In his book, Andy explains why this simple principle has such a profound impact on every area of our lives. He shares how each decision we make affects our destination. Whether a failed relationship, an unmet […]
Honestly, I’m not quite sure how to process today yet. It was an emotional overload… and I’m usually not so good with my emotions. I started the day at Cross Point Dickson and was impacted again by Justin & Trisha Davis’ story. Justin and Trisha were actually with us in Dickson this morning and it […]
About 8 months ago I decided to tackle a new adventure… the game of tennis. I began taking lessons with a pro to learn how to play the game instead of just chasing a ball around the court. I’ll be honest, this has been a lot harder than I expected. I thought I had some […]

We continued the “Hope Now” series today at Cross Point Nashville with “Hope for your Marriage” showcasing the powerful story of Justin & Trisha Davis.

I went a little wild with the electric hedge trimmers tonight. This poor bush got the brunt of my OCD. About half way through hacking away at it, I got to thinking… This bush was just doing what it is designed to do. It’s spring, so it’s growing, budding and blossoming at a rapid pace. […]
I believe that mission trips are one of the most powerful ways for you to come face-to-face with the raw emotion of life. I went on my first oversees mission trip to Honduras when I was 16 years old. Since then I have been to The Philippines, The Dominican Republic and Africa on mission trips. […]

In The Noticer Andy Andrews retells his own dramatic story of gaining life-changing perspective from a little old man named “Jones”. Jones, a self-proclaimed “noticer” weaves his way […]
