We all know that lying is bad. But we do it everyday, don’t we? “Hey, man! How you doin’?” (‘n because that’s how we talk in Indiana.) “I’m great!” Sound familiar? But, we’re not always there are we? I’ve been in a really weird rut now for about a year and half. Which has made […]

GETTING FED AT CHURCH
I recently wrote this article for a 2x/month newsletter for pastors in our network in Indiana. This was my second pass at the article. It kind of gives a look into my brain and heart of what it means to be a pastor… I title I loathe to be called. That’s why my title doesn’t […]

@kristin_madeja tweeted this video to me last night.
I’ve watched it about 50 times since.

So, last week at CROSSPOINT we were given a odd challenge. Actually, the challenge wasn’t weird, the method was. About halfway through Curt’s teaching he asked everyone to reach under their seat and pull the envelope taped to the bottom of the chair out. Every now and then we have these moments where we’re told […]
