Impact Stories
“Being the first Christian in my family and dealing with the complexities of pastoral ministry left me feeling insufficient in many areas of understanding myself, relating and communicating with others. CrossPoint helped me develop a greater sense of who I am in Christ, His approval and love for me. This has allowed me to give thanks to God for the victories, mourn my losses, and to be patient with myself in this journey. My relationship with Jesus, marriage, personal life, and ministry are stronger due to the time I spent processing, receiving wisdom, and encouragement from CrossPoint.”

"CrossPoint has been a lifeline both in my personal life and pastoral ministry. They showed me grace in a time when it was sorely needed. And they have been helping me see in a deeper way the love God the Father has for me and the beauty of the gospel. They have equipped me with tools that are enabling me to be a more emotionally healthy person in every aspect of life. I am incredibly thankful for these counselors and this ministry!”

CrossPoint’s professionalism and pastoral heart are used mightily in the lives of those they coach and counsel. God used their counseling through my 2013 sabbatical to not only get me back to health in ministry, but set my ministry in an amazing new direction. Since my time with them I’ve recommended CrossPoint to anyone and everyone that I possibly can. I simply cannot exhort church leaders enough to do the necessary soul work for long-term health. CrossPoint has the training and gifting that bears ongoing fruit long after the counseling sessions have come to a close.

One of my favorite sayings from CrossPoint is, “Sometimes God turns water into wine instantly and sometimes He grows grapes that take time and care to turn into wine. Both are miracles.” I feel like God provided CrossPoint in our life at just the right time to care for and cultivate our souls for God to do miracles in us. In our marriage, parenting and in our ministry, they have helped us to better understand ourselves and each other with our gifts and limits in who God made us to best love ourselves and others.

“During a time in my life when I was fed up with my sexual brokenness, I came to the reality that I needed help from somebody. I went to my lead pastor and was introduced to Crosspoint and began meeting 1 on 1 for coaching. This encounter would turn out to be the game changer in my long-time battle with porn addiction, codependency and toxic shame. It’s from this place that God has been in the process of healing old wounds with my family and friends and has set me up to be a better representative of King Jesus in the world.
As a full-time pastor, I continue to meet with Crosspoint all these years later because the value of their support and Gospel-centered coaching is one of the things that not only keeps me in ministry but helps me to lead from a place of flourishing as a son of the king.
I can’t thank the wonderful people at Crosspoint enough for all the many ways they have been a blessing and support over these past years.”

Family, medicine, and ministry are the three key elements of our life. Over our 15 years together, we thankfully have had our successes but there have been many challenges and failures, too. CrossPoint has been with us every step of the way as our through coaching and mentoring. We will be forever grateful for how they have helped us on our journey as Christ followers.

From the moment I met the folks at CrossPoint, I felt loved and heard. The care and shepherding that they showed me was healing to my soul. As a pastor’ wife, and mom of 3, the pressures and expectations of a public position, and a mother, had become overwhelming to me. I had gradually lost my sense of self. They listened to me, showed empathy, and gave wisdom. Starting with the Enneagram, they helped me to lean into my personality instead of shying away from my strengths. They helped me to figure out a lifestyle that fits me and my family. Each conversation brought further healing. CrossPoint’s presence in my life came at just the right time and was the catalyst I needed to move forward. I will be forever thankful!

“I’ve been meeting with CrossPoint for over 2 years. We first went to CrossPoint because, after an assessment of reviewing my pastoral ministry, I was told I needed to take a break because I was getting burned out. I was working 75 hours a week, had two young kids who weren’t seeing their dad, I wasn’t making the most of my ministry, and my marriage was becoming bitter. After an intensive, joining the Deeper Journey community and ongoing counseling I can say that it was the best decision that I ever made for my ministry. My wife and I have done various kinds of counseling over the years, but nothing has ever helped and brought the restoration that CrossPoint has. It’s saved kids’ futures and allowed me to rest in God over the next season. CrossPoint is incredible and I highly recommend them.”

