Tim Tebow

Man, January 8th and 9th have been special days throughout my life. Grateful for all that God has done and continues to do!

Such an honor to be part of the national championship win in ‘08, and then upsetting the Steelers in overtime a few years later and, more importantly, seeing God do something cool with the John 3:16 game! Then on Jan. 9, 2019, fortunately Demi said yes to marrying me (even though she still probably had a ton of questions about me!) Then yesterday to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, it’s just such an honor.

Pretty incredible days I’ve been so blessed to have, but I’ve got nothing going on for January 10th yet 😂 Will keep working on that. Hope y’all are having a great day fam!

Happy Father’s Day LinkedIn fam! Hope y’all are having a great one, enjoy these days + moments!

Happy Independence Day! God bless you, and God bless the USA. 🇺🇸🙏🏼

So grateful for such a unique and incredible morning touring the Billy Graham Library. Thank you to Franklin Graham for showing us around and sharing about your dad’s incredible ministry... and for your time in discussing Night to Shine and the work of TTF!

#NightToShine 2022 Shine-Thrus are taking place worldwide! Across the entire United States and close to 40 different countries!

Thankful for the highs and even the lows, the opportunities, and the setbacks. I’ve never wanted to make decisions out of fear of failure and I’m grateful for the chance to have pursued a dream.

Thank you to the Jacksonville Jaguars organization and everyone who has supported me in this journey.

And we know that…God works all things together for good. Romans 8:28

LinkedIn Fam, Demi and I recently traveled to Greece and experienced some impactful places where heroes of faith walked before us. Wanted to share this one with you in hopes that this leaves you feeling inspired today ⬇️

In the background of ancient Corinth is this mountain/hill called “Acrocorinth.” ⛰️

All over the hill, there are massive fortified walls because it was a great defense position for several civilizations throughout history.

The term “Acrocorinth” is not mentioned in the Bible, but its presence would have been seen by Paul when he visited Corinth (Acts 18)!

The wall forts on Acrocorinth could’ve been the visual Paul had in mind in 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, “For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, we have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”

“Strongholds” is the Greek word ouchuroma, which means a “fortress” or a “strong military fort.” In ancient times, this sort of fort would be built on high ground with 20+ ft walls to protect it (as they are on Acrocorinth).

Here, in 2 Cor. 10:4, Paul shares that, in Christ, we have divine power to take control of our thoughts, pull down the lies & ‘strongholds’ we believe, and replace them with the voice of Truth!

Far too often I let things stay in my head longer than they should (i.e. frustration, bitterness, comparison, etc.). Grateful for God’s grace and how we have the ability to take our thoughts captive! Today, be reminded that:

- God loves you so much
- You’re infinitely valuable to Him
- You’re not defined by your scars, but by His
- You don’t have to reinforce mental ‘walls’ that need to come down
- God’s truth & power wins every time!

LinkedIn, are you building those around you up?

Talk about your blessings more than you talk about your burdens.

We have been heartbroken over the crisis in Afghanistan, the loss of our brave servicemen and women, and the loss of so many other precious lives. With so much suffering around the world, we ask that you join us in prayer. Prayer for the country of Afghanistan, the evacuees, the families of those lost, Louisiana & Mississippi, Haiti, the flooding in TN, the fires out west, Covid-19, and so much more. We ask you to pray alongside TTF as we try to help fight for those who are hurting.

With so many challenges, we, the body of Christ have many opportunities to impact those directly affected by these crises. In the dark, the light of Jesus shines brightest. As we pray over each of these crises, let’s all seek ways to serve those affected and be ready when God calls us to step in to make a difference in the life of another.

Romans 12:21 calls us “to not be over come by evil, but to overcome evil with good.” We are made for these moments. Let’s pray always and serve strong together those in great need. To God be all the glory. We are praying over you!

Prayer is so special because it is open to us 24/7. God is available to us at any time of the day, no matter what is happening in our lives or the circumstances around us. Let's not forget the gift of prayer-- not just before dinner but throughout our day, every day!

Today is World Down Syndrome Day, and I just want to tell all of my friends with Down Syndrome that you are so loved, and God created you with a plan and purpose. You are a King or Queen every single day to us, and to God! #worlddownsyndromeday

Faith, Hope and Love will not only endure, but will always shine the brightest in the darkest of seasons. #NightToShine

So great spending time with Chase and his amazing wife Sadie today. His faith and attitude inspires me so much! Love you brother.

LinkedIn family, please pray with me for Chase, Sadie and their families as Chase so courageously continues to fight bone cancer.

It’s my mission, and our mission at TTF, to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves. As long as God gives me breath, we will relentlessly fight for those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour – those with special needs, those with no home or family to call their own, those facing life-threatening illnesses, those trapped in slavery worldwide.

