Cross Point India

It’s not unusual for me to be at a different Cross Point Campus each Sunday.  That’s one of the great things about my job… I get to experience ministry in the context of that local campus.  Each campus has it’s own strengths and uniquenesses. This past Sunday I traveled literally half way around the world […]

Love In Another Language

Happy Valentine’s Day! While most of you are just beginning the day, mine is drawing to close over here in Kolkata, India. What a unique way to spend Valentine’s Day.

Be Compelling, Not Obnoxious

Ok, I have to share… I have a small pet peeve. I cringe when I see things that are labeled “Christian”. I’ll give you an example: Over the Christmas holiday, my husband and I made the long drive back to Wisconsin to visit some of my family.  I usually busy myself with reading or writing […]
