He Knows You

An Excerpt by Sheridan Voysey

Today I’m giving space on the blog to my friend Sheridan Voysey. I am a fan of Sheridan’s life and his work. {You should definitely pick up a copy of Resurrection Year if you haven’t read it yet — it’s an incredible read.}  Sheridan’s new book Resilient: Your Invitation to a Jesus-Shaped Life launches Wednesday October […]

You Know How I Wasn’t Invited…

To attend that party? To play on that team? To sit at that table? To go on that trip?  It’s okay. It really is okay. It wasn’t okay at first. I was hurt as everyone whispered plans and gushed about the fun to be had. I was wistful as I watched every picture go up on Instagram. I was angry as names were […]

When We Don’t Like The Name God Gives Us

Last May I went to Israel on a trip led by Bianca and Matt Olthoff and Mariners Church. I was so excited to walk where Jesus walked, visit the Holy sites, and to see the Bible come to life. I really hoped it would change the way I read the Bible {something that has always felt […]

Recognizing and doing everything in my power to meet the needs of all. Posturing humility, sincerity and thanksgiving. Praising God and basking in His favor. But I can’t help but […]

Struggling With Prayer

Sometimes I struggle with prayer. Not the bow your heads as we all come together to close up this worship service type of prayer. Not the constant back-and-forth muttering, wrestling, surrendering to the Creator of the Universe type of prayer. But the grocery listing of all the things in this world that are broken and […]

All’s Grace

Last week got off to a rough start. A funk enveloped me and I wasn’t sure I was going to find my way out. Moving can be hard. A thirty-fifth birthday can be hard. Together they became the double whammy that did me in…at least for a couple of days. But sometime Wednesday morning the […]

Nothing Is Impossible

This morning at Crosspoint, we sang “Healer” by Hillsong United. Here are the lyrics: You hold my every moment You calm my raging seas You walk with me through fire And heal all my disease I trust in you I believe You’re my Healer I believe You are all I need I believe You’re my […]
