Emotions can be exhausting—our own and other people’s. We know God gave us feelings, but what do we do about the ones we don’t like or understand? Drs. Bill & Kristi Gaultiere, founders of Soul Shepherding, use the tool of the Enneagram to show missionaries how understanding our emotions and unique personalities can set us free to know who and how God really made us to be so we can grow in our relationship with ourselves, with God, and with others.
