Kansas City Chiefs Owner’s Daughter Shares Verses Before Games
Movieguide® Contributor
Before each Chiefs game this season, Gracie Hunt, daughter of the team’s owner, Clark Hunt, has shared a Bible verse given by the team’s chaplain.
“Hunt, 25, is the oldest of three children and was crowned Miss Kansas U.S.A. in 2021, 28 years after her mother, Tavia Shackles, won the same title,” Church Leaders reported. “The former pageant queen made headlines earlier this year when she and her mother defended the role of motherhood following a controversial commencement speech by Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker at Benedictine College.”
“I really respect Harrison and his Christian faith and what he’s accomplished on and off the field,” Hunt said in May. “I can only speak from my own experience, which is I’ve had the most incredible mom who had the ability to stay home and be with us as kids growing up.”
Last Sunday, Hunt shared Psalm 131:1-2 before the game against the San Diego Chargers.
“Lord, my heart is not proud,” she read. “My eyes are not arrogant. I do not get involved with things too great or too wondrous for me. Instead, I calmly quieted my soul like a content child. And with his mother, my soul is like a content child.”
“We find contentment in all circumstances and all things, knowing who holds our lives and who has changed our paths, because, of course, in all we do, that’s Jesus,” she said.
She told her viewers that humbleness and humility are the keys to good leadership and a loving spirit.
She said they should “walk in the ability to have a humble, servant-leader attitude in all that we do because humility is how we lead and love best.”

Last month, she shared Psalm 125:6.
She told followers “When you’re going through a storm, there’s something that God is teaching us in the storm that we couldn’t be taught on the shore.”
NFL player Tim Tebow also shared verse before his football games but in a different way. For wrote verses on his eye black under his eyes. In college, he even had Philippians 4:13 written on his face for every game for an entire season.
He shared previously:
When I was at the university of Florida, going into my junior year, we were getting ready to play a rival. And I was in the training room and I was getting stretched by one of our trainers. And I looked over and I saw some of my teammates putting eye blacks under their eyes.
And so I started to think – you know, they’re, like putting their mom’s name or their area code and different things like that. I started to think, you know, “I wonder if I could put an eye black and put, grab a silver sharpie and and put something on there that could be encouraging or inspiring or – I don’t know – uplift somebody.”
I started to think, “Well, what should I put?” I started to think, “Well, God bless?” And I was like, “Ah, I don’t know.” And then I thought of Philippians 4:13. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” I was like, “That’s an awesome verse for a football player. That’s what I’m going to go with.”
