Dr. Kleinhans talks about how the Crossings conference focuses on taking the Gospel and “crossing” it into our daily lives. She shares her excitement about the synergy among voices and theological perspectives. For her, meeting people at the conference feels like discovering family you never knew you had. She finds it a re-energizing opportunity to hear the Gospel spoken in powerful new ways, while also reinforcing and expanding the community. Dr. Kleinhans believes the Crossings conference is a place not only to hear the eternal Good News, but ALSO to hear how it is Good News for people to make use of today.

Sherman Lee is an adult convert to Christianity. He quickly became involved in youth ministry, but after three years, he was feeling some burnout. Sherman took a step back from youth ministry and started taking Crossings classes with Ed Shroeder. He describes those classes as his “confirmation experience.”
Sherman strongly feels that seeing and living life through the Crossing lens or method helps him to respond with respect and love. He knows that he would not be as patient or kind without it. He now is better equipped to deal with adversity and absorb it, because his own angst is absorbed in the love of Jesus. Crossings shows how God’s love covers doubt.

Candice Wassell is a pastor at Faith Lutheran Church in O’Fallon, IL, just outside of St. Louis, MO. She loves to play golf and loves that it is the perfect embodiment of what the law is. In golf, we have to do everything perfectly to hit a good shot, just like this world and culture pushes us to believe that everything depends on us.
Everything is not up to us and Crossings helps show others that as well as challenging people to see where their conviction is.
Love is so important. We are loved in spite of our brokenness.

Ed Schroeder is one of the founders of the Crossings organization. He believes that a cross actually has three parts to it; the vertical part, horizontal part and the point where they intersect or cross. That is one of Crossings goals, crossing the world with the word of God.
Ed likes to compare the Bible to a hospital chart. A chart shows a patient’s illnesses and what therapies or medicines the patient needs. A Bible points out someone’s God problems and proposes what therapy or healing is needed to heal the problem.
Jesus removed the need of do-gooderism. Jesus gives you the freedom from all the do-gooder pressure, but you have the freedom to do the best you can without fear of consequences.
