The Jack Brewer Show S1 EP10 | Major Wright on Faith, Fatherhood & Redemption #podcast

From NFL hits to Good Deeds: Major Wright shares how serving others saved his life.

In this moving episode of The Jack Brewer Show, former NFL star and ordained minister Jack Brewer sits down with Super Bowl champion and community leader Major Wright for an unforgettable conversation about overcoming adversity, living with purpose, and healing America’s next generation.

Major Wright shares his powerful testimony—from growing up fatherless and attending nine schools to reaching the NFL and falling into depression after his football career ended. A single act of kindness to a homeless man changed everything, awakening Wright to his true purpose: serving others and inspiring kids through his “Good Deed Tuesday” movement.

Brewer and Wright tackle hard truths about fatherlessness, crime in urban communities, and the toxic spread of victimhood. They challenge parents, pastors, and leaders to rise up and model faith, responsibility, and love for our youth.

Listeners will be stirred by Wright’s redemptive story, equipped with tools for impact, and inspired to bring the values of faith, family, and accountability into their homes and communities.
