The Passion Equation
BRENT MARCHANT: Ever see a successful venture get launched with a hefty dose of ambivalence or a dearth of enthusiasm? My guess is probably not.

Integrity is one of those revered traits to which many of us aspire. There's a mystique about it that suggests an implicit purity, a pristine authenticity untainted by the corrupting influences of an allegedly vile secular world.
