As the Broncos are inching closer to the Super Bowl after another win on Sunday night, Tim Tebow continues to grow in popularity, especially regarding his faith.

Following up on our article about Tim Tebow, we would like to continue to encourage him in his incredible journey to the Super Bowl. Tebow has remained strong in his faith among the criticism; and though his “Tebowing” move has been mocked, he has quickly become America’s favorite quarterback.

Across the country, Tebow has become a hot topic for football viewers. He is talked about on the news and was recently depicted in a Saturday Night Live skit. So, why has Tebow captured the attention of the media? Why are we seeing Tebow everywhere?

Faith Driven Consumer speculates that this may be because he is a good guy—someone America doesn’t see much of anymore. With shows depicting men who commit adultery, abuse their spouses, and are “sex crazed,” America is lacking a positive male figure.

Tebow has become a role model. His Christian values, public displays of faith, and daily walk  through his challenges prove he is a Christian figure in the spotlight who people can admire. Parents can finally feel comfortable allowing their children to have a role model who has so much media attention.

Just weeks ago, Tim Tebow wrote John 3:16 across his face prompting millions of people to Google the verse—exposing them to the Gospel. His displays of faith have created a path for Christians to have a voice in the media.

Imagine a marketplace where we had more male figures like Tebow. By supporting other Christians in their efforts and uniting as one, we are better able to make an impact for Christ.

Just as Tebow is paving a way in entertainment, Faith Driven Consumer is creating the path for Christians to have a voice in the marketplace. Let’s continue to support Tim Tebow as he has been strong in his faith while actively sharing the Gospel. Now is the time for all of us to step up to the plate and display our faith.

Tim Tebow displays Faith on the Football Field

December 6, 2011 by 7 Comments

Broncos football player, Tim Tebow, has been in the spotlight recently as videos of his praying after touchdowns have gone viral on the web. Tebow has stated that whenever he scores a touchdown, he wants to thank God for the moment by getting down on his knees and praying.

People have been mocking Tebow for his public display of his faith by calling his prayers “Tebowing.” Fortunately, Tebow has not allowed these comments to get the best of him and he continues to praise God in public.

As Christians, it is not news that we are sometimes not well-liked in the public eye. We are often portrayed as hypocrites and bigots in the media, and many of us have become silent out of fear of persecution.

America has always been a place of religious freedom. Our Founding Fathers built this country on their biblical values. Christians maintained a vocal majority of the population for our early history, but this has changed as those who promoted their version of “religious freedom” have redefined the debate.

Faith Driven Consumers need to see Tebow’s faithfulness as a call to action for Christians. We have been complacent in our faith for too long, and often we let the world silence us for fear of persecution. God has not called us to fear, but to declare His name in confidence.

2 Timothy 1:7 says “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.”

Perhaps as Christians, we should be more like Tebow in our everyday lives and show others that we love God and will not be deterred by their criticism. If Faith Driven Consumers were to do this in the marketplace, it would be different. We need to be public in our faith. We need to be confident that God will be faithful always.
