NFL Quarterback Joshua Dobbs opened up recently about his Christian faith. “I truly learned what it meant to be a Christian, what it meant to have my faith as a priority when I got to college,” he said. “If church is going to be a priority, if faith is a priority, I have to make it a priority. I have to go get involved in a church. I have to go be present, be willing, be involved.”
Dobbs was thrust into the Minnesota Vikings’ starting position after Kirk Cousins tore his Achilles tendon, and he immediately became the first player in NFL history to amass 400 passing yards, 100 rushing yards, and no interceptions in his first two games with a team, according to ESPN. Dobbs said in an interview that no matter what happens with football, his focus will remain on God.
“The day will come that I won’t be a part of any football team,” he said. “But the decision I made during my sophomore year in high school — to be a part of Team Jesus — I’ll be a part of that team for the rest of my life, and for all eternity.”
It’s incredible to see young athletes who use their gifts to glorify God and their platforms to share the love of Jesus Christ!
