In Why Do I Do What I Do? Exploring the Enneagram, Paul invites listeners on a journey of self-discovery through one of the most transformative tools he’s ever encountered: the Enneagram.
Rooted in timeless wisdom like “Know thyself” and “The unexamined life is not worth living,” this season explores how true integrity begins when our inner life and outer life align. Paul shares how the Enneagram moved beyond personality descriptions to reveal the deeper motivations, fears, and longings that shape our choices—and how this self-knowledge can lead to spiritual growth and deeper intimacy with God.
Across three months of episodes, Paul will unpack the Enneagram as a whole, dive into conversations with people from all nine types, and offer reflections on what it means to live authentically before God. Whether you’re new to the Enneagram or have studied it for years, this podcast will help you slow down, reflect deeply, and discover the freedom that comes when you know yourself and surrender fully to the One who knows you best and loves you most.

How to Talk About Faith, Politics, and Sexuality Without Losing A Friend
#40 Over the past 10 months, we’ve tackled some of the most polarizing topics in culture—faith, politics, sexuality, justice, and more—not to divide, but to unite.
In this heartfelt finale of Uncomfortable Conversations with Christians, host Paul Basden revisits the core question: How can we have hard conversations that actually bring healing?
Join us as we explore:🔹 The power of words to divide or unite (Proverbs 12:18, Ephesians 4:29)🔹 How to be known for love—even in disagreement (John 13:34-35)🔹 Practical wisdom for families, churches, and public discourse🔹 Why unity, not uniformity, is the goal of gospel conversations
Whether you’ve felt misunderstood, wrestled with opposing beliefs, or simply long for a better way to talk across divides, this episode offers both challenge and hope.
May our conversations be honest, humble, and healing. And may they always begin—and end—in love.
🎧 Listen now to the season finale, and stay tuned next week for a brand-new season: Why Do I Do What I Do? Exploring the Enneagram.
