I’ve met so many people who feel a desire to be part of the big “c” church – the Church universal. Unfortunately, that most often manifests itself as church hopping.

I’m an ambitious guy. I have at least 10 different projects going on right now. And to be honest, I’m not even sure how some of them are making money. But I love seeing money come in and I love accomplishing unique things. Success is awesome. But I always strive for a balance. I don’t…
