Written by: Crossroads Career | Reading Time: 3 minutes

Growing up, some of my favorite memories were long family road trips where we piled into the station wagon, loaded up with snacks and headed out.

Written by: Crossroads Career | Reading Time: 3 minutes

Several years ago in our men’s Bible study, one of the guys shared some fascinating information regarding Jesus’ life on this earth.  The Scriptures record that Jesus asked over 300 questions, and we’re also told that while He was asked over 180 questions, He only directly answered 3.  Many times, He actually answered questions with questions of His own.

Be a Friend or Befriend?

March 14, 2022
Written by: Becca Christensen | Reading Time: 2 minutes

When you start a new job there’s a temptation to befriend everyone.  The first couple weeks at a new job you’ll be asking for help, learning from seasoned employees, etc., and the temptation to want to “fit in” and be liked will be strong.  Here’s my caution: always be friendly but be careful who you befriend.  It’s important to treat …