"Ministry can be exhausting and lonely, yet I have found Crosspoint to be a place where I can be honest, and vulnerable and receive the same gospel truth that I preach to others. When my wife and I found ourselves in a crisis, I reached out to Clif, and was met with grace, understanding, and a plan forward. They have played a crucial role in my wife and I's story, and I thank God for their vision and calling to help those in ministry believe in their hearts what they say with their mouths.”
-Kyle Leffel
Former Pastor
I’m so thankful for CrossPoint’s guidance in my life. I’ve been able to spot areas where God is working, while I may have missed them before. Because of her many years of full-time ministry experience, CrossPoint understands the struggles of women who serve in such demanding and stretching capacities. I can honestly say that my life has been transformed during the past 4 years of meeting with CrossPoint. God has mightily used their prayers, advice, and most of all – their listening – to guide me through bumpy points in the journey. They have been the instigator for me to take new steps of faith out of my comfort zone.

After ten years into church planting it was time for a three-month sabbatical. As we began to research the process and make a plan, other planters recommended Crosspoint Ministry as absolutely necessary. Though initially a little hesitant, I was not disappointed–our sabbatical was an amazing experience. We started with the Enneagram and a phone call to have them walk us through the results. From the first phone call, I saw the incredible value of having someone direct and lead us through the Sabbatical, someone who had the wisdom and experience to know what we needed better than we did. At every step of the sabbatical, they shepherded me and my wife into a place of real rest and refreshment. So much would have been lost or missed without their wisdom and input and we feel very much in debt to them! The sabbatical has set us on a trajectory of growth and development that will take us into the next ten years, something we never would have had without CrossPoint coaching us through those three months. I’ve continued to talk with them and it has been incredible to have someone pastor, counsel, and give me spiritual direction.

The Enneagram coaching we received from CrossPoint has been an immensely beneficial tool for our marriage. It has given us a perspective through which to see ourselves and our marriage. It has given us a “language” within our marriage that helps us understand each other. The Enneagram coaching has given us a streamlined pathway to self-awareness. CrossPoint’s coaching is nuanced, pinpointed, invaluable, and well worth your time.

The last several years of life have been very trying for my family and I. In addition to planting a church, we have been through a failed adoption, my parent’s divorce, and coming close to losing my wife and unborn child due to a serious illness. Left reeling from all of these events, and wondering how God might use them in the future, we were referred to CrossPoint for coaching and not a moment too soon. My wife and I have always been best friends, but the stresses from the past few years have taken their toll on us individually and as a couple. CrossPoint quickly helped us understand ourselves better by having us take an Enneagram assessment, which in turn helped us understand and appreciate each other. We have learned to delight in the Lord in a fresh way, as well as to delight in our differences. Our marriage has been strengthened as well as our ministry to other couples and leaders in our church. I cannot recommend CrossPoint highly enough to ministry leaders. They are wonderful coaches with a pastor’s experience and heart. Stephanie and I are truly grateful for their investment in our lives and ministry.

Crosspoint Ministries provided great counsel and coaching to us and our church’s Elders about how to use our sabbatical to refresh our souls after twenty years of pastoral experience. The most beneficial thing was the personal encouragement and direction we received at least a couple of times a month from them. God used CrossPoint to help us become more aware of how we were personally wired, how we interacted with each other in ways that were unhealthy, and how to live in a more emotionally and spiritually healthy way. We highly recommend them to all pastors and church leaders!

As I reflect through my Christian journey the Lord has always been faithful to give me mentors along the way. In this season, CrossPoint has been a compassionate mentor. As a Chaplain, caring for hurting people can be overwhelming. Having CrossPoint to process with and share my soul has been life-giving. I’ve learned to be better attuned to my own story, see how Christ holds me and how He carries the stories of those that I care for.

During one of the most frightening, isolating, and confusing seasons of my life, CrossPoint brought me a lot of hope and a little bit more healing every week. I found a community of people who intimately understood my pain, but who weren’t afraid to call me to bravery in the middle of it.

I found a community of women here who could relate to the confusion and abandonment I was facing through my husband's betrayal. As he and I both sought our own healing, my story changed every week - I had highs and very lows. Every time they were there praying for restoration and blessing in my life regardless of what my husband chose. They gave me the direction and strength to focus on God and my own healing and be sure of my worth in Him.
CrossPoint helped me see that both my husband and I are facing something that is very normal unfortunately and it takes a lot of courage to claw out of it but reconciliation and a new marriage is possible which we are now experiencing because of other people like this who are sharing their stories of healing.
