John Gray

He preaches at one of the biggest churches in the country but it’s not what he ever wanted.

Overlooked and Undervalued but Not Forgotten

He wanted to be a lawyer. A singer. An actor.

He thought he’d never get married, let alone have kids.

He just wanted his dad to be around to fill the hole in his heart left by his absence.

But instead, life served John Gray a different opportunity.

And he has created something extraordinary because he chose to take it.

John is one of the most powerful speakers I’ve ever heard (I saw him at Oprah’s Super Soul Sessions recently).

He’s also a recording artist, a pastor, an author, a husband, and a father.

Yes, all of that is possible together ๐Ÿ™‚

But what I love so much about John is his commitment to serve others by sharing his truth every day.

I’ve met few people as vulnerable and honest about life’s challenges as John.

There’s no difference in the way he talks about his struggle with losing weight as he does about his dad leaving at an early age or his experience of being called to the ministry.

As John explained, we have to preach to ourselves, in our brokenness, if we want anyone to listen.

If you’ve been questioning your value, this conversation is for you in Episode 488.
