While the NFL may have kicked off the 2017 regular season in political turmoil and weekly kneeling headcounts, we’re seeing a different movement evolve on this back end, and it’s putting Jesus front and center.
Earlier this week, Faithit shared a story about how the Faith of the Philadelphia Eagles is inspiring millions. But Carson Wentz isn’t the only NFL player to be spearheading a faith movement.
Washington Redskins star cornerback, Josh Norman, took out a full-page ad in a South Carolina newspaper last week because he felt like God told him to.

The Greenwood, South Carolina, native placed an ad asking for all of the local churches in his hometown to send him a letter stating “the concerns of the church and the needs of the youth.”
Norman says that the stewardship and service of the county’s churches have not gone unnoticed, and he felt strongly that the Lord has called him to bless them.
“This season, God has laid it on my heart as a servant of the crown to reach out and touch every church in Greenwood, S.C., with my tithes and offering of love and peace. It is my wish that everyone in your place of worship be touched by this blessing that I’ve been blessed by and now giving unto you.”
