Tim Tebow Calls Sharing His Faith ‘The Most Loving Thing That We Could Do’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Former football star Tim Tebow recently sat down for an interview about his devotion to sharing his faith with the rest of the world.
“I think it’s the most loving thing that we could do,” Tebow said of his commitment to sharing his faith. “If you really believe the rescue mission of Jesus Christ … of what He did for us on the cross … a great joy for all the people, and if I’ve been able to receive this free gift … and if I don’t share that with someone else, that’s not loving.”
He continued, “It’s actually selfish, and the most loving thing that I can do is to share that in a kind and loving way.”
Tebow shared that he believes everyone has a “God-given mission,” and he wants to help people find that mission with his new devotional, “Mission Possible One-Year Devotional: 365 Days of Inspiration for Pursuing Your God-Given Purpose.”
“It’s a title that I love, because it’s an encouragement to me, and it motivates me,” the football star said. “When you understand that you do have a mission and you understand it’s possible, I think it can be a driving force in our life.”
Tebow explained that, by starting the day with Scripture and truth, we can overcome any obstacle.
“Ultimately, I think all of us in our flesh want comfort. We desire comfort and we work for comfort,” he explained. “But what we realize in our walk with the Lord … the more we get outside of our comfort zone, a lot of times the more impact we can have.”
Movieguide® previously reported on Tebow’s devotional:
In a new video, football star Tim Tebow is asking Christians about their commitment to reading the Bible and encouraging them to make it part of their everyday routine.
“Don’t get me wrong, I love coffee too! But it’s interesting to think about how committed we are to morning tasks like making coffee,” Tebow captioned his video.
He continued, “Imagine if we were as committed to being in His presence and His word every morning as we are to coffee. Instead of saying, ‘Before I start my day, I need coffee,’ saying, ‘Before I start my day, I need Jesus!’ Wow, that would be life-changing, and more life-giving than a cup of coffee could ever be.”
In the video, Tebow said, “Literally as we were getting ready to film, we were brewing this coffee, and I could read multiple devotionals in the time that this coffee brewed. And I was just thinking, ‘If we did that every day, we would be brewing coffee for energy and focus, but we would be brewing our soul for what God has in store for our lives.’”
The video was made to promote Tebow’s upcoming devotional, the Mission Possible One-Year Devotional: 365 Days of Inspiration for Pursuing Your God-Given Purpose.
In a post announcing the book, Tebow wrote:
I am so excited to share something that has been on my heart for a while now— the release of my first devotional. With daily devotions written by me and some of the inspirational people I have encountered in my life, including those we have served through the @timtebowfoundation, my prayer is that this devotional will give you 365 days of inspiration to help you live a meaningful life.
This devotional revolves around what a @missionpossiblelife means and what it takes to live it. I hope it will be a tool that helps you spend more time with God, and learn more about Him and yourself every day, so that you can make each day count.
