The Pink ApostleEP 10: Jesus Paid It All: What Grace Really Means with Dr. Derwin GreyWhat is grace—really? In this conversation, Dr. Derwin Gray (lead pastor of Transformation Church, former NFL player, and author) helps us trade striving for surrender.

We talk about assurance (“no condemnation”), what James means by “faith without works,” and the Old Testament picture of atonement that points straight to Jesus. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re doing “enough” for God, this episode will help you rest in the One who already finished the w...

Shifting CultureEp. 273 Derwin Gray - Lit Up With LoveThere's a crisis of good news in our world today. The message of the gospel - the radical, transformative love of God poured out through Jesus Christ - has become muted, obscured by the noise of culture wars and the bitter taste of Christendom's failures. For many, the idea of "evangelism" conjures up images of slick preachers and aggressive door-to-door campaigns, leaving a sour note where there should be a jubilant melody. But my guest today, Derwin Gray, is on a mission to reclaim that melody - to help believers rediscover the joy and power of sharing the good...
