Today on Point of View, Kerby welcomes Pastor Derwin L. Gray, a former NFL football player as well as the founding and lead pastor of Transformation Church (TC), one of the fastest-growing churches in America. He tells us more about his book, The High Definition Leader: Building Multi-ethnic Churches in a Multi-ethnic World. Gray's book is an invitation of grace for churches and their leaders to grasp the ancient call of the early New Testament Church that crossed ethnic and socioeconomic barriers to create heavenly colonies of love, reconciliation, and unity on earth.
In the second hour we hear from Daniel Darling, vice president of communications for the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention. He discusses his book, The Original Jesus: Trading the Myths We Create for the Savior Who Is.

Derwin L. Gray is the founding and Lead Pastor of Transformation Church, a multi-ethnic, multi-generational, mission-shaped community with two campuses in South Carolina (Indian Land and Rock Hill), both just south of Charlotte, North Carolina. Transformation Church (TC) also has two campuses in South Carolina Correctional Institutions (Kershaw and Lee). For three out of the last five years, TC has been recognized as one of the top 100 fastest-growing churches in America by Outreach magazine. Pastor Derwin met his wife, Vicki, at Brigham Young University. They have been married for 23 years and have two children. After graduating from Brigham Young University, Pastor Derwin played professional football in the NFL for five years with the Indianapolis Colts (1993-1997) and one year with the Carolina Panthers (1998). During that time, he and Vicki began their journey with Christ and experienced God’s faithfulness and direction as He moved their hearts to know Him and make Him known. Read the “Life Story” tab to find out about the “Naked Preacher” who told Pastor Derwin about Jesus! Pastor Derwin and Vicki began an itinerant speaking ministry in 1999–One Heart At A Time Ministries–and Pastor Derwin went on to graduate magna cum laude from Southern Evangelical Seminary with a Master of Divinity (M.Div.) degree, with a concentration in Apologetics. But following God’s call on their lives and their desire to shepherd people towards transforming their world through the mission of Christ, the Lord transitioned Derwin from his primary role of itinerant speaker to being the Lead Pastor of Transformation Church in January of 2010. Coupling his dynamic speaking style with a shepherd’s heart, his intense passion for seeing lives and culture transformed is both contagious and inspiring.
