I don’t know if you’ve seen this latest add from Target, but I LOVE it. It features the adorable little kid named Ryan who has Down syndrome. Time Magazine reports… Target cast Ryan in its latest children’s clothing ad, and Nordstrom featured him in a campaign several months ago. Notably, Target did not publicize his inclusion; there were no self-congratulatory press releases or pats on the back, signaling that Ryan’s prese...

*I know many of you who read the blog live around the world, therefore you obviously don’t attend Cross Point. However, you’re often asking how you can pray for me or the church, so I like to keep you in the loop of what’s going on around this amazing place. Below is a letter I sent out to our church a few days ago just letting them know about some of the exciting things taking place here. If you get a minute, we would really ap...

I make no bones about it. Our Christmas services are my favorite and this year is no different. I’m so looking forward to celebrating this time of the year with you guys. I’m also incredibly thankful to the hundreds of volunteers who sacrificially serve and even take vacation time in an effort to make this service so special. I’ve been praying for weeks now that you would have courage, boldness, and creativity as you invite your...

I’m so excited for this Sunday at Cross Point. We always try to mix it up a bit the Sunday after Thanksgiving and this year you guys get to see a one on one interview I did with Matt Hasselbeck, the quarterback for the Tennessee Titans. Now some of you might say, “I don’t even really like football.” No worries. That’s not a problem at all because I bet you know somebody who does and would be extremely interested in h...

I’m super excited about the new series we’re starting this weekend at Cross Point. If you’ve got a second CLICK HERE for more information and an opportunity to invite a friend. ...

Recalibrate. Renew. Refresh. Three things my heart could use. I’m so excited that this Tuesday, September 27th is our next Worship Night at Cross Point.  It starts at 7:00 PM at our Nashville campus, but get there early for a seat (doors open at 6:30 PM). I’m so looking forward to an incredible night with you guys. There’s something special about getting together with no other agenda then celebrating God for being God.  Hope t...

Someone asked me recently what part missions plays at our church, Cross Point. It didn’t take me more than a moment to respond. I don’t believe missions should be a program in the church. I believe missions IS the church. This past Saturday over 700 volunteers showed up for Serving Saturday, a regular opportunity we offer as a way to get out into the community of Nashville and serve the surrounding ministries, schools, churches and or...

  I can’t tell you how excited I am about our next series at Cross Point. Whatever you do don’t come alone!  You can CLICK HERE if you want to send someone an Evite. You can also join us HERE for our online campus if you’re out of town. As I told you, in Week One we’ll be talking with Todd Burpo and his son, Colton. Todd wrote the widely talked about book Heaven Is For Real . The book has been number one on the New ...

Since I’m traveling back to Nashville this morning I thought I’d take the opportunity to invite my good friend and Cross Point’s Pastor of Ministries Chris Surratt to speak into something he is amazing at and is one of his roles here at Cross Point; raising up leaders. Take it away man. I want to say thanks to Pete for letting me hang out on WithoutWax.tv today. I feel like the playing field is a little more even here because on...

If you haven’t joined us for our new Cross Point Internet Campus then this Sunday is your opportunity. We’ve had several thousand people from a dozen or so countries join us the first few weeks. 6:00 pm (CST) Sunday night. My favorite part is the live Q & A we do after the message. My friend, Jon Acuff, will be joining me this Sunday night. Who knows what might happen with that guy around.  You won’t want to miss it. Here&#...
