After accepting the AFC Championship trophy on Sunday, the CEO and chairman of the Kansas City Chiefs took a moment to give God the glory.
“I want to thank the Lord for blessing us with the opportunity,” said CEO Clark Hunt on national TV. “The glory belongs to Him.”
Hunt also thanked players, coaches, and fans who all played an integral role in the win that landed them a spot in the Super Bowl.
The God-centric moment was not an isolated incident for Hunt, who inherited the Chiefs along with his siblings after his dad, Lamar Hunt, died in 2006. Hunt became a Christian when he was just 10 years old. He has been quite open about his faith in Christ throughout the duration of his tenure, even as the Chiefs have risen to become one of the most dominant teams in the NFL.
“We want our employees to develop spiritually,” he said last year at a men’s luncheon in Texas. “In the National Football League, Christ is really glorified. My identity is my faith in Christ.”
