I would like to thank my lovely wife, Jane, for all of her encouragement, feedback, and support for the many times she had to sit with me and hear me talk about Next Step.
WHOEVER SOWS SPARINGLY WILL ALSO REAP SPARINGLY, AND WHOEVER SOWS BOUNTIFULLY WILL ALSO REAP BOUNTIFULLY. EACH ONE OF YOU SHOULD GIVE WHAT YOU HAVE DECIDED IN YOUR HEART TO GIVE, NOT RELUCTANTLY OR UNDER COMPULSION, FOR GOD LOVES A CHEERFUL GIVER. AND GOD IS ABLE TO BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY, SO THAT IN ALL THINGS AT ALL TIMES, HAVING ALL THAT YOU NEED, WILL ABOUND IN EVERY GOOD WORK.
—2 CORINTHIANS 9:6-8

I realized early on that it was important to live with integrity, with God at the center of everything. When I was 16 years old, I had a wife and a child, and we lived on welfare and food stamps.
