Enjoy and Merry Christmas from Cross Point.

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.

I Hate the Gym

Almost every Monday night I take a class with my wife, Brandi, entitled “Ultimate Fitness” at the YMCA. She calls it “bonding” and I call it  “a cheap date”. Leann Fray teaches the class and totally kicks my butt. She also kicks this butt, this butt and this butt. We have a good time, but I’m always sore the next day.

What do you do that you know is good for you, but still hate it?

It’s all about me…right?

I saw this video yesterday and couldn’t stop laughing. Then, when the reality hit that I have often made worship “all about me,” I wanted to cry.

I can’t tell you how blessed we are at Cross Point Nashville to have a gifted worship leader such as Jarrod Morris. Jarrod and his entire team, including all of our volunteer worship leaders, do an amazing job of disappearing on stage and putting the focus where it needs to be. I love working with Jarrod. His humble spirit and desire to lead people into God’s presence are inspiring to me.

How are you keeping your worship from becoming about you?

How loud is too loud?

From time to time someone will share with me that they feel our worship is too loud. I’m not going to argue on whether it is or isn’t. I’m just saying they have never heard my 1 year old (Brewer) and my 3 year old (Gage) banging on the pots and pans in the kitchen. This is a favorite evening activity in our household. When are the next auditions Jarrod?
