In my “Create a Crisis” series I’ve talked about what a Thematic Goal is and what the process is like for creating one. Today I thought I would reveal what our Cross Point Staff Thematic Goal is for 2009. This year our thematic goal is about securing the foundation among our staff. As I was […]
I spent the morning at Cross Point Dickson and had the privilege of leading this congregation through the close of the Paralyzed series. As it was in Nashville last week, it was a very powerful service in Dickson today. Then I hustled back to Nashville to catch Blake Bergstrom‘s first message at Cross Point. Blake […]

Ryan and I are hanging out with the staff and volunteers of The Healing Place Church in Baton Rouge, LA. This church freakin’ amazes me by their love and compassion for people.

I get a lot of questions about what we do for staff leadership and development at Cross Point, so I thought I would start sharing more of the behind-the-scenes details of how we lead and manage. A couple of years ago I read Silos, Politics & Turf Wars by Patrick Lencioni and quickly adopted his […]
We continued the Paralyzed series today at Cross Point Nashville with “Fear of the Unknown”. Matthew Paul Turner was a guest in our services today and shared a reading about “fear”. I absolutely love Matthew’s wit and sarcasm, while yet conveying some very important truths. If you missed it, we recorded it so we’ll be […]
Spent the morning at Cross Point Dickson today and I’m continually amazed at how God is moving in this community! I couldn’t help but be a bit nostalgic. Technically the 1 year anniversary of the launch of this campus was a few weeks ago, but whether they knew it or not, I was celebrating it […]
