Sean Palmer — Enneagram 3
When Sean Palmer first heard about Enneagram Threes he knew that he was one and wondered why everyone else wouldn’t want to be. That introduction to the Enneagram led Sean into a decade long deep dive into self-awareness and study under the Enneagram “godmother” Suzanne Stabile. The teaching pastor at Ecclesia Houston (one of America’s most innovative, missional communities), Sean is a sought-after writer, speaker, teacher, emcee, and speaking coach engaging audiences all over the world. He is currently writing on how the Enneagram intersects with racial justice and public speaking, and his recent book 40 Days on Being a Three reflects on the inner world of Enneagram Threes.
Christine Yi Suh — Enneagram 4
Christine Yi Suh is a Four who believes every person is unique and worthy of being known. Once mistyped as a Two, she believes the intersectional identities we hold deeply inform our relationship with the enneagram. She is a pastor, writer, creative, and spiritual director committed to the work of justice. Her forthcoming book, Forty Days on Being a Four, releases in 2021 and explores her Asian American racial identity, Korean culture, womanhood, and faith formation in light of being an Enneagram Four. She and her partner David live outside Los Angeles and love sharing their Korean heritage with their two kids, Samuel and Ellie.
Morgan Harper Nichols — Enneagram 5
Morgan Harper Nichols is a poet, visual artist, and musician living in Phoenix, Arizona, with her family. She discovered the Enneagram a few years ago after hearing it discussed on a few podcasts. Upon discovering that she was a Five, for the first time in a long time, she felt seen. Since then, discovering who she is as a Five has become an integral part of her spiritual growth and how she practices the art of being present in daily life. Morgan uses the Enneagram to help find the language for processing thoughts and emotions in both her personal life and creative practice. It has become a valuable tool in how she moves from thinking and into action in relationship with others and the world around her.
Tara Beth Leach — Enneagram 6
Tara Beth Leach has found the Enneagram to be a profoundly transformative tool in her life. She embraces the many superpowers that Sixes possess, like having an escape plan for any potential natural disaster and being fiercely loyal to the people she loves. Tara is a pastor who has served in churches in New York, Chicagoland, and most recently as the senior pastor of First Church of the Nazarene of Pasadena in Southern California (“PazNaz”). The author of Emboldened, Kingdom Culture, and Radiant Church, she has two beautiful and rambunctious sons and has been married to the love of her life, Jeff, since 2006.

His book Forty Days on Being a Seven releases February 2021.
Sandra Maria Van Opstal — Enneagram 8
Sandra Maria Van Opstal doesn’t need to take a test to know she’s an Enneagram Eight wing Seven and neither does anyone who has encountered her presence. Sandra is the author of Forty Days on Being an Eight as well as The Next Worship and has enjoyed journeying with the Enneagram personally and in her pastoral ministry. She is the executive director of Chasing Justice, which is a movement which mobilizes people of faith to live justly. Sandra loves Chicago!

Marlena Graves — Enneagram 9
Marlena Graves is a writer, seminary professor, and full-time PhD student at Bowling Green State University. She learned about the Enneagram from some writer friends, and it took her some time to figure out her number and wing. How Nine of her! She always wondered why she felt so conflicted inside—then she discovered it’s because she is an Enneagram Nine with an Eight wing. She hopes to demonstrate that Nines can lead diplomatically, have strong opinions, and though they come at you sideways, they shouldn’t be underestimated. The author of A Beautiful Disaster, The Way Up Is Down, and Forty Days on Being a Nine, Marlena lives with her husband and three daughters in Toledo, Ohio.
