. David Gungor

Published: May 3, 2018, 3:13 a.m.

Enneagram Eights are called The Challenger for a good reason. Eights don\u2019t like to feel controlled and avoid any appearance of vulnerability. \xa0They are naturally confrontational and their combative energy can feel intimidating to others. \xa0But what feels like intimidation to others actually feels like connection to an Eight. Eights express their anger freely, are fueled by high levels of stimulation, and react very strongly against challenging injustices.\xa0 And, as you\u2019ll hear from our guest, David Gungor, the \u201ccircle of trust\u201d is small but tight. So what does it sound like when an Eight acknowledges their weakness or vulnerability? What does it look like when you break through that tough exterior?

Listen as David Gungor shares his struggle in determining his type, how he embraces his \u201cchaotic intentionality,\u201d and what it means to need others to \u201cget out of his face.\u201d

David Gungor is a member of The Brilliance, the American worship music duo of David Gungor and John Arndt. The band started making music in 2010 under the Integrity Music label. \xa0Their new album was \u201cAll is Not Lost\u201d released in January 2017. David is also an associate pastor at Trinity Grace Tribeca.
