I’d pay money to see Jim go down a waterslide in a suit, though …

Tyler is a pastor in Olympia, WA and works in State government.

Tyler, couldn’t help wondering which Jim you were talking about. :^)

Seriously, the problem with the goal of “results” is when that’s not defined well. Bakker’s results were in TV viewership and revenues. Other evangelists count prayers prayed and the like. I’m not quite sure that corresponds well with the results spoken of in Matthew 28.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
