Thomas Daniel is a pastor at Covenant Presbyterian. He recounts his struggles with refraining from using accomplishments to provide value; only by doing this, he believes, are we able to find fulfillment, and accept the person we are. Though raised in a family that outlined success in a traditional manner – attend a good college, procure a high-paying salary, and so on – Thomas's life has strayed far from the norm, and he shares the highs and lows in his story to do so.
