Faith Driven Entrepreneur
What does a free safety's job of reading offensive plays have to do with the schemes the enemy runs against entrepreneurs? Everything. Derwin Gray — former NFL Pro Bowler, pastor of Transformation Church, and author — joins Justin Forman to expose the identity trap that sends high-achieving entrepreneurs spiraling, and to lay out the only playbook that actually leads to freedom.

From the NFL to the Pulpit: How Entrepreneurs Can Outsmart Darkness and Flourish in Business
Host Justin Forman sits down with Derwin Gray — former NFL safety turned pastor and author — for a conversation that hits as hard as a blindside blitz. Derwin brings his playbook from the gridiron, the locker room, and the pulpit to reveal what entrepreneurs are most often running from — and why the answer isn't another win, another deal, or another acquisition.Drawing on neuroscience, Scripture, and lived experience, Derwin unpacks the identity trap that snares high performers, the toxic shame-and-guilt cycle that fuels the hustle, and the one playbook that actually sets entrepreneurs free. This is not a soft conversation. This is a hard-hitting call to wholeness for people who build things.
