More and more people of fame are being honest about their faith. This trend is true in Hollywood, politics and even sports.
Around a month ago, Baker Mayfield, the quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was interviewed on a platform called Sports Spectrum personifying the power of doing so. In his interview he is asked about his Christian faith and he responds in a remarkably authentic, intentional and detailed way. His journey is the path for so many who experience a deeper conversion to Christ. Taking a closer look into his story can aid us in growing more deeply in our faith as well as guide us to how we can bring others to conversion as well.
Other quarterbacks like Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders, Bo Nix of the Denver Broncos, C.J. Stroud of the Houston Texans and Brock Purdy of the San Francisco 49ers all proclaim their faith regularly and unreservedly. Like Mayfield, their witness ought to challenge us to do so as well because having God as our foundation makes us immovable—no matter what the world thinks.
