“WE HAVE A LIMITED NUMBER OF DAYS ON THIS PLANET SO GIVE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN, SERVE AS BEST YOU CAN, AND LOVE AS HARD AS YOU CAN...” 

IT IS WITH THIS INTENTIONALITY THAT JOHN GRAY LIVES HIS LIFE AND IT IS EVIDENT TO THOSE CLOSEST TO HIM AND THOSE WHO FOLLOW HIM FROM AROUND THE WORLD.

IT’S DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE JOHN GRAY IN ONE WORD. IF YOU HAVE EVER HEARD JOHN GRAY SPEAK, YOU KNOW IT’S NOT JUST A TALK, IT’S AN EXPERIENCE. JOHN CONTINUES TO DEFY DESCRIPTION AND LABELS BY SEAMLESSLY INTEGRATING WORSHIP, LAUGHTER, PREACHING, EXHORTATION, AND ENCOURAGEMENT INTO ONE EXPERIENCE. HIS MULTI-PLATFORM AUDIENCE TRANSCENDS AND OSCILLATES BETWEEN HIS ROLES AS A HUSBAND, FATHER OF TWO, PASTOR, SPEAKER, MENTOR, ENTREPRENEUR, PHILANTHROPIST, PRODUCER, AND MUSICAL ARTIST. JOHN IS ALSO A TWO-TIME PUBLISHED AUTHOR OF THE INSIGHTFUL “I AM NUMBER 8” AND “WIN FROM WITHIN.” IN, “I AM NUMBER 8,” HE DIVES INTO HIS REAL-LIFE EXPERIENCES ABOUT BEING OVERLOOKED AND UNDERVALUED BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. “WIN FROM WITHIN” SPEAKS TO THE READERS’ INNER STRUGGLES AND AWAKENS HIS AUDIENCE TO FIND THEMSELVES BY FACING THEMSELVES. HE STARRED IN THE HIT DOCU-SERIES, “THE BOOK OF JOHN GRAY” WHICH AIRED ON THE OPRAH WINFREY NETWORK. JOHN IS THE SENIOR PASTOR OF RELENTLESS CHURCH IN GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA WHILE STILL SERVING AS A TEACHING VOICE AT LAKEWOOD CHURCH, IN HOUSTON, TEXAS. PASTOR JOHN WAS PREVIOUSLY NAMED TO OPRAH’S SUPER SOUL 100, A COLLECTION OF 100 AWAKENED LEADERS WHO ARE USING THEIR VOICES AND TALENT TO ELEVATE HUMANITY. HE CONTINUES TO USE THE WEIGHT OF HIS CALLING TO BUILD BRIDGES USING COMEDY AS A GATEWAY TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER. PASTOR JOHN WAS BORN IN CINCINNATI, OHIO AND CURRENTLY RESIDES IN GREENVILLE, SC WITH HIS WIFE, AVENTER  AND THEIR TWO CHILDREN, JOHN W. GRAY IV (FOUR) AND THEORY ASPYN-SKY GRAY (TUTU).
