Relationships Over Rules

No matter where you came from, and where you are today, I want to encourage you to look closely at how you deal with everyone in your life, and remind you that your past does not define your purpose, or dictate your potential. You can do so much more; focusing on the relationships in your life over the rules of the world!

"This book will not only encourage you to reach your true potential, but it will also show you how to push past what the world says is possible." -MARK ROBINSON, lieutenant governor, North Carolina

Your path to purpose begins with people.

Be the Friend

Be the Expert

Be Present

Never forget that God places people in your life for a reason

“As David shares his story in this book, he lists the principles by which he has chosen to live...
I hope the readers of this book make many of these principles their own. If so, they will be stronger and better in life as they do.”
— DAVID CHADWICK, founder and senior pastor, Moments of Hope Church
“As a well-served client and a well-nurtured friend, I have witnessed David living out the principles for relational success he explains in Relationships over Rules.
You don’t want to miss the compelling story of his difficult youth or the intensity of purpose and insight that grew out of it and into the light of Jesus Christ.”
— DAN BISHOP, congressman, North Carolina
