Lake Point Church, welcome to the Dailyional. Lake Point Church.

Welcome to the Daily Drive Lake Point Church podcast.

This is Pastor D'Urwin Gray, co-founder and lead pastor of Transformation Church in the Charlotte, North Carolina area.

We were together recently, and we were having a conversation about that time.

I decided to miss practice, and I had a conversation with my high school coach and he challenged me and brought the best out of me.

It's funny how tables turned. So that happened in 1988. Well, in 1998, it was my sixth year with the Carolina Panthers.

I was living in Charlotte, North Carolina with my wife and our baby girl, Presley.

And I get a phone call from Coach Sullivan, the high school coach that saw greatness in me

and challenged me and pulled it out of me.

Well, he calls me and he wants to talk about the Panthers and talks about the NFL,

talk about what I'm doing. I stopped him and I said, coach, I don't want to talk about football

because something has happened to me. I've met Jesus. Like, coach, I've given my life to Jesus.

Like, there's a God that loves you in spite of you that forgives you, it gives you a new

life and a new power.

And so I was just telling him my testimony, basically, and he was really quiet.

And after I was done, he said, son, I need you to come to Texas.
