I don’t have a lot of extra commentary for you today. I’m still wrestling with my place in multi-site ministry now with four campuses. Some days I feel like I’m needed everywhere and other days I feel like I’m needed nowhere. Kinda messes with me. Pete’s message kicked my butt, though. Read at your own […]
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Philippians 2:3 Another GREAT “grey” leadership issue is finding the balance between ambition and self-promotion, especially as church leaders. In our ambition we pursue the dreams that God has laid on our hearts. I believe that God expects […]
Control. Direct. Manipulate. Maneuver. Arrange. Plan. Organize. We do these things all the time. We’re always trying to create the outcomes that we want in life. But inevitably, with nearly everything in life, there comes a point when you can no longer plan, control or manipulate the result. There is always something beyond your control. […]
It was a crazy, good day today at Cross Point. Our team put a lot of work into making this weekend a memorable one for everyone with the launch of our DNA series. We do this series once a year to share the vision, heart and soul of our church. You would think it gets […]
** This is a pondering left over from this past Sunday. Have you ever felt this way? I wasn’t needed today. 3000 + attendees 25 staff Hundreds of volunteers Baptism at one campus Communion at the others And I wasn’t needed. I wasn’t needed to: Solve a problem React to a crisis Identify something that […]
I’m enjoying this great little book, Unwritten Travels, written by my friend Jenny Black. One of the exercises in the book is to describe how you would spend an ENTIRE DAY if you could do whatever you wanted? Here’s mine: On a beach… in the fall Sun is out, but temp is moderate Walking, reading, […]
We wrapped up the Chronicles series today at Cross Point. I started out at the Nashville campus and then headed to Bellevue to celebrate baptisms at their 11:00 AM service. Today was our first baptism Sunday for this campus – such a special milestone. The reality of four campuses continues to be an interesting dynamic. […]
August 18th is our next Cultivate Her event here in Nashville and our team is excitedly gearing up for it! This month we’re going to be talking about the power of influence. We’ll be celebrating stories of women who have influenced our leadership in a significant way. Was there someone in your life who believed […]
“The Leader’s voice always speaks the loudest” “When decision needs to be made, a leader will eventually emerge.” I’m not sure if these are direct quotes from anyone, but they are phrases that have stuck with me. Leaders are seemingly born to take charge. We do this naturally. If we feel the slightest bit of […]
I had the privilege of spending my day at the Dickson Campus today. I’m really excited about this campus (which happens to be the one we’re interviewing for a Campus Pastor.) There’s a great spirit of community here and a passion to reach the city and county of Dickson with the hope of Christ. I […]