We have to stand up and fight for the forgotten. We have to remember them. We have to remember the times we have been called and convicted of a need. We have to say Not On Our Watch, and this #GivingTuesday, I’m asking you to stand with us to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves. Please visit https://lnkd.in/g84bFmc

Are you a people pleaser? I encourage you to watch this...

Only God has the right to define your life. Critics have no right to define you. Today, start tuning them out, and tune into God’s voice.

Perspective.

I totally disagree with people telling kids that they can accomplish anything they want.

Instead, I share that you can reach your God-given potential. We can’t all be THE best, or great at everything... but we can be our best.

You and I were created by God to be so much more than normal. Following the crowd is not a winning approach to life...we never become who God created us to be by trying to be like everybody else.

Four years of miles, memories, and moments - together and apart - a lifetime ahead, until death do us part. A noble wife you’ve always been, and at all times you’re my closest friend. Happy anniversary ❤️🌹 Demi-Leigh Tebow

The little things you do each day add up. They matter. They contribute to the bigger picture. As you head into a new week, embrace the grind, and know that there is power in the mundane and detail!

When I was 15 years old, my calling to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves was born...

From that point, I knew what God wanted me to do in this life. This is why I’m so grateful to stand in the gap for boys & girls around the world with special needs who have never been told about the God that loves, that they’re special, or that they’re loved. This is why Tim Tebow Foundation’s Night to Shine is so special to me and why it’s my favorite night of the year. For more on Night to Shine, visit https://lnkd.in/deBaMKY

God gave you whatever challenges you have for a reason. If you’re feeling discouraged, trust his character. Trust that He has your best interest at heart. He has a better outcome for your life than you can imagine. His love is perfect. He loves you perfectly. We may see ourselves as unworthy, unusable, flawed, or broken, but God looks at us as shining stars. He thinks about us all the time, countless thoughts that are precious, and beloved.

I think ultimately there is nothing greater we can do on Earth than make someone’s else’s life better because we were in their life.

What do y’all think? I would love your thoughts...

A sobering reality.

Today is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day, and I wanted to share something on my heart with you...

Every day, we hear stories of girls and boys trapped in human trafficking. To that end, we are moving as quickly as possible to solidify our three-step strategy to help end this tragedy.

Even with a well-crafted plan, a sobering reality remains. Alongside our partners, we have the capacity to rescue many victims, but there are not enough beds or safe homes to house them post-rescue. Many experts in Anti-Human Trafficking believe there are not enough beds or safe homes available, even if we rescued just 10% of victims in the United States. Yes, you read that right. We do not have enough beds for just 10% of survivors if they were rescued. It's estimated there are just 1,800 available beds across the nation, yet there are hundreds of thousands of victims in need. This blows me away.

At TTF, we are working relentlessly on changing this unacceptable statistic. We are rallying our networks, relationships, and contacts to see how quickly we can move to build and maintain the best safe homes for these survivors. Today, I ask you to come alongside our team with your voice, your resources, and your prayers. Visit https://lnkd.in/dntTAea

In my opinion, the true meaning of sacrifice: give up what you want now for what you ultimately want most.

What are sacrificing today? What gratification are you delaying to help you get to where you truly want to get to?

What is the true meaning of sacrifice in my opinion? It’s giving up what you want now for what you want most.

It’s a choice, will you give into what you prefer to have in the moment? Or will you choose to remain focused on making decisions to get you closer to where you want to be most?

LinkedIn, in whatever you're doing today, are you doing it with joy?

My encouragement today, strive to be musar-driven…

1. Seek out instruction
2. Be a listener
3. Be a discerner
4. Be willing to get uncomfortable

Listen to many different people you respect, collect information, process, discern, use scripture, act… and I encourage you to do it all with an open heart.

#TbT to a great encouraging day with Franklin Graham

I want you to be successful, but more than that I want you to have a life of significance.

When you focus on other people and loving them, it will be life-changing and it will be fulfilling. That’s a life of significance.

If I don’t fight, or you don’t fight for hurting people, who will? My calling in life is to stand on the line everyday, all day, for people who can’t fight for themselves. Because we can never forget those in this world who need us to fight for them.

Thank you KLOVE for the honor of the Sports Impact Award!

So much of my life I’ve chased awards, championships, and put so much effort behind being the MVP. I hope the remainder of my life I put way more effort, focus, and energy into fighting for the real MVP - the worlds most vulnerable people.

Reminder, you are not an accident. You are not here by chance. You are not just sitting in that seat because you happened to stumble upon it. God has a plan and purpose for your life!

Thanks so much for having me this morning Fox and Friends! Maybe the Mission Possible One-Year Devotional can be a Christmas gift for your loved ones that encourages them to spend time with God every day and start living a life of significance. Life can be hard and discouraging sometimes, but God's Word is our constant through it all!

Challenge for you today: Push yourself harder at the gym. Develop your skills. Set up a meeting with your boss and ask for constructive feedback. Sign up to lead the presentation. Do something that doesn't come easy to you!

