It's Your Time to Heal: God's Steps with Pastor Derwin Gray

Author: Dr Daniel & Tana Amen August 31, 2026 Duration: 32:28
What if the Gospel is the answer to America's deepest divisions and to our deepest wounds? In this episode, we sit down with Pastor Derwin Gray; former NFL player turned church planter, best-selling author, and founder of Transformation Church — for a raw, hope-filled conversation about faith, identity, healing, and what it really means to follow Jesus in a fractured world.
 
Derwin shares his journey from the football field to the pulpit, why he believes churches aren't optional but essential, and how genuine faith moves beyond Sunday mornings into everyday transformation. We also touch on insights from Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen on the connection between brain health, emotional healing, and spiritual wholeness and exploring how faith and science can work together toward a fully healed life.
 
If you've ever wondered whether faith can survive contact with real life — and actually heal what's broken — this episode is for you.
 

What if the small, daily decisions you make about food, thought patterns, and lifestyle are actively shaping your biology for better or worse? That’s the central exploration you’ll find within Change Your Brain Every Day, a conversation hosted by Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen. Moving beyond theory, this podcast delivers practical, actionable strategies rooted in clinical experience. Each episode feels like a direct consultation, where the Amens translate complex neuroscience into clear steps anyone can use. You’ll hear them discuss how specific habits influence conditions like anxiety, focus, and low mood, offering a tangible sense of agency over your own mental and physical well-being. The tone is both authoritative and deeply encouraging, stripping away the overwhelm that often accompanies health advice. Rather than promising a single miracle cure, the focus is on sustainable, incremental change-the kind that compounds over weeks and months to create lasting results. Tuning into this podcast is an investment in understanding the direct connection between your daily life and your brain’s health. It’s for anyone who feels stuck in unhelpful cycles or is simply curious about optimizing their mind. The Amens act as guides, providing the tools to not just manage symptoms, but to fundamentally reshape your approach to your own health journey, one day at a time.
