In this episode, Lucy welcomes a close friend from Wake Forest named Gracie to the podcast. Gracie and Lucy became friends at the beginning of their freshman years and have enjoyed growing closer in their friendship over the past few months. Gracie is a joyful, exciting, and loving friend. She makes every dull moment an absolute blast. Lucy and Gracie begin by briefly discussing the tool of the enneagram which can be used to better understand oneself and others through descriptions of one’s basic desires, motivations, and fears. They discuss how this resource is simply a tool that can be used to identify one’s strengths and weaknesses and can lead to a richer understanding of the ways in which we relate to God and to others.
Lucy asks Gracie about what her “gifts” are, or how the Lord has given her strengths in stewarding his kingdom. Gracie shares about her passion and ease for relating to others and forming relationships. This leads them to discuss the power of vulnerability in glorifying God. Gracie also opens up about a bit of her own testimony and a main narrative that God has written throughout her own life.
Listen along as Lucy and Gracie discuss the truth that God is the only rock of our lives, and is the only one who will never leave or forsake you. He truly loves you best.
