What It REALLY Means To Surrender to God 😳
The speaker reflects on Tim Tebow's faith-driven charitable work as an example of full surrender to God's will. They discuss the concept of prioritizing God's purpose over personal financial gain, and use a humorous analogy about 'being known by your fruits' to illustrate authentic versus hypocritical faith.
Summary
The speaker opens by expressing admiration for Tim Tebow, noting they came to know him not through sports but through his kingdom-focused ministry work. Tebow is cited as an example of someone actively going to places of 'crisis, chaos, and conflict' to bring light, suggesting a life of genuine service.
The speaker then reflects personally, describing moments of sitting at home by their pool or on the beach and feeling convicted when thinking about how actively Tebow is working through charities and multiple initiatives. This contrast is used to introduce the concept of 'full surrender' to God — the idea of submitting one's will and saying 'thy will be done' rather than chasing personal financial goals like making another million dollars.
The speaker recounts conversations with Hulk Hogan, who apparently asked them to explain the biblical concept of 'you will know them by their fruits.' The speaker uses a comedic and blunt hypothetical scenario — claiming to be the world's biggest believer while simultaneously being found at a strip club doing drugs — to illustrate that one's actions and lifestyle ultimately reveal the authenticity of their faith, regardless of what they claim verbally.
