Craig Brain is not your brain or my brain, but neither must unity be predicated upon uniformity, and this is an invitation for you to take a peek inside the gross (pun intended), squishy alien matter inside of Craig’s Brain. Take a peek.

Fives are alert, insightful, and curious. They are able to concentrate and focus on developing complex ideas and skills. Independent, innovative, and inventive, they can also become preoccupied with their thoughts and imaginary constructs. They become detached, yet high-strung and intense. They typically have problems with eccentricity, nihilism, and isolation. At their Best: visionary pioneers, often ahead of their time, and able to see the world in an entirely new way.

TI’m Craig gross, a 42 year old type 3 who discovered the Enneagram over a year ago from my friends Levi and Brandi. I didn’t care much for it until I read The Path Between Us and read it aloud to my wife Jeanette. After 20 years of marriage trying to turn my type 5 wife into a 3 like me, I finally gave up and realized I should just try and understand her more and work on myself. In the last few months I have made significant changes in my work life, home life, and beyond as I dig more into ...

I don’t know where to begin this conclusion. It feels like a daunting task. I am not a naturally gifted, empathetic writer like Levi. I don’t have profound, deep thoughts like Craig. One thing I know for sure, though, is that my husband is a different person from the nineteen-year-old I met in 1995. Of course, he would be different in appearance. H…

“You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.

Does your brain ever turn off? Can you check out of it? Is it telling you positive things or negative things? It recently occurred to me that "normal" doesn't exist, because my normal isn't yours.

Pain is an incredible teacher. If only it didn’t hurt so much. It occurred to me while reimagining all of these journal entries for this project that I haven’t written much about my mom.

Our constant need to capture and share every waking hour of our lives is making us miss it entirely. Everyone wants to show everyone else what they’re doing. We want to say we’ve been there. We’ve done it. In the process, we miss being there. We miss doing it. We share the present at its own expense, scrolling through comments about a moment we pos…

Every adult, to one degree or another, functions from negative patterns that were ingrained in them during childhood. To break free from those patterns - to establish new, healthy ways of being - we first need to identify what they are. In other words: we're diving headfirst into the deep end. If you've made it this far into the Craig Brain journey…

One night, my wife and I were talking about what we should do for our twentieth wedding anniversary.

I'll start here: I was a virgin when I married Jeanette. She wasn't.

How many people are in the same boat, struggling with what should be in the f…

Beyond our situation, what we’ve learned through our work at XXXchurch is that wives, in general, have a difficult time believing that they live up to the women their husbands see every day – on the street, on a billboard, watching porn. The comparisons eat away at a woman’s confidence because at the end of the day, she wants to be the subject of h…

People get popular (or–if not popular–discover some measure of success) doing what they love to do. But growth, success and/or popularity involve maintenance, and it doesn’t take long before you’re stuck in the weeds, where working on “maintaining” your passion replaces all that you were passionate about in the first place. I’ve had to do my fair s…

I’ve always hated talent shows, and I’ve always thought that we should probably be calling them something more appropriate, like: Not-So-Talented-Shows.
