Tim Tebow Encourages Millennials to Find Their Identity in Christ in Age of Social Media: Reveals Inspiration Behind "Night to Shine"

"I knew at that moment leaving that village after praying with that young boy to put his faith in Jesus, that what I was called to do for the rest of my life was to fight for people that can't fight for themselves." -Tim Tebow

"Young people are getting pulled in so many directions, and they're trying to figure out, 'What is success? What is meaning? What do I do? What's my calling?' All of these questions," Tebow told the Gospel Herald in an exclusive interview." And so many times fear, doubt, and the unknown can creep in and it can ask all these questions."

But to run the race of life in a God-glorifying way, young people need to have a proper understanding of identity, success, and significance, Tebow explained.

It's going to tell you it's about how many likes you get when you post something. And I'm going to tell you that that truly doesn't matter," he said. "What matters is that there's a God that desperately loves you and He wants to know you and there is a purpose and a reason for you being here."

He referenced Ephesians 2:10, which states: "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

"You are His poem. You're His masterpiece. He loves you and He has a great plan for your life," Tebow emphasized. "You matter. Before you were ever born, He wrote that poem about your life for good works for you to accomplish.

...The 31-year-old athlete, who recently hosted his foundation's annual "Night to Shine" program celebrating people with special needs, told GH that one way he strives to find significance in life is by helping those in need.

He shared how, when he was 15 years old, he met a young boy from the Philippines who was born with a congenital knee deformity... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
