Ohio State Players Respond To National Championship Win By Giving Glory To Jesus
Riley Leonard was right about his victorious opponents; they are godly men. Many chose to use their platform to share who the true victor is from the very beginning of this year’s football season when they wore “Jesus Won” shirts to fall camp and continued to give Jesus the glory all the way to the National Championship post-game interviews. Sports Spectrum, a Christian-based sports news outlet, shared the montage below of players giving thanks to God.
Join us in praying that the millions of people who heard these young men share about Jesus will be inspired in their own faith and that these athletes will continue to use the platform God has given them to bring Him the glory.
