“There are moments in our lives when we summon the courage to make choices that go against reason, against common sense and the wise counsel of people we trust. But we lean forward nonetheless because, despite all risks and rational argument, we believe that the path we are choosing is the right and best thing to do. We refuse to be bystanders, even if we do not know exactly where our actions will lead.” – Howard Schultz “Onward”

By the way, mark your calendars for part 1 of the Water Bottle Blitz! (We’ll be handing out free water in the community for 3 weekends in a row!)

August 21st at 10am – We’ll be doing an INTRO TO OUTREACH project which would be a great jumping on point for those of you who’ve never taken a dip into the serving pool! Speaking of water… YUP – We’ll be handing out water to everyone at area parks.
August 28th at 10am – Part 1 of the Water Bottle Blitz wraps up with a BIG Water Bottle Handout through area parks, beaches, and intersections! Giving away a cool FREE bottle of water on a HOT DAY is great great way to share the love of Jesus!
We’ll meet up at Crosspoint’s office for each one of these projects so I hope to see you there!
June Speaking Schedule
June 4th, 2010 No comments »June is shaping up to be my busiest month in speaking. I’m honored to be able to share the Gospel with so many people in just a short amount of time and it’s not a responsibility I take lightly.
Here’s a brief listing of where and when I’ll be speaking if you’re interested in stopping by, and more importantly if you wouldn’t mind praying for me and for the churches that I’ll be visiting.
Sunday, June 6th – The Journey Fellowship Ocala, Florida 10:30am
The Journey is kicking off their “Summer of Love” campaign and I’ll be there talking about how that they can easily share God’s love in practical ways!
June 9 – 11 – IGNITE at FBC Cary in Cary, NC every night at 6pm
I’ll be hanging out with FBC Cary’s Student Ministry, helping them get their summer started off right. Illusionist Jared Hall will also be there one night. I’m looking forward to doing ministry with him again, (if he even remembers me!)
Back at Crosspoint Church in Spring Hill, FL for the FIRED UP! Series June 13, 20, & 27
For the rest of the month, I’m glad to be back home at Crosspoint sharing the “FIRED UP!” series. Fired Up is a “Guys Guide to Faith”, it’s all about encouraging guys, husbands, fathers, etc. to step up and be the men of God they are called to be. This series is for those guys and the women who love them.
If you’re interested in having me come out and speak at your ministry/event you can click on the “contact” tab at the top of the site or simply click here. You can also hear messages by me and the rest of the Crosspoint Pastoral Staff at CrosspointLive.com
Traveling and speaking is a lot of fun for me, and like I said before, it’s very humbling to be invited somewhere to share the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. But I’ve also got to say that my favorite place to share about Jesus is right here at home at Crosspoint Church, there’s no place like home!
God is Still God, and God is Still Good.

Flood relief in Nashville.
May 7th, 2010 No comments »
If you’re like me, you’ve been blown away by the images of the flooding in Nashville, TN. I have a couple of friends that live in that area and I’ve seen what they’ve had to deal with through the pics and videos they’ve been posting on Twitter and Facebook.
Nashville received around 15 inches of rain in a 24 hour period and the rivers could not handle it. The situation is intense and desperate as MOST people living in that area did NOT have flood insurance.
We have an opportunity to step up and make a difference. We are partnering with Pastor Pete Wilson and Crosspoint Church in Nashville, TN. They are in the middle of the mess and they will be there long after relief crews have left. I don’t believe there is a better mission to partner with.
THIS Sunday we will be taking up our regular Sunday Offering, and 10% of the tithes and offerings received will be sent to Crosspoint Church in Nashville to go DIRECTLY to the relief effort in that area.
Here is how the money is going to be used:
- To help people repair their homes (HUNDREDS of people lost everything!)
- To purchase equipment to assist with the relief efforts
- To purchase supplies such as water and food (all but one water treatment plant has been shut down!)
- To feed people
Those are just SOME of the things…
This is our moment to link arms with other believers to serve the broken and hurting. I’m counting on you Crosspoint Church in Spring Hill, FL to give and to give big! Let’s let our lights shine bright in the midst of this dark situation. Pray hard and give big!
