Summary
It’s a uniquely challenging time to imagine a world without barriers, not to mention racial justice and peace. The conflict in our culture seems to get more palpable and explicit every day.
Let this week’s conversation with pastor, author, and former NFL player Derwin Gray be a seed of hope and a foundation for how we all move forward into compassion and grace.
Dr. Derwin L. Gray is the founding and lead pastor of Transformation Church, a multiethnic, multigenerational, mission-shaped community just south of Charlotte, North Carolina. He has written several books, most recently the bestselling The Good Life: What Jesus Teaches about Finding True Happiness. Gray and his wife Vicki have been married since 1992 and have two adult children.

Living a focused, engaged life of love, adventure, and impact shouldn't be a mystery.
It's what we're all wired for, it's what we all long for. But, it's not the norm. From all the places I've traveled to and the people I've met, I know that most people don't experience that kind of life. They feel...
Like they're missing out on a different life, a life that others seem to experience.
That it should've all just worked out by now, but it hasn't.
Frankly, like they're languishing- and this must be as good as it gets.
But, there's so much more...
That's why we started putting these digital courses together. I can't travel everywhere, and not everyone can travel to me. But, what if there was a way to share life together and walk through these simple ideas I've been learning?
Before, we've released these courses one at a time. Then we'd close the registration. But through the pandemic, we learned that a LOT of people want to keep growing, and they're looking for a framework they can trust.
So, we put them all together- 6 interactive digital courses. Two specifically designed to help you identify and unleash your big ambitions. One for budding authors. Another for speakers. A course for your family. A course for your career. With more coming in the future.
And, since we already have Bob Weekly as a monthly subscription for exclusive content, we threw that in there, too.
The Dream Big Academy is the place to go for people wanting to get serious about the shape of their lives.
I'd love for you to learn more- maybe even watch a short webinar we put together that goes into more detail.

| 0:26.3 | You just feel that people are on edge and almost from every angle, different sides of politics, |
| 0:33.2 | different perspectives of racial injustice, certainly different ideas for how to go forward |
| 0:39.3 | and how to fix things. |
| 0:40.8 | And yet, we sit here trying to lean into this idea of Dreaming Big. |

| 0:51.5 | and NFL former player, Derwin Gray, about breaking barriers, about inviting God in to do |
