Once my schedule shifts into summer mode, I try to capture a variety of random ideas and thoughts into a weekly brain dump.
- Tomorrow night kicks off our fall semester for youthcrossing. We’re starting with a 3-week vision series about why we do what we do at youthcrossing. Starting with why needs to be the first step in so many parts of life. I love this TED Talk by Simon Sinek about why we start with why.
- Kara and I have a chalkboard wall in our kitchen that all our guests get to sign before they leave. It’s one way we’re reminded how our paths cross so many others.
- Today I watched our entire staff at The Crossing do an incredible job serving a family from our Chesterfield campus for the funeral of their two teenage daughters who were killed in a car wreck on Thursday night. The way that all of our staff loved on the Olivers, opened doors for guests, handed out tissues, provided crowd control, and so much more, all of it was a holy moment. I can’t believe that I get to be a part of all this.
- Leaders- you are the gatekeeper for your team. There will always be two types of issues you’ll find on your team: what you allow to be created in your team, and what you let into your team. Guess who’s responsible for both? You… and only you. Guard your team well!
- College football starts in less than two weeks. Let the tears of joy and loud rejoicing begin.
- One of the biggest realities to rest in is that you are a child of God. Let that define you first before anything else does.
