The subtitle of this book really sums it up quite well: “Sometimes, all a person needs is a little perspective.” Perspective is the power of this story. 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 […]
I had a great day running the Country Music 1/2 Marathon! A couple of days before the race, Matt suggested I take the “Catron Cam” along to document the race from a runner’s perspective. So I grabbed my Kodak Zi6 little mini HD cam and headed out to the race today. Enjoy! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EbOomjeW1w] WARNING: This […]
It’s less than 24 hours ’til the big race! I’m getting nervous excited. Today is all about eating and resting. Can’t complain about that really. 😉 Matt has challenged me to take a “Catron Cam” on the run tomorrow so that I can document for you all the events of my day. I think I’m […]
One thing I know of leaders is that they are wired to constantly be learning and to relentlessly be evaluating their lives and their leadership. But as a leader, sometimes it’s easy to get stuck.

[vimeo=http://www.vimeo.com/4182901] Cross Point Nashville launched the new series Hope Now today. I can’t imagine a time when the need for hope wasn’t more appropriate.

“I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.” Ephesians 4:1-2 My friend Linnae invited us to read Ephesians with her this week so I thought I would jump in. This scripture is one of those that […]
“To become truer to myself, rather than preoccupied with my successes, will mean learning to live without the intoxication of the praise and affirmation of others.” Charles Ringma from “Dare to Journey with Henri Nouwen” … to live without the intoxication of the praise and affirmation of others. I don’t think I need to say […]
I came across this short video clip of Carly Fiorina talking about the dynamics of change and fear. Every leader and every organization deals with change and the fear of change. Do you rise to the challenge or buckle underneath it? [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3IbKbDhfKw] Btw – One of my favorite leadership memoirs is Carly’s book Tough Choices.
We truly had an extraordinary Easter weekend at both of our Cross Point Campuses! I was most blessed by the amazing sacrifice of literally hundreds of volunteers: Musicians and production volunteers at both campuses gave up their entire weekend to cover all 8 services! Many of our Kidz World volunteers served numerous services throughout the […]
It’s Saturday. I’m gearing up for our first Easter service tonight and I’m feeling very contemplative. I’ve always celebrated Easter. And while bunnies, baskets, eggs, and fancy dresses were always a part of it, my family did communicate the significance of Christ’s death and resurrection. But for some reason Easter is affecting me differently this […]
