Along with success comes
the inevitable media
coverage. Cameras and
microphones have been in
Kurt's face more in
recent weeks than ever
before. But what do you
say with all the new
attention? Some
professional athletes
use the publicity for
self-glory or to talk
about all the money that
they're making. But Kurt
Warner has a different
topic on his mind to
speak of. It's the
message of Jesus Christ.
Kurt is a professing
Christian who jumps at
the chance to give God
the credit for his
ability to play
football. He was
proclaiming the Good
News in his first words
after victory in the
Super Bowl, shouting,
"Thank you, JESUS!!!"
It's a refreshing thing
to hear a pro player
speak the name of Christ
instead of his own.
"Looking at the big
picture, I know my role
in this is to help share
my faith, and to share
my relationship with the
Lord in this capacity.
The funny thing is my
wife, when I tell her
about some interviews
that I've done, she's
always asking me, 'Don't
talk about the Lord in
every answer that you
give.' I come back and
tell her, 'Hey, they try
to cut out as much of
those (religious
comments) as they can.
So if I don't give it in
every answer, then it's
never going to be there,
because they're not
going to use those
quotes.'"
Kurt Warner says his
faith, as well as the
hardships and tragedies
his family has faced,
has helped him
understand what truly is
important in life. "I
think it grounds me,"
Warner said. "Whether
I'm on the field or off
the field, I don't get
anxious. I don't get
nervous… Because I know
that things are going to
work out for me… I've
learned that along the
way there's going to be
speed bumps. That it's
not just going to be a
smooth path. And I've
learned how to react to
those situations."
Kurt Warner is an
inspiration to all
athletes at all levels
of competition. He sets
an example for those
athletes who know Christ
as their personal Savior
to not hide it from
others but to shout it
from the roof tops, or
on television. If you
ever get a chance to see
him doing a post game
interview you will more
than likely hear him
giving God all the
glory.
