My New Reality Show

One of the greatest joys of my job these days is working with our two campus pastors. Both Chad Roberts, our Dickson campus pastor, and Blake Bergstrom, our Nashville campus pastor, are a blast to work with. I’m very proud of both of them and the way they pastor and lead here at Cross Point.

The other night Blake came over to help me fix a leak we have in my chimney. This was going to require both of us getting on my very high and steep roof. He was a great sport… but this a bad news/good news story.

Bad news: It rained the next day and my chimney still leaks.
Good news: We got a great video out of it.

You’ve heard of Ice Road Truckers, Deadliest Catch, and American Loggers but now I present to you the new reality show entitled “roofing pastors”. Enjoy.

Oh by the way, what’s your favorite reality TV show?

Behind The Video

I thought I would give you a little sneak peek into what goes on behind the scenes in making one of our videos. I love my job and the people I get to work with everyday. What a blessing!

From Dickson To Honduras

Last week a group of seven from our Cross Point Dickson campus visited Honduras: Walter Stephens, David Faulks, David Ford, Millie Ham, Cindy Pulse, Sara Stephens, and Erin Stephens.

The group was on a medical mission trip where they dispensed about $5000 worth of medicine. They also saw over 1,000 different patients!

Here are a few pictures they took. For more details, you can CLICK HERE and read Chad Robert’s blog, he’s the Dickson campus pastor.

Wind Beneath My Wings

Okay, so the title may be a little over dramatic. Give me a break, it’s Sunday night and I’m loopy. Tonight I’m so thankful for the incredible team of people (staff and volunteers) I serve with at Cross Point in both Nashville and Dickson.

I am totally aware that I get way too much credit for many of the things that happen at Cross Point. I love what I do and the reason I get to focus on what I love is because I’m surrounded by such an awesome team.

I’m a better pastor because..

  • George keeps a calm spirit when things are chaotic
  • Pat is developing a first class spiritual formation program for our kids
  • Jenni sharpens my leadership gifts
  • Jarrod leads me in worship that draws me closer to God
  • Matt inspires me with creativity
  • Chad does such a great job pastoring our Dickson Campus
  • Brian (along with our other elders) holds me accountable

I’m blessed to serve along side these guys (and many others) here at Cross Point who help this community become more radically devoted to Christ, irrevocably committed to one another, and relentlessly dedicated to reaching the lost.

A Beautiful Mess

easter

On Monday things started to get crazy here at the Cross Point Nashville campus. Lots of equipment, lights, and other things I don’t understand. It’s going to look and sound amazing!

I have been talking with Pastor Chad about things at the Cross Point Dickson campus. They are getting fired up about celebrating their first Easter together. They face unique challenges meeting in the high school, but I know it will prove to be a Easter those of you in Dickson will not want to miss.

I hope you have been praying about who you are going to invite this weekend. If you have someone in mind, let me know so I can join you in praying for them.

Keeping Up

One of the greatest challenges of being part of a fast growing church like Cross Point is keeping up with what’s going on. It seems as if things are happening at break neck speeds. It’s one of the reasons I have decided to blog. I want to do a better job this year of communicating to you the great things that God is doing. Here are two other blogs which will help you keep up as well.

  •  Jenni Catron, our executive director, just posted a great recap of this past weekend. Click here to read!
  • Chad Roberts, our Dickson campus pastor, will keep you up to date with what’s happening just West of here. One thing Chad won’t tell you is that they have been averaging over 350 people their first three weeks. Wow! God is up to something there. Click here to read 

Ok, ok, one last thing. Here’s an e-mail I just received from a new attender. We would all do well to follow God prompts like this!

I really enjoyed Sunday & it inspired me to make changes. I do get involved, but I find it hard to be a leader. I was thinking & praying about what I could do differently & on Monday morning it came to me. Everyday at work I read a short devotional & it starts my day off right. I thought that maybe a few others in the office might like to do this too. I passed out a flier with an example of what the devotion would be & asked people to come & sign up if they would like me to place one in their office each day. Almost the entire office of 60 people signed up.  It is some extra work that I have to do now, but so many have already come up & told me how much that means to them or that the devotion said exactly what they needed to hear that day.  I know that this may be a small step toward leadership, but I think its a good start! God Bless ~ Hanna Dozier
