Between Services at CrossRoads Church - Decatur, Texas https://betweenservices.podbean.com Welcome to Between Services at CrossRoads Church - a space where we talk about the heart behind what we do.

Every Sunday we gather - but there’s always more happening than what fits in a 75-minute service.

This podcast is about clarity, transparency, leadership, vision - and sometimes just honest conversations about following Jesus in Wise County.

We’re glad you’re here.
