UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell stood at a press conference and did something nobody expected. He pulled out three nails and preached the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
"At one point in human history, three nails held up all of our sins. There was a man who is actually a God in the flesh. His name is Jesus Christ."
Mitchell did not give a polished summary. He told the story in raw detail. The crown of thorns pressed into his skull. The whip with barbs on the end. The spear. The cross carried up the hill while people spit on him and called him names. He held nothing back.
Now, Bryce Mitchell is a polarizing figure. He has made statements outside of this moment that many people, including many believers, have found deeply troubling. That is fair to acknowledge. We are not here to endorse everything he has ever said or done.
It is also worth noting that some of the specific details he described about the crucifixion may not be historically verifiable. We cannot confirm every claim he made. What we do know beyond any doubt is that Jesus was beaten so severely that the Bible says He was barely recognizable as a man. The suffering was real. The brutality was real. The cross was real.
We can separate the messenger from the message. And the message he delivered here is the gospel. Unfiltered. Unapologetic. At a press conference in front of cameras and microphones.
"For the longest time I didn't know him. And when I found out that story, I've never been the same ever since."
God has always used imperfect and even controversial people to speak truth. What matters is whether the truth being spoken is real. And the story of three nails holding up the sins of the world is as real as it gets.
"Anyone that chooses to believe in his name, Jesus Christ, will be saved, and all of our sins were held up by three nails just like this."
"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God" (1 Corinthians 1:18).
Has the story of the cross ever changed you the way it changed Bryce Mitchell?
This is one of the most unfiltered gospel presentations you will hear from any public platform. Bryce Mitchell did not soften it. He did not make it comfortable. He told the story of the crucifixion in front of cameras and microphones and held up three nails and said this is what saved the world. He said for the longest time he did not know Jesus. And when he found out that story, he was never the same. That is the power of the cross. Pray for Bryce Mitchell and pray that everyone who heard that press conference thinks about those three nails.
The fact that ppl actually just hate this kid because of his father/family is so pitiful to me 🤣
I’m so glad he shared that story just so yall can see it was actually a genuine gift coming from a family mindset !
Yall need to find GOD seriously 🤦♂️
ALERT: 'OutKick' founder and Fox News contributor Clay Travis torches the NFL for gouging their fans while violating the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961.
"Most of your constituents are frustrated. They don't know how to find games, and they are having to pay far too much when they have the opportunity to actually watch those games. I don't know how many of you remember back in the day when you can have one remote control in your hand, and you can easily flip to any different game... They just want to be able to watch their favorite team and not have to struggle to do so."
To watch all the NFL games in 2025 on streaming, you would have needed Sunday Ticket, Netflix, Peacock, Amazon Prime Video, ESPN Unlimited, and NFL+, for a minimum price of $575, according to Fox News.
What does being “Coachable” look like?
- Eye contact
- Good body language
- Nodding when listening
- Growth mindset
- Seek feedback
- No excuses
- Leave ego at the door
- Accept criticism
Being coachable isn't knowing it all.
It's being willing to learn it all.
Sean McVay said, “Winning is a habit; let’s make it ours.”
Winning is a lifestyle. It is how you do things.
What habits make winning possible?
Here are the 6 Habits of Winners.
1. Keep Stacking Days
Winners show up every day. It’s not about going all out once in a while but consistency. Small, daily actions compound over time. Whether in the gym, the classroom, or your mindset, showing up EVERY DAY beats sporadic intensity.
2. Focus on the Process, Not Just the Results
Winners don’t obsess over outcomes—they focus on the steps that get them there. The journey is where growth happens. By locking in on the process, they make success inevitable by constantly improving what they can control.
3. Embrace the Struggle
Winners don’t shy away from challenges or discomfort. They know that growth happens in the tough moments. When others quit or back down, winners lean in. They understand that pain and struggle are part of the path to greatness.
4. Adapt and Adjust
Winners are flexible. They don’t stick to a rigid plan when things change - they adapt. Whether it’s a new strategy, an unexpected challenge, or setbacks, winners adjust and keep moving forward.
5. Stay Humble and Hungry
No matter how much success they’ve had, winners never think they’ve “arrived.” They remain humble, knowing there’s always room to improve. And they stay hungry, constantly pushing themselves to improve, no matter how much they’ve already achieved.
6. Mental Toughness
Winners build mental resilience. They don’t let failures define them or allow external pressures to control their mindset. They train their minds as much as their bodies, learning to stay focused, calm, and confident in any situation.

Father, I come before You, knowing that prayer is my lifeline, my anchor in the storm. When life gets chaotic, I know You hear my cries, like a father listening to his child. I'm not relying on my own strength, but Yours— unshakable and unchanging. I trust that You'll carry me through, no matter how fierce the winds blow. Help me speak with boldness, believing that my prayers move mountains, that You'll act on what I ask. Lord, let Your power rise within me, and may my faith grow stronger with each prayer I offer.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
THE MOST DANGEROUS PRAYER YOU WILL EVER PRAY
Jesus Himself taught this prayer.
Millions recite it every day.
Few realize what they are actually asking for.
“Our Father, who art in heaven...”
The moment you say those words, you are calling the Creator of the universe your Father.
“Thy Kingdom come.”
You are asking God to establish His reign in your life, even if it means removing the things that keep you from Him.
“Thy will be done.”
Not my plans.
Not my ambitions.
Not my desires.
His will.
Even when it is difficult.
“Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.”
These may be the most challenging words in the entire prayer.
We ask God to forgive us in the same measure that we forgive others.
“Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.”
Because the battle for the soul is real.
And no one reaches Heaven alone.
The Our Father is not merely a prayer.
It is a surrender.
It is a declaration of trust.
It is a roadmap to holiness given by Christ Himself.
The next time you pray it, do not rush.
Pray every word as if you mean it.
Because Jesus did not teach us empty words.
He taught us how to speak to God.
AMEN 🙏
