I stumbled across these series of videos about a year ago on Youtube, and from the first to the last, I loved everything about them. The videos show different athletes, coaches, or just important people in general giving their own personal testimonies of how God came into, changed, and continues to influence their lives for the better. They knew that with these clips that they'd be able to reach out to fans, believers or non-believers and encourage them to walk with the Lord.
For me, they really challenge me to realize that no matter who you are, a big time athlete or just a normal everyday person, that you have to put God first. There are many times in our lives where we're so consumed with our jobs, school, friends, or just anything, that we put God aside and focus on our other concerns. When really, we should always put God first because when you do that, everything else will fall into place. The videos also encourage me to just testify and give my testimony to anyone willing to listen, because no matter where you're from or what your story is, there will always be someone you can connect with who wants to listen and hopefully wants to learn more about the good news.
The video I'm attaching is of Josh Hamilton, outfielder for the Texas Rangers. Out of all the videos this is the one that spoke to me the most. It just shows that no matter what you have gone through, once you put your trust in God, then you can conquer anything and everything. If you're interested in any of the other videos, just go to Youtube and type in I Am Second . They also have a website, iamsecond.com .
