TRACK NINE: The Story of the Enneagram Eight
For the One Who’s Strong for Everyone — But Longs to Feel Safe
You’re the one who takes charge.
You protect the vulnerable, speak the truth, and never back down from what matters.
But under all that strength?
There’s a tender heart — one that wonders if it’s safe to let down the guard and just be held.
This mixtape track is for you.
You don’t have to fight for love.
You don’t have to hold it all together. You’re already fiercely loved by a God who’s even stronger than you.
Your Type Eight Snapshot:
-
Core Motivation: To be independent, protect themselves, and avoid vulnerability.
-
Big Struggle: Control, intensity, and the fear of being betrayed or weak.
-
Most Needed This Summer: Safe softness, surrendered strength, and deeper trust in God’s protection.
You don’t have to shrink your voice, but you also don’t have to guard your heart so tightly.
This summer, let your strength be Spirit-led instead of self-powered.
When Strength Becomes a Shield and How to Lay It Down...
