This is the blog of Gary Lamb, Lead Pastor of Ridge Stone Church in Canton, Ga. However, that does not mean everything written here accurately reflects the views of RSC, it's members, or my staff. This blog is simply my thoughts on leadership, church planting, pastoring...and every now and then music that I am jamming to at the time.
