There seems to be a consistent theme in leadership circles as of late about the importance of things like rhythm, balance and pace of life. I think we’ve been wearing ourselves out for too long and we’re desperately seeking some sanity. This morning I read this great excerpt from the devotional Dare To Journey with […]
Yesterday was a very big day for all of our campuses. Pete shared a big vision and plans for the future of Cross Point. I’m so excited about what God is up to through our church! There is no way that I could adequately recap the vision that Pete shared in such a powerful way […]
Today was our second event for Cultivate Her and we had an amazing time! I’ve never seen so many ladies that eager to be up at 7AM!!

In less than 12 hours I fly out of the country on a ten day trip. And rather than being excited about getting away with my husband for a much needed vacation, I’m freakishly trying to make sure I’ve crossed all my t’s and dotted all my i’s. I’m sure the staff are about fed […]
