This absolutely belongs in the same conversation as Chris Stapleton and Whitney Houston. Yeah … it’s that good.

Well done, @DanAndShay — and well done to the thousands in the crowd proudly and loudly singing along.

[TreVeyon Henderson @TreVeyonH4]

If you read this, I pray that this gives you hope. Your sin may be great, but God’s grace is greater. Turn away from sin and put your trust in Jesus 🙏🏽

“God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”
Ephesians 2:8-10

Tim Tebow announces that his father has passed away at the age of 78 following a battle with Parkinson's.

"Heaven ushered in a hero of the faith last night as my Dad was welcomed home!" Tebow said.

"Many will say sorry for your loss but the truth is he's not lost, we know exactly where he is. He's home. Forever!"

"I asked him last week what he looked forward to most about Heaven, and he simply said, "Jesus.""

"He couldn't wait to see Jesus face to face. Praise God that his wait is over. Death has been swallowed up in victory. He's healed and whole now. So we don't mourn as those with no hope. See you soon Dad!"

During a recent appearance on the Shawn Ryan Show, Tebow shared a story about his father and explained why he was one of his greatest role models.

When you’re trying to:

- be a good dad
- be a good husband
- stay jacked
- provide for the family
- fix things around the house

And not have a mental breakdown 😮‍💨

I used to think Christians were naive. I thought faith in God was just an emotional crutch for people who could not handle reality.

Now I think the opposite.

The more seriously I looked at life, history, suffering, conscience, beauty, evil, and the limits of human reason, the less convincing atheism became.

Because everyone has faith. Everyone. The only real question is where that faith is placed.

In God, or in man.

I was taught that intelligence means distance from God. But what is so intelligent about believing that matter somehow produced mind, that chaos somehow produced order, that chemistry somehow produced conscience, and that human beings can ground morality by themselves while constantly contradicting even their own standards?

If we are only matter, then human dignity is just a useful story. Love is chemistry. Evil is preference. Sacrifice is irrational. Meaning is self invented. But almost no one actually lives that way. We all live as if truth matters, as if cruelty is really wrong, as if beauty means something, as if love is more than a chemical reaction, and as if justice should exist even when it costs us.

That is not nothing. That points beyond survival.

The Bible understood this long before modern people started pretending they had outgrown it.

Genesis grounds human dignity in the image of God. That means people are not valuable because they are productive, attractive, healthy, or useful. They are valuable because they bear His image.

John 1 does not begin with chaos. It begins with the Logos. Reason, order, meaning. Reality is not random noise. It is intelligible because it comes from a mind greater than ours.

Ecclesiastes says that pleasure, work, success, and achievement collapse into vanity when cut off from God. Anyone who has chased status, money, sex, or recognition long enough knows how true that is.

Romans 1 says creation points beyond itself. And it does. The order of the world, the mathematical beauty of reality, the existence of consciousness, the hunger for meaning, the presence of moral knowledge, these are not small things.

And history teaches the same lesson. The bloodiest experiments of the last century did not come from too much faith in God. They came from man trying to replace God with ideology, state, race, class, or power. When God is removed, something else always takes His place. Usually something crueler.

Christianity also does not begin with a vague spiritual feeling. It makes a historical claim. That Christ entered history, was crucified, and rose again. You can reject that claim, but it is not the same as saying faith is just blind comfort. Christianity stands or falls on what it says actually happened.

So no, I no longer think faith in God is stupid.

I think one of the most shallow ideas modern people were ever sold is that disbelief is automatically intelligent.

Sometimes disbelief is not depth. Sometimes it is pride.

And sometimes faith is not an escape from reality. It is what remains when you look at reality honestly enough and realize that man is not enough, matter is not enough, and this world cannot explain itself.

I used to think Christians were foolish.

Now I think many of them simply saw earlier what I was too proud to see.

Kids want more dad time. Wife wants more husband time. Parents want more son time. Work wants more of your time. And you still show up. Shoutout to the men doing it all. 🙌

After the team flew back following UConn’s National Championship loss, Tarris Reed Jr. prepared a speech on short notice for UConn’s Athletes In Action meeting.

“I told myself I would let the Holy Spirit speak through me.”

He revealed that night, both Azzi Fudd and KK Arnold of UConn WBB got baptized

Truly amazing work and an inspirational message from T-Reed 🙏

Good Friday.

Fun times. Major conflict and our country wants to take for granted security while traveling. Genius

Tom Izzo is now 26-9 in the second game of an NCAA Tournament weekend.

Seven of those nine losses have come to a No. 1 seed or the eventual national champion.

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

This is incredibly generous.

TSA agents across the country are relying on food pantries and community donations just to get by.

I remain the lone Dem to vote with my Republican colleagues to fully fund DHS and get people paid.

It should never come to this point.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Tom Izzo shares an uncomfortable truth about earning your spot.

"You play real good, you start. You don't play as good, you work your way back in."

"That's the American way - except America has gotten soft."

You don't get what you want in life - you get what you earn.

It starts with showing up and earning it every single day.

No shortcuts...Just hard work.

I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country

Former Alabama running back Trent Richardson weighed in on Nick Saban’s stance against paying players.

“Honestly, I don’t get why he’s even commenting on it, they gave me and my family $75,000 just to commit, plus $10,000 a month to stay at Alabama.”

[Kevin Sorbo @ksorbs]

Struggling to wrap my head around this. Tim Tebow gave Congress a map with 338,000+ unique IP addresses in the United States that have traded/shared images of children being sexually abused in the past 6 months and NOBODY is talking about it.

[Michigan State Hockey @MSU_Hockey]

For the first time in program history the Michigan State Spartans are back-to-back-to-back Big Ten champs!

[Demi-Leigh Tebow @DemiTebow]

Today @timtebow stands before the Senate to fight for the most vulnerable children — and I'm asking you to stand with him. The Renewed Hope Act is within reach, but it needs pressure from people like you to cross the finish line. ⬇️

[Hoop Herald @TheHoopHerald]

No exaggeration

This is a top 5 highlight tape ever

The man is a freak of nature
