I don’t normally write blog posts that update you on Sunday’s activities, but I had to take a moment to stop and celebrate with my online friends. God has been doing an amazing work at Cross Point for years, but the past 3 weeks have been simply amazing. Thousands of volunteers out serving and loving [...]

Getting ready to go out and join a bunch of Cross Point volunteers at the Cross Point Bellevue campus for a day of flood relief in our community. If you want to join us you can meet us out there at 9 am. I can’t be out there all day as I also have a [...]

NASHVILLE FLOOD: Volunteer Highlight from Cross Point Church on Vimeo. I might be even more proud of our Cross Point volunteers this week than last week. Last week we were running on pure adrenaline. This week the people serving are doing so out of pure commitment. While a lot of the “sexy” clean up is [...]

As Cross Point has grown I’ve had to listen to the uninformed critics often claim that “we’re a mile wide and an inch deep.” It’s always seemed funny to me that people automatically assume that a growing church must also be a church that is somehow watering down the Gospel. I’m part of a small [...]

I shot this video on my iphone while we were working yesterday in a flooded home. This will give you an idea of what most of our teams are facing day in and day out. Remember this was shot on day 5 of relief work. Flooded House from Pete Wilson on Vimeo. Today we’re blowing [...]

Our teams spent another day (day 4)  out amongst the flooded homes of Nashville ripping up carpet, cutting out drywall and helping clean up. We ran into a contractor who was actually charging $8,000 to do what one of our teams is doing for FREE in about two hours. In another crazy set of circumstances [...]

I had the opportunity to talk with Eric Berg of August Enterprises about the incredible spirit of volunteerism that is making THE difference in the relief effort in Nashville. The entire August Enterprises staff took a day from the office to come work with us in homes and communities in middle Tennessee. If you are [...]

I always learn such incredible spiritual lessons from my kids. My 6 year-old, Gage, spent the afternoon yesterday with his Nonni planting tomato plants. I heard he prayed for each plant after putting it in the ground. So I asked him, “Gage, why did you pray for the tomato plants?” He said, “Well, Dad, that’s [...]

Never in a million years did I think my new book Plan B would release nationally on the day we were in the middle of one of the biggest “Plan B’s” the city of Nashville has ever seen. Doesn’t seem appropriate to really celebrate today but didn’t want the day to go by without thanking all [...]

I’ve never been more proud of Cross Point then I was today. I couldn’t believe the number of volunteers who showed up throughout the day at our Cross Point Bellevue Campus (which is now our flood headquarters) to help serve our community. The flooding is widespread and worse than I could have ever imagined. Their [...]
