Derwin Gray is a Living Example of TransformationJoin me for an incredible conversation with Dr. Derwin Gray, a former NFL player whose life was completely transformed by Jesus. He is inspiring, brilliant, and a powerful example of what happens when you find out who Jesus really is. Derwin is a thought leader, incredible speaker and writer, pastor of one of American’s fastest growing churches, and an all around fascinating and inspiring person. You’re going to be challenged by this talk, and Derwin actually made me cry, twice, on my own podcast. I’m so honored to be able to introduce you to our new friend, Dr. Derwin Gray.About Dr. GrayAfter graduating from Brigham Young University, Derwin played professional football in the NFL for five years with the Indianapolis Colts (1993-1997) and one year with the Carolina Panthers (1998). During that time, he and Vicki began their journey with Christ and experienced God’s faithfulness and direction as He moved their hearts to know Him and make Him known.Derwin and Vicki began an itinerant speaking ministry in 1999, One Heart At A Time Ministries. Derwin went on to graduate magna cum laude from Southern Evangelical Seminary with a Master of Divinity (M.Div.) degree, with a concentration in Apologetics, where he was mentored by renowned theologian and philosopher, Dr. Norman Geisler.Following God’s call on their lives and their desire to shepherd people towards transforming their world through the mission of Christ, the Lord transitioned Derwin from his primary role of itinerant speaker to serving as the Lead Pastor of Transformation Church in January of 2010. Coupling his dynamic speaking style with a shepherd’s heart, his intense passion for seeing lives and culture transformed is both contagious and inspiring.In 2015, he was awarded an honorary doctorate from Southern Evangelical Seminary. In 2018, he received his Doctor of Ministry in the New Testament in Context at Northern Seminary under Dr. Scot McNight. In addition to his role at Transformation Church, Derwin teaches at conferences nationwide. He is the author of Hero: Unleashing God’s Power in a Man’s Heart (2010), Limitless Life: You Are More Than Your Past When God Holds Your Future (2013), Crazy Grace for Crazy Times Bible Study (2015), The Good Life: What Jesus Teaches About Finding True Happiness (2020), Building a Multiethnic Church (2021), God, Do You Hear Me? (2021), and How to Heal the Racial Divide (2022).Derwin also starred in the hilarious YouTube video called “The Evangelism Linebacker.”
