Reared in Oklahoma, Gib took advice from a pastoral mentor to help guide him in the beginning of his spiritual journey. A mentor-ship which still holds strong today 25 years later.  Gib uses Tina Fey's book, Bossy Pants, to help upcoming pastors know what's to follow when preparing for a sermon, and what's next after the last amen is said on Sunday. Also, Gib touches on the 4 pillars (fitness, faith, friends, family) to help find balance throughout life. If you are thinking of joining a church, or considering attending for the first time please consider these powerful points. Think about the lower points of your life and wish what you would have had in a community in it with you, truth source,  and desperately need for love. A strong church will walk with you through pain and suffering, truth of scripture will help guide you through the storms of life, and be a place of unconditional love.
