    Episode 55 - Jordan Feliz
    Jun 20 2025
    In this heartfelt episode, hosts Kim and Ben sit down with celebrated CCM artist Jordan Feliz. Known for hits like "The River," "Beloved," and "Jesus Is Coming Back," Jordan opens up about his Enneagram journey, how it influences his life and music, and the ways it has shaped his relationships—with his wife Jamie, their children, and those he meets on the road.Jordan candidly discusses the challenges and strengths of being an Enneagram Type 9 with a 1 wing, the importance of empathy, and how learning about personality types has improved his marriage and parenting. He also shares the inspiration behind his children’s book “Beloved,” and the story of how gratitude helped him overcome a painful season of anxiety, inspiring his latest single, "Somebody Praise God for That."Together, Kim, Ben, and Jordan delve into the beauty and burden of being a peacemaker, navigating different personalities within family and friendships, and the spiritual growth that comes through gratitude and self-awareness.KEY TAKEAWAYSEnneagram Journey: Jordan is an Enneagram Type 9 with a 1 wing. He highlights how understanding his type, and those of others, has brought empathy and patience into his life, marriage, and parenting.Energy, Personality, and Performance: Despite common perceptions about Type 9s and energy, Jordan discusses how being an “extroverted nine” impacts his performance and interactions, noting that meet-and-greets can be more draining than concerts because of their emotional intensity.Marriage and Communication: Learning about Enneagram types has strengthened his marriage. Understanding his wife Jamie’s (Type 6, wing 7) needs and communication styles helps them find common ground, especially during challenging conversations.Parenting: Jordan and his wife observe emerging personality traits in their children, tailoring their parenting approach to support their uniqueness and foster secure identities."Beloved" and Affirming Identity: The book and song “Beloved” were born from a desire to instill unconditional worth in children, combating cultural pressures with the truth of God’s love.Anxiety & Gratitude: Jordan’s story of overcoming a season of anxiety by intentionally practicing gratitude demonstrates the transformative power of thankfulness and praising God in all circumstances.Spirituality in Practice: He emphasizes that living out faith is about day-to-day relationship and practicing gratitude, not just “checking off” religious duties.Future Orientation: Jordan shares that he and his family are learning to live with open hands concerning the future, choosing faith and flexibility as they wait on God’s guidance.RESOURCESJordan Feliz Official Website: www.jordanfeliz.comBeloved (Children’s Book): Learn more about the inspirational children’s book referenced in the episode. store.centricitymusic.com/products/beloved-bookMUSIC BY JORDAN FELIZ“The River”“Beloved”“Jesus Is Coming Back”“Somebody Praise God for That”WAYS TO CONNECTNewsletter: Subscribe for further information about enneagram types and regular updates from the podcast.
