About the Creators | The Pillar of Fire

Tanner Gibbs is the founder and initiator of The Pillar of Fire. He’s been doing theatre for ten years, music for three, and been active in production in some form for five. He’d always grown up in church and always loved God but he officially dedicated his life to Christ almost five years ago. Throughout this time his hunger and understanding of the Word of God only grew deeper. The deeper it grew, the deeper his spirit was troubled. Out of these pains, paired with his own experiences and convictions by the Spirit of God, and equipped with truth and understanding, The Pillar of Fire was born!

Tanner also enjoys singing and playing the guitar. And he has recently struck up a chance to write for an up-and-coming artist in the music ministry.

Raleigh II of America is the co-host of The Pillar of Fire. She’s grown up in a Christian home, but her relationship with God began to grow deep when she began acting with a Christian theater in 2018 and found some incredible mentors and friends there. Since then, Raleigh has grown closer to God through prayer and is learning how to hear His voice. Raleigh and Tanner met through theater and when he asked her to help develop the show she jumped at the chance. The Pillar is important to Raleigh because it offers not only theological discussion but also a clear, Biblical plan of action for modern Christians. (Hanging out with her friends on set is a fun bonus!)

Other than theater, Raleigh loves reading and writing. She teaches piano and is studying sign language interpretation.
