Real faith. And probably a Taco Bell reference or two. April 17, 2027 ·  Grapevine, Texas [Get Your Ticket](https://ticketstripe.com/faith_forward_rally) Gian Gamboa is joining us at the Faith Forward Rally 2027 to help make this a day students will not simply attend, but remember. As a Catholic speaker and youth conference MC, Gian has spent years helping young people discover that faith is not just something they inherit. It is a relationship with Jesus that can shape who they become and where they go next. ## Helping Young People Make Faith Their Own Gian has delivered more than 1,000 talks across the country, bringing energy, humor, honesty, and heart to conversations about faith. His mission is simple: help young people develop a personal relationship with Jesus so they can become who God created them to be. At Faith Forward, Gian will help create an environment where juniors and seniors can ask bigger questions about their future, their faith, and the kind of person they want to become. ## What Can You Expect? Come ready to laugh, think, connect, and be challenged. Gian has a gift for helping young people feel like one community. He also helps faith feel personal, relevant, and worth carrying forward. Wherever life takes you after high school, we are here to help you personally connect with your Catholic community. ## A Little More About Gian Gian lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife and three kids. He loves giant burgers and 90s movies and is the self-proclaimed number-one fan of Taco Bell. And his biggest dream? For every Catholic in the world to fall in love with Jesus.
