From Adversity to Assignment: Derrick Furlow Jr.’s Playbook for Purpose

Jenny sits down with Derrick D. LOW Furlow Jr. — former Tennessee Vol, pro football player, author, entrepreneur, and founder of ONRISE and Sports Life Business — for a powerful conversation about faith, football, and the kind of adversity that reshapes a life!
Derrick opens up about the storms that tested him, the mindset that carried him, and the faith that ultimately aligned him with his true assignment. With his signature honesty and energy, he shares why "struggles either phase you or force you," and how choosing faith over fear changed everything.
From building the first mental health agency for athletes to inspiring thousands through his "Thankful Thursday" messages, Derrick's mission is clear: Impact, Inspire, and Empower. His book, "What's Next: How to Transition Like a Champion" is transforming lives far beyond sports — and his story will do the same for you!
This episode is a reminder that change is inevitable, but growth is optional — and God is always at work.

"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you." – Isaiah 26:3
