Enneagram Workshop with Renewal Women

Jenny Jackson leads this workshop with Renewal Women. Jenny has has completed the Enneagram Spectrum Training Certification Program at both basic and advanced levels.

Part of discipleship is paying attention to who you are and how you relate to God and others. Not all people connect with Him in the same way. Our personalities and life experiences bring us to the table differently. If God always meets us in what's real, then a great way to discern where He is would be to learn more about who you really are. 

​The Enneagram is a tool.

​You’ll receive a link to a $10 Enneagram diagnostic assessment the week before the event. You can pay to take this test or you can take a free one online. In order for you to get the most out of the day, come knowing your number. 

​Cost: $40
