Baltimore Ravens QB ‘Can’t Live Without God.’ He Explains Why.
By Movieguide® Contributor
The Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson can’t live without his faith.
“We can’t live without the Bible; we can’t live without God,” Jackson said in a video with GQ Sports. “You know, He’s the one who wakes me up each and every day. He’s the one who has me performing in my profession or just doing my profession, something I wanted to do all my life. You know, we pray before games and we pray together after the game whether we win, lose, draw, whatever. We still pray. We gotta give God the glory no matter what.”

“I grew up in a church. I don’t be in church a lot because, obviously, I play football on Sundays, but when I can, I’m definitely in church. Redeemer Christian Center in Fort Lauderdale Beach,” the quarterback said.
His favorite Bible verse? Mark 6:4: “Jesus said to them, ‘A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.'”
“Basically explained that a prophet is recognized outside his own home better, basically,” Jackson paraphrased. “You know, sometimes I feel like that happens in my life. I go through stuff like that. So, it’s my favorite verse.”
The athlete credits his career to God’s blessing.
“Always keep God first because, without Him, there is no Lamar Jackson. I’m gonna tell you that now,” Jackson said.
