Welcome to Let’s Be Real Podcast we're your hosts Anna Claborn and Jodi Cross. This podcast is where we get real and talk about why our stories matter and how Jesus is for us. We believe that God created us with a purpose, which gives meaning to everything that we go through. When we share our stories, we can bring hope and help to others. We hope you’ll join us!
Episode 21 - Making a Difference with Alison Pollard
Anna and I had the best time talking to Alison Pollard for today's episode. Alison is our Mission and Outreach Director. To start our time together, Alison shares about her family and how they got involved here at Crosspoint.
Alison shares her heart for how we serve our families here at Crosspoint and the community. Alison filters all the areas we serve by asking, " Is this meeting an unmet need or people?" Her heart is to join other churches in what they do while serving in other areas with unmet needs.
She would like to encourage us that saying yes can lead to purpose. Alison talks about the importance of Colossians 1:23, where we are told to stand firm, so we don't drift away. She shares how easy it is to drift if we are not actively pursuing Jesus.

Episode 22 - Making a Difference with Hearts for the Homeless
We are excited to have Chris Sevier, yes, he is the husband to Christy (from Fostering Hope) and dad to their three kids. He also humbly leads our Hearts for the Homeless ministry that serves Houston's homeless on the third Sunday of each month.
We had a great conversation with Chris, where he shared his heart for the homeless and how God directed his steps to get involved. Chris shares that the heart of this ministry is Matthew 25:40-45 where Jesus tells us, "if you have done this to one of least of them, you have done it to me." One of its pillars for Chris is to serve them with excellence, and everything they do is passed through the question: "Would you do that to Jesus?"
Chris has seen his obedience to God lead to God's faithfulness to provide all they need.
He also shares how we can invite our kids to serve and how we can come alongside them. If you feel God urging you to step out into something, he suggests you start small and slowly and see how God moves.
If you would like more information on how to join, you can go to Crosspointchurch.tv , the Facebook page Love Your Neighbor, or our Serve App.

Episode 23 - Making a Difference with Bryan Shippey
We have our Discipleship Pastor, Bryan Shippey, joining us today. He and his family moved back to Pearland after serving five years planting a church in the Boston area. Bryan shares how saying his first "yes" to God has impacted his life and how he has seen God move. He challenges us to say "yes" and see how God will move in our story.
Bryan shares how his focus has narrowed to discipleship, how we can help our kids become disciples, and how to navigate walking alongside someone in their discipleship.
Some of his favorite Scriptures about discipleship are:
Luke 14:28 says we should look at the cost.
Colossians 1:27 reminds us that Christ lives in us.
John 15 talks about staying connected to the vine.
