I was in my midtwenties when I met Gwen. My college days were over, and it was a matter of working, investing in my calling, and building my adult life. I started working at my local church, and for the first year, I felt like a fraud on a daily basis. My favorite band, the Brand New Heavies, had an album track with a line that went, “Why you such a FAKE!” and I heard it in my head most days.
