Thursday - June 16 - 8:00 PM (CT) - Phil Roberts – The Enneagram: Are there Many Paths to God?

The Enneagram is not about what type of person someone is according to the Enneagram masters, but each number is a path to God. We are not separated from God but have simply invented a false self that thinks we are separated from God. The number of our personal path takes us on the road back to our true identity and the realization we have never been separated from God.
