In this gripping episode, Justin Christopher Wren — former heavyweight fighter and the heart behind Fight For The Forgotten — joins Phillip and Neen for a raw, emotional, and deeply human conversation. Justin shares his harrowing journey from childhood torment and addiction to suicidal despair... and then, something unexplainable happened. After crying out to the universe for meaning, Justin had a vision — a vivid, surreal calling that pulled him out of his darkest place and sent him halfway across the world. That vision? Help the forgotten people of the Congo. And he did. Now known as “The Big Pygmy,” Justin tells the unbelievable true story of his time living among the Mbuti pygmy people — digging wells, securing land rights, and surviving malaria five times — all in service of a mission bigger than himself. This isn’t just a story about fighting. It’s about redemption. Purpose. And what happens when a man listens to something greater than fear. 👇Learn how to support: 🌍Fight For The Forgotten 📲Follow Justin: @‌thebigpygmy Not A Damn Chance Ep. 05 Intro By: DREAMROOM PICTURES https://www.instagram.com/phillipfranklandlee/ https://www.instagram.com/neenwilliams/ https://store.ymhstudios.com Chapters 00:00:00 - Intro 00:01:38 - Justin Wren 00:07:35 - Being Bullied 00:19:45 - Seeing The Bullies Again 00:27:10 - Thankful For The Hurt 00:34:44 - Waking Up 00:39:57 - Purpose Through Service 00:43:06 - Asking the Universe 00:54:00 - Landing In Africa 00:56:08 - The Vision Coming To Life 01:01:10 - On Death's Door 01:06:17 - Fighting For The Forgotten 01:12:08 - It Was Meant To Be 01:15:57 - Ten Year Dream Learn more about your ad choices.
