WHAT LEADERS ARE SAYING

Trusted by pastors like you

"Having Toby at Faith Promise is always a breath of fresh air and a bolt of energy. He connects so well with the congregation, from stage and in the lobby. He also adds so much value to staff and leaders that he is around. He obviously brings professional insight and freedom when it comes to mental health, but he can connect it with the culture of your church and what God is doing there. Toby is family and our church feels that way when he comes."

Zac Stephens
Lead Pastor, Faith Promise Church — Knoxville, TN

"Pastor Toby Slough delivered a timely and deeply needed message of hope for our church and community... His humor was disarming, and his transparency was incredibly comforting. You never felt like he was preaching from a distance; you could tell he was speaking from real experience, real compassion, and a deep desire to help people find hope. I couldn't recommend Pastor Toby and Goby Ministries enough."
