Hi, I’m Daryl Crouch, a Jesus-follower, husband, father, friend, pastor, leader, and learner. I’m also the founder of Crosstied, a ministry designed to “ignite an everyday passion for God” by engaging communities, encouraging fellow followers of Christ, and equipping churches and church leaders.

My kids will never use a rotary telephone and will never know life without a remote control. Technology has changed the way we communicate so that a world of information is available in an instant. Personally, I like that. But as sophisticated as we have become, we still desire more than a worldwide web of information or even the fastest mode of communication.

Second Chronicles 16:9 reads, “For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His.” God’s eyes scan the globe looking for bravehearts…people with hearts that are surrendered to Him, hearts that are passionate for Him, and hearts that relentlessly pursue God’s glory even in the most practical areas of life.

So here’s the big picture. This website exists for just 3 simple, but hopefully significant purposes:

1. To serve you and other bravehearts (or braveheart want-to-be’s) through practical, proven, and powerful lessons from God’s Word. I should also mention “short”… 250-500 words.

2. To provide relevant resources and real encouragement for bravehearts who want to connect or reconnect with God, others, and the world to make a Kingdom impact.

3. To inspire bravery that is required to lead our own hearts, families, churches, and communities for the glory of God.

That’s pretty exciting, but I’m going to need your help. Blogs are meant to be interactive. I’d love for you to subscribe to the blog, but all this would be a lot more fun and helpful if you would enter the conversation by commenting on my posts.

I’ll post 2-3 times each week, and you will see new resources from time to time. So please stay connected. Follow me on Twitter or Facebook, and then if I’m helping you, share crosstied.org with your friends. The more the merrier!
