How the Gospel is Spreading Throughout College Football
By Movieguide® Contributor
If you’re an avid sports fan, you’ve probably heard about the incredible revival taking the Ohio State football team by storm.
Movieguide® reported:
The Ohio State Football Team is on a mission to give God all the glory.
Per Sports Spectrum, “On Sunday evening, a number of current Ohio State players held a faith event on campus, organized by former receiver Kamryn Babb and attended by both OSU students and others from around the United States. The Lantern, Ohio State’s independent student newspaper, reported that the event was made possible through a collaboration of a number of local Christian churches in the Columbus area.”
You might not know, though, that the gospel is spreading throughout other college football programs, too.
Following a game against Auburn, Arkansas players decided to join together in prayer on the field.
A video posted by Christhlete on Instagram shows three players praying.
“Beautiful to see Taylen Green, Addison Nichols and Josh Braun from Arkansas football team coming together to pray after their victory over Auburn on Saturday night,” the outlet wrote.
Christhlete also referenced the Bible verse, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, which says, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
Green is the quarterback for the Razorbacks and often shares his faith on his social media.
In a recent post, he shared several photos of him on the field and captioned them with Isaiah 43:19: “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”
Green’s goal? To be a light for Christ on and off the field.
“I try to display that every time I go out on the field…I want everybody that watches me to, you know, see that light — see Jesus in me,” he told Sports Spectrum in August. “I want to take it off the field too…you know, God created me for more than just being a football player. I know, like, that’s my ability for sure, but, you know, I just wanted to be that light in the community.”
