What happens when you’ve achieved everything you ever wanted, but yet God tells you it’s not the point? Tim Tebow opens up about his journey from NFL stardom to a life devoted to serving the Most Vulnerable People. He shares how God changed his definition of success, the lessons learned from failure, and the stories of the overlooked and abandoned that transformed his heart. He speaks on how God redirected Tim’s purpose from fame to service and why humility and grace mean more than trophies or titles.
