TGC Contributor Ironically Praises Enneagram On Podcast about ‘False Teaching’

Yesterday we brought you a video from a recent episode of the Let’s Talk podcast, featuring, Jackie Hill-Perry, Jasmine Holmes, and Melissa Kruger talking about race relations and critical race theory that went sideways real fast. In a new episode, while discussing “how to identify false teachers as well as the difference between false teaching and mere differences of interpretation” host Jasmine Holmes ironically praises the enneagram, something that two other TGC writers have previously condemned here and sorta here, but also not really.

We ourselves have written about it in a few places, after Christianity Today (Ft Russell Moore) Advances False Claim That The Enneagram Has ‘Christian Roots’ and Conservative PCA Seminary Puts on New-Age ‘Enneagram Seminar’.

In a nutshell, however, it is a thoroughly occultic, demonic, new-age woo-woo trash that no Christian should have anything to do with. It has nothing to do with Christianity, nothing to offer or teach Christianity, and is fit to be burned for the pagan heap of bovine scatology that it is.

Holmes evidently disagrees:

“And I just think somebody who is a high achiever and who thinks that if you pull yourself up by your bootstraps, and if you work really hard, you’re going to get ahead in life, would be attracted to maybe somebody who’s like a prosperity teacher, not in an outward way, but in more of a like, ‘Hey, do these 10 Easy Steps’ And if you just do them (You’ll get the life you want) Right?

And that to me makes sense that somebody who’s like an achiever would, and for me, like, okay, so I’m an Enneagram, five, I know, every time we mentioned Enneagram, I just imagine, like, half of our listeners are like, ‘Why?’ “False Teaching”

Sorry, um, but I love information. Information comforts me so much. Like, just tell me how it works, tell me what it is, and I’m gonna feel so much better. And for me, I think that I am sometimes attracted to people who have all the answers. Just give me the answers to my questions and I’m going to listen to you, if you have answers that soothe me, if you have answers that comfort me, that is definitely something that I’ve noticed throughout my walk that I’m attracted to.”

TGC ‘Lets Talk’ Podcast Features Ladies Lyin’ and Acting the Fools over Critical Race Theory

The Gospel Coalition continues to put out some really loathsome content. Whether it be articles, videos, or podcasts, it’s gotten to the point where it’s almost easier to roll your eyes at it than it is to criticize it. A recent example is the Let’s talk” video that was put out a few days ago featuring Jackie Hill Perry, Jasmine Holmes, and Melissa Kruger featuring a discussion on race relations. Earlier, Jackie Hill Perry proffered the laughable claim that backlash to Critical Race Theory was “being used to limit” history lessons About Harriet Tubman. In this one, Jasmine Holmes mocks apologetics against destructive heresies, while sharing a few untruths along the way.

One notable moment would be the following interaction:

JACKIE HILL PERRY: Why has [critical race theory] become such a curse word, then?

JASMINE HOLMES: I think it’s easy because people don’t know what it is. So if you don’t fully understand it, it’s like, you guys remember when secular humanism was, like, all the rage?

PERRY: I don’t, actually, but tell me.

HOLMES: Oh my gosh, do you remember?

MELISSA KRUGER: I remember that word, but I’m not sure.

HOLMES: I’m a child of the ’90s, and I was, like, a Christian in the ’90s, so, like, secular humanism was, like, the bad thing. That was the thing that we were all, like, really supposed to be looking out for, was secular humanism. And if you said, “What is secular humanism?” People would be, like, “It’s secular. And it’s humanist. And you have to be careful about it. Because it is both humanist and secular.”

And so, like, teenage Jasmine was like, “I gotta be careful, because secular humanists are,” and then it was like, post-modernism. And it was like, “What’s post-modernism?” “Well, it’s just not being traditional. It’s, like, non-traditional.” “Oh, okay.”

And then there was a little stint, there was a little season in there where it was like evolution was going to take down the Christian, like, we needed to know how to argue with an evolutionist. It was a very important, it was like you, the seven days of creation, get into it, because they’re coming after you. They’re coming after you next.

So, like, it’s always, I just feel like critical race theory is our new villain now. And it’s an easy one because it’s so hard to understand.
