Mario and Hoyt have been “friends of the heart” for close to 30 years. We met at Suntree United Methodist Church when Hoyt was hired as the Executive Pastor. As Hoyt was relocating from Indiana to Florida, he needed a place to stay until he and his wife Diane built a home. So, he stayed with Mario and his family for several months. During that time, they shared many things, both personal and spiritual. At that time Mario was not a Christian. In fact, he was a long-time religious skeptic. But in part through their friendship, Mario came to embrace the Grace of God and became a believer.

Mario comes from a scientific background. He spent over 35 years at the Kennedy Space Center. He also consults on matters of leadership and teambuilding. He is deeply involved in community theater and teaches Improv Comedy.

Hoyt, a Pastor for 40 years, entered ministry to help people change their lives for the better. Hoyt developed the concept of The 3G Lifestyle during his studies towards receiving his Doctor of Ministry.

Mario fully embraced this concept upon hearing one of Hoyt’s sermons on the topic. The Pathway to Significance and Joy is a tool Hoyt and Mario developed to help people live the 3G Lifestyle.
The 3G Lifestyle is a way of life that is built upon recognizing and receiving Grace, resulting in having a spirit of Gratitude and becoming a person who receives joy and purpose through Generosity.

Our aim is to help Christians and seekers on the path towards true discipleship of Jesus Christ. We believe that God’s Grace is given to all, with no strings attached. This is, in many ways, contrary to what our culture teaches. However, once we accept God’s Grace, we become Grateful. Gratitude affects the way we look at the world. Therefore, Gratitude manifests itself in a desire to be Generous as God has been Generous with us. We then want to share with others our time, talents, and financial resources.
The 3G Lifestyle is a way of living and our teaching is focused on showing people how to embrace a new way of understanding how to live the Christian life, resulting in a life with greater purpose, significance, and joy.
Our end goal is to develop generous, rather than religious, people because we believe that this is the key to having a life of purpose, significance, and joy.

Towards this end, we offer speaking engagements and workshops to help churches inspire their congregations to more fully embrace the love and understanding of Jesus Christ.
