For those of you in full-time church ministry you likely woke up this morning with a big fat Easter hangover. Easter weekend included additional services, increased attendance, extra events, more production – every aspect of ministry was in overdrive for the biggest weekend of the church calendar. Now what? Frankly, you and your team are […]
It’s a huge privilege to be featured today on Carey Nieuwhof’s Leadership Podcast. If you ask me who I read and listen to for leadership development, Carey will be one of the first people I name. Carey is a leader who is living out his leadership in the local church and doing it with […]
I love great teams. I love building great teams. I love building teams of great leaders. I echo John Maxwell… “everything rises or fall on leadership.” The power of leadership through teams is exponential. Ryan T. Hartwig and Warren Bird have recently written this great book: Teams That Thrive: Five Disciplines of Collaborative Church Leadership […]

I’ve been in Las Vegas for the last several days with my husband and Pete & Brandi. We had the privilege to get some time to connect with Jud & Lori Wilhite and to see the amazing impact they are making at Central in Vegas. Here’s some of what I observed from our time with […]
We had a great Sunday at both campuses this week. My highlights are a bit delayed because I wanted to give you some media rather than my written highlights. At Cross Point Nashville we wrapped up the Q series with an edge-of-your-seat live q&a session with Pete. Dickson Campus Pastor, Chad Roberts, moderated questions that […]
