Every Christmas I do this. I pledge to make Christmas about the true meaning. I vow to escape the commercialism and find joy in the real reason of the season (sorry, I couldn’t help the cliche). And every year I still mess it up. Can you relate? There is nothing more powerful than THE gift […]
I love, love, love Christmas! I can remember as a little girl planning for Christmas for literally months. I loved to give gifts, but in order to do that on my meager allowance or babysitting money I would have to start planning EARLY. I’m talking like September – seriously! I loved to give gifts to […]
My friend Greg Darley is guest blogging today. Greg is the founder of Backstage Leadership and has just finished his first book Passion Is Not Enough. In the short time I’ve known Greg I’ve been so inspired by his drive and ambition and this book is an overflow of who he is. Good intentions don’t […]
The Sunday after Thanksgiving! It’s my official “put up the Christmas tree” day. My husband and I enjoyed a few days with his family for Thanksgiving and were excited to be back home to officially kick off the Christmas season. I’ve cut back a bit on my Christmas decorating this year, but I have to […]

Today’s Dimension is another doozie. Visionary Leadership.

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 […]
Here are a few highlights from today at Cross Point: We introduced Willy & Shay Maxwell to the Dickson Campus. Willy will be our new Campus Pastor for this campus officially January 1. We’re so excited to have them! Our Nashville and North campuses incorporated baptisms into their worship services today. So powerful! Pete delivered […]
Grateful. That’s the word that has been haunting me lately. Pete talked about it at our staff trip. Randy wrote a beautiful post about seeing the best in everything. And I’ve been reading the essays from my friend Kat‘s book, The Daily Verse. One of the essays is about her grueling eye surgeries where she […]
