Enneagram prompts from Stacey:

• Thinking (Intellectual Exploration):
  
  • What core beliefs, religious or otherwise, have you held onto without truly questioning why you believe them? What new information or experiences might challenge those beliefs? Are you willing to look into those challenges?
• Feeling (Emotional Connection):
  
  • How would you describe the feeling of letting go of the safety and comfort of old beliefs? What fears or anxieties surface when considering a different perspective? What does it feel like when your beliefs are challenged?
• Doing (Action & Application):
  
  • What's one small step you can take this week to actively explore a new perspective on a belief you currently hold? Where can you go to find some of that new information? Could you have a respectful conversation with someone who holds differing views, read a book, or listen to a podcast episode exploring alternative viewpoints?
