Tim Tebow Encourages Fans to Impact Others: ‘Never Underestimate Your Influence’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Tim Tebow encouraged his fans on social media to make a positive impact on the community around them.
“Never underestimate your influence. No platform or place is too small to inspire change – it’s the passion and purpose behind it that matters,” Tebow wrote. “Whatever position you’re in right now, take hold of the opportunities before you and make them count!”
Tebow has been following this approach for a long time, which has prepared him to make an incredible impact now that he has a platform that reaches millions of people. During his football days, he prioritized helping others, especially when he felt like he was focusing too much on himself.
“I think one of the biggest ways to get out of a slump, out of a pity party, is to get out of your comfort zone and help someone else,” Tebow said. “When you go serve, it changes so much in such a way that it’s almost hard to even put into words. So much of what we do in our lives is about us. And when we finally change the focus and the narrative of not putting us first, but actually serving, there’s something that drastically changes.”
Tebow has committed to this lifestyle for many years, equipping him to run a non-profit that makes an incredible impact on multiple communities. His most recent project has been fighting human trafficking in America and around the world.
In March, he testified before Congress, urging them to create and fund a task force to combat this evil on a large scale. Leading up to his testimony, Tebow’s foundation had been working for over a decade to save and protect victims of human trafficking.

“I’m fortunate and humbled to be the chairman and the founder of the Tim Tebow Foundation, and we exist to bring faith, hope and love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need,” Tebow began his remarks. “To sum it up, we strive to fight for people that can’t fight for themselves. Why we’re here today is to talk about the MVP…the most vulnerable people. That’s why we’re here today.”
