I’ve done a lot of weddings. In fact, I’ve done 211 weddings if my memory serves me correctly. With a host of phenomenal campus pastors here at Cross Point I don’t do near as many as I used to. However, this weekend I had the honor of performing the wedding of my former assistant, Wes [...]

The uber-talented Josh Wilson has a new single coming out called “I Refuse.” The video features Cross Point’s volunteers out serving the community during the flood. Thought it was fitting to post this today as hundreds of Cross Point volunteers are once again giving up another Saturday to serve those impacted by the flood. It’s [...]

Brandi and I have led community groups for years. In fact, I don’t think we’ve ever not led a group in our almost 14 years of marriage. We love it. Everything about it. Well, almost everything about it. This past Tuesday night only two of our 14 person community group showed up (they all had [...]

In an effort to not become a talking head here on WithoutWax, I’ve reserved Thursday for “Thursday Is For Thinking.” I ask a question and you guys move from lurking to chatting.

What a great weekend!  Don’t want to brag too much but man I love my family and my church. From football and soccer games to a trip to Amish country and ending with our Cross Point fall picnic we had a blast. The only downside to the whole weekend was pairing up with Jon Acuff [...]

The past few days have been a blur. I’ve had the time of my life down at Catalyst speaking, hanging out with friends, and meeting tons of new people. While being around people generally energizes me I found myself getting home last night and feeling exhausted. It’s funny the mental games we play when we [...]

Hey Guys! Sorry I’ve been kind of absent around here the past few days. I’m down in Atlanta speaking and doing various things with the Catalyst Conference. Having a blast but we’re working like crazy. I’ll catch you up on everything over the next few days. For now here’s this weeks Empty Promises “Mashup”. Enjoy! [...]

I’ll be the first to admit that I often see things differently than Shane Hipps. However, I really appreciate the thoughtfulness in which he approaches life, culture, and Scripture.
