  3. The Journey from Self to Service: Gary Sinise & Dr. Derwin Gray

    The Journey from Self to Service: Gary Sinise & Dr. Derwin Gray

    There comes a point when our faith has grown strong enough that we can turn outward and put it to work serving those who need it most. Gary Sinise comes from a long legacy of supporting the military, from brave family members who served as far back as World War I, to portraying wounded Vietnam vet Lt. Dan Taylor in the iconic movie Forrest Gump. After the events of 9/11, Gary was inspired to find more ways to serve those who sacrificed for our nation, which he details in his book Grateful American. Dr. Derwin Gray created a successful life for himself in the NFL, desperate to escape the dysfunction that surrounded him in childhood. But after achieving his career dreams, Derwin realized he wouldn’t ever be satisfied without a greater purpose. He bravely stepped into God’s calling for his life and founded Transformation Church, a multi-ethnic church seeking to help others live a Jesus-centered life—what Dr. Gray calls in his new book The Good Life. These two men have grown their faith and been encouraged by the people they serve, and they demonstrate the beautiful things that can happen when we use our gifts and talents to bless those around us.

And I just felt compelled and called in a certain way to serve. And so you go from this singular focus on self to this broader focus on serving others.” - Gary Sinise  “I am a grateful American. I'm grateful for so many things.” - Gary Sinise “Having veterans in my family, having been involved with supporting Vietnam veterans, I just knew where I was going to employ my services, and it was going to be to help our men and women get through the next phase of deploying to the war zones and helping them and their families get through that. And that just that lit a fire under me.” - Gary Sinise  “The more I got active, the more I gave, the more I healed, the more I wanted to do.” - Gary Sinise “I've seen the needs in all these different places and I want to try to continue to help fill those needs.” - Gary Sinise “When Jesus called me, when Jesus loved me, when Jesus met me, He literally put things in me and brought gifts out of me that I didn’t even know was possible.” - Dr. Derwin Gray “By my third year in the NFL at age twenty-five, I said ‘There's got to be more to life than this.’” - Dr. Derwin Gray “It was like I was chasing my shadow and I finally caught it, but realized it went right through my hands, and I was looking for things that only Jesus can give.” - Dr. Derwin Gray “He gave me unconditional love. He gave me a new identity: beloved child of God. He gave me a new purpose, and that is to know Him and to make Him known through every facet of my life.” - Dr. Derwin Gray “Jesus's blood not only forgives our sins, but He gives us a family with different colored skins.” - Dr. Derwin Gray ”So often we are so self-sufficient that we can't be God sufficient. So often we're so centered upon ourselves that we can't be Jesus-centered.” - Dr. Derwin Gray ________________________ Enjoy these videos on Jesus Calling YouTube channel: Audio podcast: https://bit.ly/2uCnNM0  Original Series video podcast: https://bit.ly/2WzFY0O  ________________________    Connect with Jesus Calling Instagram Facebook Twitter Pinterest YouTube Jesus Calling Website Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

    Gov. DeSantis Makes It Official, Tech Issues Aside

    Governor Ron DeSantis launched his 2024 presidential campaign Wednesday night, but not without issue. His first announcement, hosted by Elon Musk on Twitter Spaces, was preceded by technical difficulties – prompting confusion & criticism from many before his initial kick-off. The long-anticipated campaign announcement makes the Florida governor the ninth Republican candidate in the race, making for a crowded GOP primary fight come February. The new candidate will likely impact which way voters are leaning in the polls, and here to break it all down is co-Director of the Fox News Poll and professor at the University of Texas at Austin, Daron Shaw. He explains how his rocky campaign kick-off could have a lasting impact on DeSantis’ campaign, if any, how his entry impacts other major candidates like President Biden and former President Trump, and what the current polling tells us about voters’ preferences for 2024. The National Memorial Day concert returns to Washington D.C., this weekend for its 34th year. The 90-minute program will air on PBS and feature musical guests, dramatic readings, and documentary footage honoring the men and women who sacrificed their lives for America’s freedom. The concert is viewed annually by U.S. troops in over 175 countries and 200 Navy ships around the world. This year’s co-host, actor and founder of the Gary Sinise Foundation, Gary Sinise, joins the Rundown for a conversation about how he got involved with the concert, what his foundation does to support veterans and their families, and how playing Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump allows soldiers to connect with him in a meaningful way. Plus, commentary by Fox Nation host Tammy Bruce. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
