So Proud of You Guys!

I can’t tell you how proud I am of Cross Point Church right now. I watched hundreds of volunteers give up their Saturday to get out and serve the under resourced in their own community. Ryan Bult, our Director of Missions, set up half a dozen projects all over the city so people could get [...]

BackSeat Jesus

This weekend we’re kicking off a new series entitled “Backseat Jesus”. I can’t tell you how excited I am. I’m afraid it’s going to be one of those ‘controversial’ series, so I could really use your prayers. I’ve been studying Ezekiel 16 for week one and it’s been rocking my world. If you get a [...]

Destroying My Marriage?

Every once in a while God puts someone in your life you know is a gift from the first time you meet them. Several years ago I had the opportunity to serve on church staff with Justin Davis. Justin and his wife Trish quickly became close friends. They’ve been through a lot over the past [...]

God’s Presence

I’ve been doing my quiet time out of Exodus lately. Moses is a leader I can learn a lot from. Exodus 33:15 “Then Moses said to him, ‘If your presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.” God promised Moses he would send his angel before them and guide them [...]

Hard to Swallow

My wife is a genius. All three of our boys are picky eaters like me. To motivate them she instituted the “tasty club”. You’ll get a kick out this one… The Tasty Club from Pete Wilson on Vimeo. So what food would we have to bribe you to get you to eat? Mine, would be [...]

Helpful or exploitive?

The other day Katdish pointed me to THIS BLOG which had a very interesting topic. The topic was poverty and viral marketing. You were pointed to THIS SITE entitled “Pimp this Bum” where you could choose to financially help Tim, a homeless man. I’ve been debating this in my head for a few days now. [...]

The Breath of God

The other day I was walking around in our yard early in the morning and I decided to take a few pictures of the heavy frost. When I went back to look at the pics I was surprised at how beautiful the detail of frost actually is. Amazing that our Creator would care enough to [...]

Get Ready Nashville

A week from this today on February 28th, Cross Point Nashville is going to spread all over the city to show God’s love and grace to this community. This is our first serving Saturday of the year! Watch the video below and let us know if you’re willing to join us for any of the [...]

Struggling to Love

There’s a wedding I get to perform tonight and I’ve been looking over my notes this morning. As usual, 1 Corinthians 13 is one of the selected scriptures.  Sometimes when a particular passage has become redundant to me I like to read it out of a different translation. For this wedding I’m going to use [...]

Blessed

God has blessed my life with so many things for which I’m thankful. Great friends. Incredible church family. Loving extended family. Encouraging blog community. But by far, my most significant blessing is my family. When I’ve had a tough day full of long hours, tough decisions,  and emotionally draining conversations…. When I feel like I’ve [...]
