There are not enough kids in my life… or more accurately I don’t make enough time to spend with the sweet kids in my life. That was my Sunday lesson yesterday. After a very long and challenging day, I was racing home to meet my sister and two of my little friends to bake Christmas […]
It’s all things C H R I S T M A S my friends! Christmas decorating. Christmas shopping. Christmas cookie baking. Christmas movie watching. Christmas light hanging. Christmas party going. Christmas cleaning. Christmas laundry. Well… okay, not the last two. But they sound better if you put Christmas in front of them. 🙂 That’s […]
My staff. My ministry. Our team. Our people. These are some of the phrases that scare me the most as a ministry leader. I went through an emotionally unhealthy season (one of many) a few years back where I began to take credit for some of the great things that were happening at Cross […]

“If you deplete your resources, run yourself to exhaustion, and then get caught at the wrong moment by an external shock, you can be in serious trouble.” That’s a wake-up call from Jim Collin’s new book Great by Choice.

I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving! I like Thanksgiving alright, but mostly for the fact that as soon as it’s over I have full license to break into all things Christmas!

As quarterback for the Titans, Matt sits in a place of influence that he doesn’t take lightly. This Sunday (Nov 27) we’ll be sharing Pete‘s interview with Matt in our services […]
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve done a Sunday Lessons post.. sorry about that. We wrapped up the Better Days series at Cross Point today with a message on “Gratitude”… fitting of course for the week of Thanksgiving. Although it was the type of message that most of us will hear this week, Pete’s […]
I’ve been in Dallas yesterday and today with my team at Leadership Network. Chris, Kevin, Stephen & I are part of a Leadership Development Community where we are focusing on our leadership development plan for Cross Point. While I love the content and purpose of this trip, I love even more the intentional time with […]
Full-time ministry work is harder. It’s a greater sacrifice. It’s more difficult on your family.

In fact, I think it’s a dangerous lie that sabotages ministry workers […]
