“As long as we are working hard, using our gifts to serve others, experiencing joy in our work along with the toil, we are always in danger of believing that our actions trigger God’s love for us. Only in stopping, really stopping, do we teach our hearts and souls that we are loved apart from […]
Our staff value mini-series continues today… Cross Point Staff Value #5 Own It – we are serious about understanding our passion and purpose and living that out everyday.

My morning runs are set within the lush and hilly landscape here in Franklin, TN. These runs have some pretty intense hills so it always challenges me mentally and physically. Some of these hills can be daunting and I’ve learned a few ways to lean in and approach them with the drive and intensity necessary […]
