About

In the complex world we live in, our households need men to lead, love, and show up. At a time when men are needed more than ever, they are often nowhere to be seen. When the demands of the world arise, countless men too often are not falling on their knees, but instead are walking away and easily giving up on their wife, family, and responsibilities. They are willing to do anything at all to climb the corporate ladder while sacrificing family and values. Now is the time to CROSS Train. We need to get our minds, hearts, and bodies in shape to be the warriors God intended us to be, and we can't do it alone. It takes an army - a group who has trained and is willing to fight for what they believe in and know is right. However, we can’t go to war if we’re not prepared. CROSS Train Ministry can help men develop the foundation they need.

My name is Bill Crutchfield. After almost 30 years as a personal trainer in Nashville, God has been showing me, piece by piece, the need for men to have a safe place to be real and organic with problems and issues, and to work toward becoming the version of themselves that God wants for their life, not letting another day go by.

CROSS Train Ministry was shown to me in a vision. It started in a dream where I saw several of my friends in ministry sitting around a campfire spilling their hearts out regarding their struggles and addictions, feeling like they have to always have it together. Over the next several years, the Lord presented me with men who expressed a hunger for opportunities like this to connect with other believers and receive the freedom they long for. Although I originally felt that I wasn’t equipped for this role, He has slowly been teaching and growing me as these men have come forward. I now know I am called to “feed His sheep, and help men grow to be the godly men they strive to be.” CROSS Training Ministry is the result of this mission to create a supportive community for men.
