Well, I thought it would be a fitting way to wind up the year by going back and revisiting a few posts from the past 12 months. I went back to my stats and just pulled the top 5 most viewed posts. I don’t think these are necessarily the top 5 best posts or even [...]

Derek Webb is a super talented singer/songwriter  here in Nashville.  INO Records just released his new project called “Feedback.” It’s an instrumental electronic message based on The Lord’s Prayer and definitely worth checking out!  There are also paintings by Scott Erickson as well as a video and photos by Jeremy Cowert that all coincide with the project [...]

Well, my favorite Christmas present this year came from my in-laws who gave me a clay target thrower. I don’t know if you’ve ever been skeet shooting but it’s a blast. Skeet is a “recreational and competitive activity where participants attempt to break clay disks flung into the air at high speed.” Just in case [...]

Well, we woke up to a white Christmas!!! The first time that’s happened since I was a kid. It started snowing on Christmas Eve and kept going through the morning. It was amazing! Brandi and I took a walk on Christmas Eve around 11:30 just to soak it all in. We started Christmas morning at [...]

I’m getting so stinkin’ excited I can hardly stand it. Christmas is finally HERE!!!! We’re crazy busy right now and in the middle of a bunch of Christmas Eve services but I wanted to pause for just a moment to wish you guys a Merry Christmas. We’re so blessed to have you as part of [...]

I have no idea what we used to do before iPhones and Flip cameras which have given us the ability to capture random moments on video. The other night we were at my friend and colleague’s house, Blake, when a bird flew into the house through their front door. For a moment I thought about [...]

My friend, Brad, posted a great quote the other day from Dietrich Bonhoeffer who reportedly said this from a Nazi Prison in 1943. “God is in the manger, wealth in poverty, light in darkness, succor in abandonment. No evil can befall us; whatever men may do to us, they cannot but serve the God who [...]

I’ve been accused over the years by friends and a certain young lady I’ve been married to for 14 years of being a cheap skate. I prefer to refer to myself as a wise steward. My winter philosophy when it comes to thermostat management is that you can always add another layer if you think [...]

Yesterday at Cross Point we attempted to create a “go and do likewise” kind of moment where we challenged all four of our campuses to give the very shoes they had on their feet to help out our over 300 million shoeless “neighbors”. I could never describe in words what happened but these pictures from [...]

There is no doubt that our Cross Point Christmas Eve services are my favorite of the year. I look forward to them all year.  Really hoping you’ll invite someone to come along with you. Here are the times and locations. I’m also really excited about a video we shot last week for Christmas Eve. Here’s [...]
