This week flew by! Fortunately it was a very good one. Here are some things on my mind today: An important project that I’ve been working on (which happened to be one of my thorns), is officially complete today! Holy cow, that’s a wonderful feeling. I’m not sure how to adequately celebrate it. It’s been […]
I did it again. One of my greatest repeated leadership failures. I failed to L I S T E N. Oh, I hear words. I read emails. I have conversations. But sometimes I just don’t listen. I don’t pick up on attitude. I don’t read eyes. I don’t notice lack of enthusiasm. I don’t observe […]
One of the greatest monsters that I wrestle with in my leadership is being confident in the calling and gifting God has for me. I battle the usual suspects of insecurity, fear and playing the comparison game. Last month at our Cultivate Her event in Nashville, I shared the story of Deborah and the confidence […]
According to the L.A. Times, Eclipse opened with first week sales of $175.3 million making it the most successful first week sales for any movie so far this year.

I’d heard crazy good things about the first year and I was hungry to soak myself in an environment that would feed the leadership development monster that was growing inside of me. Over the last 10 years, Catalyst has become a staple […]
One of the challenges I find as a leader is sorting through all of the great resources out there for equipping yourself and your team. There are so many GOOD books, articles, blogs, etc. that sometimes I feel like all I’m doing is reading or studying rather than applying anything that I’m learning. I also […]
I tend to keep a stupid pace. I commit myself to too many additional projects. I try to squeeze in just one more call, email or blog post. You know what I mean. Most of you do this too. Every once and awhile, I find myself dreading even the things that I would otherwise enjoy. […]
I find myself processing a lot what I call the “grey” issues of leadership… the answers and decisions that are not so easy to figure out. (I think that’s why they call it leadership, right?) As Cross Point has grown, one of the big grey areas for me is the leadership of letting go. I […]
