Going Big with Rep. Burgess Owens: Faith, Grit, and the American Dream
In this episode of Going Big!, host Kevin Gentry sits down with Congressman Burgess Owens for an unforgettable conversation about perseverance, faith, and rediscovering the American Dream. From growing up in the segregated South to becoming a Super Bowl champion and later rebuilding his life after losing everything, Burgess shares how grit, humility, and service became his foundation.
He reflects on the values that shaped his journey—faith, family, free enterprise, and education—and how they continue to drive his mission in Congress and his work with underserved youth. Burgess speaks candidly about failure, resilience, mentorship, and how America’s spirit of opportunity gives every person a chance to rise again.
This conversation is a moving reminder that success is not measured by titles or trophies but by character, conviction, and how we lift others along the way. Whether you’re chasing your next big goal or searching for renewed purpose, Burgess Owens’ story will challenge you to believe again, dream again, and go big.
