Movie Pastor Reflections

I consider Dave Anderson a very good friend and mentor, but I never met him in person until 10 days ago.  Dave's blog was one of the first that I read, and after following his journey, I was encouraged to jump into the blogging pool, and three years later, we're both still at it.  We've traded blog comments and emails and finally last week had the opportunity to meet.

Three words come to mind when I think of Dave and Dana Anderson: Real, Passionate, and Humble.  I have been wanting to visit Crosspoint since we moved back to the Memphis area almost two years ago.  Dave has ministered to me so much through his blog that I just had to see his church and watch him preach in person.  

Dave and Dana are the real deal.  I learned so much just sitting at lunch with Dave and Dana and hearing their personal ministry journey.  They shared the hard stuff and the "ugly" stuff and the good stuff as well.  They love Jesus and are passionate to reach North Alabama with the Gospel.  

Dave was kind enough to listen to part of our journey and offered many kind words of encouragement and affirmation for me and my family.  

Dave and Dana, we are so grateful for the opportunity to connect with you in person finally, and I am very excited to visit Decatur again soon so that our paths can cross again (PS, lunch is on us next time).

Church leaders, you would do well to make a trip to Decatur and spend some time with Dave and Dana.  You'll feel like to tried to take a sip of water out of a fire hose with all the wisdom you'll get in your time with them.
