One of the things I love the most about leading our team is the out-of-the-office time together. Usually the schedule is insanely full and we’re exhausted when we get back. This trip was no different in that regard, but the highlight of our time together for me was the candor, vulnerability and honesty our team […]
You hear this phrase a lot in leadership circles, “everybody’s replaceable”. I think we throw it out there to keep us humble, to remind ourselves that the world doesn’t revolve around us and that things could go on without us.

I’ve had a lot of discussions with our staff about the importance of delegation. Delegating to volunteers has always been a big part of our culture at Cross Point but lately it seems that this principle is more important than ever. In the context of the church environment delegation is really about inviting people into […]
