So my friend, Marla Taviano has a new book releasing that I imagine will create a few waves. It’s one of the least talked about subjects in the church but a major issue in so many Christian marriages. And Marla’s been kind enough to allow me to give FIVE FREE COPIES of her book away. [...]

One of the most exhilarating and yet at the same time frightening challenges of my job is waking up every Monday morning to a blinking cursor on an empty page. If you write a blog or speak publicly on a regular basis you know the scenario I’m describing. It’s hard to communicate fresh, challenging material [...]

I believe one of the most obvious challenges in contemporary Christianity is we mistakenly assume that information automatically translates into transformation. However, knowing something is true does not in and of itself ensure that the truth will make a significant difference in our lives. James 1:22-25 Do not merely listen to the word, and so [...]

I thought I would take us to a deep theological place today and talk about our favorite movie lines. I’m going to be showing my inner 80′s here, but my favorite movie line is from “Top Gun.” Did I ever show you the “Top Gun” remake we did a few years ago? You can watch [...]

Yesterday we launched our new series entitled “Glimpse: Exploring Heaven, Hell & What’s Next.” As part of the first week we showed an interview I did with Todd Burpo and his son, Colton. Todd wrote the crazy popular book “Heaven Is For Real.” Regardless of what you think about the book, I love the way [...]

C.S. Lewis nails the greatest fear I have for my ministry in the following quote. Every poet and musician, but for Grace, is drawn away from love of the thing he tells, to love of the telling till, down in Deep Hell, they cannot be interested in God at all but only in what they [...]

  I can’t tell you how excited I am about our next series at Cross Point. Whatever you do don’t come alone!  You can CLICK HERE if you want to send someone an Evite. You can also join us HERE for our online campus if you’re out of town. As I told you, in Week [...]

So tonight’s the annual CMT Music Awards. I’ll be honest and admit that I haven’t actually ever seen these awards, but I’ll be watching tonight. Many of you will remember that our entire family had the opportunity last summer to go to Maine with our friend, Taylor Swift, to be a part of her video. [...]

So who says white guys can’t rap. There’s Eminem. There’s Vanilla Ice. There’s Kid Rock. There’s Will Smith (Oh wait, my bad). There’s Marky Mark. OK, so just Eminem, until today. My favorite thing about technology is that between iPhones, iPads, computers, and Flip cameras kids can make videos all the time. It’s nothing for [...]

I’ve been blessed to be surrounded in life by people who have a lot more experience in marriage, ministry and just life in general. One of the things I’ve learned to do is listen closely when older pastors are talking. They’ve been there and done it. Their life and ministry experience is so invaluable to [...]
