For this week of Christmas I’ve invited some friends to share their stories about giving. I hope you’ll be inspired and challenged as you read different stories of different gifts that had much greater impact than the tangible things we tend to focus on this time of year. Today my friend Nicole Unice is sharing […]
One of my favorite things to give and to receive is a good book. I read all kinds… business, marketing, fiction, leadership, biographies, devotionals… I love to read. I love to learn. And I love imposing this love on others 🙂 I do have a couple rules, though about how I choose books. Any book […]
I’m honored to have Tim Elmore as my guest today. Tim is a brilliant leader who focuses much of his leadership passion on the upcoming generation. He has amazing insight in developing leadership in young people. As part of his “12 Days of Christmas Parenting” series, we’re talking about growing obedience in your kids. And […]
In this December of Giving I’m sharing different ways that you can give that are beyond physical gifts. I know that each of you has a story of how you’ve given uniquely to someone or have received something unique from someone else. I would love to hear your stories! For the week of Christmas, December […]

This week we’re finishing up our series on the 4 Dimensions of Leadership. The last dimension we’re talking about is Spiritual Leadership and I’m dividing this one into two parts. This is the dimension that is unique to faith-based leaders. I believe it’s the dimension that sets us apart… and it’s not just for those […]
Today’s Dimension is another doozie. Visionary Leadership. I think this is the toughest dimension to learn if it’s not your natural leadership dimension (maybe I just think that because it’s the most difficult one for me). But when someone is a strong visionary leader, it’s undeniable. People naturally want to follow them. That’s the kind […]
Today we continue the 4 Dimensions Series with a post on the dimension of self-leadership from Cross Point’s Spiritual Formation Pastor, Chris Surratt. This dimension is HUGE to your leadership balance and I have been amazed by Chris’ ability to lead himself so well and to teach his team to do the same. Chris has […]
As part of our series about the four dimensions of leadership, today’s guest post is from Pat Rowland, our Family Ministries Pastor at Cross Point. Pat joined our staff almost three years ago and he has been through many growth transitions and changes that we have experienced. The thing I love about Pat is how […]
My first career job was, at the time, my dream job. After about a year of “paying my dues” working the front desk and personally assisting everyone in the office, I was promoted to the “real work”… the fun stuff… marketing, promotions, artist development, etc. I was now playing with the big kids. I was […]
