We know that as a Christian athlete, people are watching, and so we want to be the best example we can be and show that we are different - that Christ has changed our lives.

Contrary to popular belief, there are actually quite a few guys in the action sports community that have faith and are Christians.

I do Athlete Devotion throughout all my fight camps. I am a Christian, so I fight with God first, and I have my devotions with me everywhere I go.

I used to pray that God would make me a great athlete, and He never did.

Christianity affects your whole life. I feel I'm more competitive, a better player, but off the field is where there is always a battle.

I mean, as an athlete, as a competitor, you have to have that belief in yourself.

I'm not an athlete, I'm a baseball player.

So much of football relates to Christian life - sacrifice, commitment, discipline.

Just kidding, I've been very athletic all my life.

Just as an athlete with natural gifts may fail to develop the fundamental skills necessary to play their sport after their talent fades, so people naturally disposed to faith may fail to develop the skills necessary to sustain them for a lifetime.
