Tonight for this journey we’re doing at Crosspoint, we went on a field trip with our LTG (small group for you non-XPTers). Pretty simple idea. Show up. Get handed a CD. Insert it in the CD player in your car. Listen & drive. We went to the school where we meet now, then to the […]
Read MoreSo, last week at CROSSPOINT we were given a odd challenge. Actually, the challenge wasn’t weird, the method was.

Read MoreSo, I sat this morning in a “finding your sweet spot in ministry” seminar hosted by a friend of a friend. Biggest thing I took out of it: I’m in my sweet spot. In fact, I’m about as dead centered in it as I think I could possibly be. Sometimes I joke with one of […]

In it speaker, author, writer, youth pastor Walt Mueller speaks of hearing Dr. Phil live in Philly speak on how our culture has created a narcissistic youth culture.

As the few of you who read this know… my blog is titled “The View From Behind The Glasses.” I’m looking at registering a personal domain for my blog for professional reasons.
