Dinneen left engineering for full time ministry after 1993 turning to jail and nursing home chaplaincy and noting income from consulting with Frito Lay. Sams pursued ministry after spiritual awakenings in 1992 and 1993, transitioning from law to seminary then pastoring in Punta Gorda and Odessa, describing the calling as deepening his faith and offering comfort and teaching.
