In this episode, Giles and Alison explore Type 3 – The Achiever, a driven and success-oriented personality that thrives on accomplishment and recognition. But beneath their ambition often lies a deep fear of failure and a struggle with tying their worth to external validation.
Through biblical insights, including the story of Joseph and Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness, we unpack how Type 3s can move from a performance-based identity to a life rooted in God’s unconditional love. We also examine how spiritual practices like solitude, confession, and social media fasting can help Threes embrace authenticity over image and refute the lie that “I am what other people say or think about me.”
If you or someone you love is a Type 3, this episode offers encouragement, truth, and practical wisdom for living with purpose beyond achievement.
