why Goby?
The tools we share are the tools we've used.
Anxiety has been part of Toby and Mika Slough’s story for more than 25 years. They know what it’s like when anxiety affects not just one person, but a marriage, a family, and the people who love them.
They’ve walked alongside families while developing practical, faith-based tools to help people understand what they’re experiencing and take their next step.
Goby brings that lived experience together with the wisdom of counselors, ministry leaders, parents, and coaches to give you practical ways to help your child and support your family.

"So special!"
Our daughter now has 6 of the Forty I Am statements memorized and we got to talk about forgiveness and grace this morning!
KRISTEN R.
"The kids were so engaged..."
I was teaching in [my] kids room on Saturday, where we read the story of Toby the Goby. The kids were so engaged in every part of the story. Parents have reported testimonies of the Forty I Ams going really deep. Praise God!
Jordan D.
"I will be a Goby."
The 40 I Ams are so hard for me...but you said a healthy you is the best thing you can give your child and I want [my daughter] to live in a way I never lived... I know I have to be so much better for her. So, I will be. Your tools are great. She LOVES your book [and] just loves Toby the Goby. She thinks he's amazing!