LinkedIn fam, here's a question to ask yourself at work today: How can you approach a challenge you've been avoiding knowing that God is on your side?

I would encourage all leaders out there to really take the time to know your team.

Once you know them, you’ll understand better how to support them, encourage them, challenge them and love them. And then lastly, once they know you love them and have their best interests at heart, you have the chance to help them get better. So my encouragement to leaders is simple - know your team, love your team, make your team better.

Not every day is game day. But every day is a day we get to push our mission forward.

Every day is a day to embrace the grind, and put in the hard, necessary, and daily work that is pretty unglamorous. The grind can seem on the surface to be absent of meaning or reward.

The moments behind the scenes might not have the payoff but if you don’t put in those moments, you’ll never get the payoff.

What’s just as if not more important as game day is the accumulative value of the practices and training put in on Tuesday morning and Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon. In fact, the tip off matters more when each day that week you attacked your drills for hours when no one was watching. You have to make the Tuesday on February 7th just as important as national championship day.

The English writer Alan Armstrong said, “Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character.” This is the mindset of hard work, practice, grit, endurance—all ingredients that dreams are made of.

You don’t have to be an athlete to engage in life with this kind of intensity; you just have to live a Mission Possible Life. There is nothing neutral about living a mission possible life.

There’s power in the details. There’s purpose in being prepared. When you pursue the grind with purpose and truly devote yourself wholly to live mission possible, even on your honeymoon, even the day after the national championship, even when the big business deal is won, you continue to prepare yourself for the next moment that comes. And the next, and the one after that.

Hope this can encourage you!

God isn't scared of your questions. Bring them to Him. It's better to vent to Him than to run from Him! Just like we have to strive to live above our feelings, we must strive to live above our doubts and above our questions!

Failing doesn’t make you a failure.

I’ve learned so much more from my lows than I ever have from my highs. The disappointing times in my life taught me more and gave me greater endurance. So, if you’re in a season of adversity right now, just keep pressing on...I believe in you 💪🏽

No matter how successful you are, I am sure you have been knocked down. Everyone goes through obstacles and disappointment in life. It's not will you go through disappointments, but rather how will you handle them?

What is your mindset? Where is your focus? How is your confidence & belief? Are you going to continue the fight, or quit the fight?

I want you to be encouraged, because I believe you possess the strength to continue the fight. Eventually you'll get knocked down and obstacles will arise, but I want you to take the mindset that you won't quit, or shy away from the challenge. Take it one step at a time with the best attitude you can have. If you quit, you'll never know what you missed out on.

Spread love today and every day, LinkedIn fam! Be a light at your place of work. Happy Valentine's Day.

As believers, God calls us to live our lives with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. This isn’t always easy to do, especially when we’re under stress, dealing with an unfair situation or just not having our best day. But we can all strive to do our best to live these virtues out. Hope y’all have a restful Sunday and great week ahead.

🙏🏻

If you don’t take a stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.

Today is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. Will you turn awareness into action and help push back the evil of human trafficking?

Together, thanks to our Tim Tebow Foundation giving family, we have been able to push back the evil of human trafficking and child exploitation by bringing freedom and justice to more survivors than ever before. In 2024…
More than 1,200 victims of human trafficking and child exploitation were identified or rescued through our work with law enforcement and partners across the globe.

We rallied bi-partisan congressional leaders to introduce the Renewed Hope Act of 2024 to fight child sexual exploitation and advocate for the 50,000+ unidentified child victims of sexual abuse and exploitation.

Together, we expanded our global survivor care network to 43 safe homes and 17 more homes in progress across 10 countries.

Through our work with law enforcement and partners, 8 operations were conducted, resulting in the identification of more offenders and the safeguarding of more hundreds of children.

While we saw some incredible wins over the last year, there are still so many lives to get to.

Join the Tim Tebow Foundation Rescue Team as a Defender today, and help bring long term freedom & justice to those trafficked and exploited: https://lnkd.in/eJ4NTJ6a

When it comes to taking a risk, I think we can sometimes miss the boat. I think we can be approaching it the wrong way. At times, I think we can be hesitant to take a risk not because we don't want to figure out a challenge or accomplish a mission, but we see risk as what we may have to give up for that challenge or mission. And that can be scary.

So, what if we look at risk from a different lens? What if, instead, we ask ourselves “what's the risk in giving this up for God? What's the risk in saying, “God, I'm going to give it to you, and I'm going to go after this thing”? What’s the risk in saying, “I'm just going to go after it. God, I want to run wherever you want me to run. I want to run hard for you and for people to help“?

To me, looking through one lens it is a risk. But, when I think about it a little bit more from His perspective, then I just I want to be willing to give whatever I have up in the temporary over to God. Because that's all it is…temporary. It's here today, gone tomorrow. But what we do for God and what we do for people, that is eternal, and it will last forever. Because people last forever.

And we want to tell them about the best place they could spend forever.
