Read MoreDAN STANFORD is not a comic book superhero. The glasses make you do a double take but under his shirt is not a cool costume and cape.

Dan holds a Masters degree from Trinity International University and started The Well Church in Kenosha, Wisconsin. To learn more visit www.danstanford.net.
