So after three weeks I don’t think I’m going to get a pass any week of this series. It appears that I wrestle with all the idols thus far [sigh]. The Illusion of Money by Pete Wilson No one thinks money is an idol in their lives. Luke 12:13-15 Greed comes in so many different […]
I was really hoping I was gonna catch a break this week on the “Empty Promises” series… you know, take a little breather since last week’s message about the idol of success was such a kick-in-the-pants for me, but N O P E. No. “Addicted to Approval” hit me right between the eyes, and so… […]
I recently announced the cool opportunity that Cultivate Her gets to be a part of with Leading & Loving It and Mercy Ministries this year at the Catalyst Conference in Atlanta. I’ve talked about Leading & Loving It before and how much I love what they do, so I thought it would be great to […]
I really don’t have a lot of additional commentary to give today because I’m still reeling from the kick in the pants Pete’s message gave me. Read at your own risk… at least we got my big idol out of the way early in the series. 🙂 The Seduction of Achievement by Pete Wilson Ecclesiastes […]

The problem? Yep, you guessed it. Everything that needs to be done never really gets done. Week after […]
I realize I nearly always start my Sunday Highlights with something about it being a great day at Cross Point. I’m sorry if that sounds redundant and unimaginative but I truly do enjoy Sundays at all of our campuses. There are ALWAYS things that could be better, things that I’ll ask questions about or coach […]
Ahhh, it’s Friday! Doesn’t matter how short the week is, Friday is always fabulous. I’ve got two big things on my mind this weekend. 1) Guatemala and my friend Lindsey Lindsey is on the Compassion bloggers trip this week and I’ve been praying for God to do some incredible things in her life and in […]
I absolutely love this time of year… … the cool mornings that are a breath of fresh air after a relentlessly hot summer … the return of routine – school, football, prime time TV, etc. But one of the things that I love the most about this time of year is the opportunities to gather, […]
Today we wrapped up the DNA series by having all of our campus pastors speak live at their respective campuses. I got to listen to their planning and rehearsals this past week and it was exciting to hear how they were each wrapping up our vision series by sharing stories and future plans for their […]
