We generally care about ourselves more than anything or anyone else. Right or wrong its most definitely human nature. This typically leads us to put a lot of focus on personality tests which essentially attempt to explain how we integrate with the world. Whether in a business setting, personal setting, relational setting. These tests explain who we are in any given environment. It can explain your tendencies as a Christian and how you best connect with God, potential marriage pitfalls, what kind of leader you are etc etc. .. It’s a phenomenon in our culture to obsess over what number, or letter or color we are in certain tests. DISC, Enneagram, Meyers-Briggs (16 personalities) Color Code, Spiritual temperaments and the list goes on. If we are honest, we would admit that it gives us hope. Deep down we hope it will explain the truths we are running and hiding from, that we're not actually good enough for the task before us.

Here is the truth, we are all called to all the commands and all the principals of scripture, and our personality is not an excuse to avoid them. It can, however, offer a plan of attack when we identify certain commands that may be hard for us because of how we are wired.

We must remember that when we accomplish things for the Lord despite our weakness is when God gets the most glory. And this is our greatest blessing...Seeing God work and seeing his Glory in us and others!

We hope this show is helpful as Pastor Chad and Josh discuss some common pitfalls with the mindset regarding personality tests. The guys also discuss how, as a biblical counselor Chad would help coach someone in interpreting their results from a biblical worldview.
