I know I've been convicted about so many times because I've seen God at work and I've seen God do incredible things. And it's so easy for me to lose sight of that and to veer off of the path and off of the track. And then I see so many other lives that haven't had the same parents like me and haven't been able to see that. And yet I see their faith and it's so strong. I think, man, you know,
God's had to remind me so many times because my faith has been so weak. My trust has been so weak, and I've seen it. And then I see so many lives that have come through such harder situations, and their faith is so strong, and it's something that's so convicting to me.
with my actions, with my words, with my thoughts. Make a long story short, there's many times when I first got a platform that God had given me. So I shouldn't even say my platform, the platform God's let me steward for a little bit. People would say, hey, Timmy, I want you to know you're our son's role model. You're our daughter's role model.
I would start to think, no, not if you knew me on my worst day, I wouldn't be their role model. Not if you knew my worst thoughts, my worst words, my worst actions. But God had to work in me with that because, Actually, it's just with a band yesterday called Casting Crowns. And they're a Christian band. It's been around for a long time. And they had a song.
They still have the song called Voice of Truth. And it'll say, the voice of truth tells me a different story. The voice of truth says, do not be afraid. The voice of truth says, this is for my glory. Out of all the voices calling out to me, I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth.
And there are so many times that I would hear the voice of shame and guilt and doubt, and you're not enough, and you have this platform. But if they really knew your worst actions, your worst thoughts, your worst days, your worst moments,
and the feeling of you're not enough, you're not equipped, all of this, and I would have to listen to that song and get in God's word because he would remind me, no, that's the voice of the enemy, but what does God say? You see, the enemy calls you by your sin, God calls you by your name. The enemy calls you a mistake, God calls you a masterpiece.
The enemy says that you should be afraid, and God says, I didn't give you a spirit of fear. The enemy says you're alone, but God says, I will never leave you and forsake you. And so that's why it's so important to have a renewing of your mind in God's word, in scripture, in prayer, and with other people around you.
Because when we get isolated, when we get alone, all of those voices from the enemy start to leak in, and they start to creep, and they start to say, and they start to point out all of those flaws. But then you have to get back to scripture because God's saying, no, no, no, no, no. You're missing the mark because you're missing the point.
Yes, you have scars and you have flaws, but you're not defined by your scars. You're defined by mine. That's the gospel. That's the cross. We couldn't do anything about it, but yet his scars are what define us now as believers. That's what we're defined as.
And so when we're going through this journey and we start to look at all of our flaws and all of this, it's like, wait a second, but God still used flawed, fallen people. When we look at scripture, that's who he uses. And it just, I'm so grateful because then I'm like, oh yes, it's encouraging because I'm not disqualified.
But it's so important that those voices aren't the voices that lead us, that we would have a renewing of our mind in scripture with the promise of the gospel, the hope of the gospel, that we would be able to live in that of what God has done. And yes, I'm a screw up, but he's not. And he's the savior. And now I'm a child of God. I'm a son of the king, the king of the world, who will forever reign.
That's my identity now. And one of the things that I sometimes love to challenge, especially young people, is, hey, when you pull out your ID and you look at it, my ID would say Timothy Richard Tebow, Jacksonville, Florida. It would have my birth date, and it would have all of these things on it. But my spiritual ID, that's not what it says.
It says, son of the king, king of the world who will forever reign. And guess what? On my spiritual ID, there's no expiration date. And it doesn't say, my spiritual ID doesn't say Florida. It says heaven. Because we're citizens of heaven because of what Jesus has done. And we have to remember that. Because when we fall, we have pride and ego and mistakes and selfishness and all of this.
Then it's so important to, yes, to adjust and change course. But then also remember, that's not what defines me. That's not my identity. That is no longer who I am or whose I am. Mm-hmm.
Well, the special thing about the Philippines is they were so receptive to the gospel. They're so hungry for it. But I think the first answer to that would be, for my parents, it would be, it's where God called you. just where did God called you? And you say yes to that. And it doesn't always have to be a logical thing. It's a spiritual thing. Did God called you to go there?
And one of the things that my dad would always tell me, and I'm so grateful for it, he would say, Timmy, if If you just want to go because you have compassion, which is a great thing, or you have empathy, which is a really good thing, or you have a heart for the people, that's very special. But if you go and you're going to get knocked down, you're going to get a bloody nose.
You'd say, but if you get a bloody nose and you don't know you're called there, then you will start looking for every reason to go back. And you'll start trying to find out all the logical reasons. Well, we need to go do this. But if God calls you and you get a bloody nose, because you will, you know this is still exactly where I'm supposed to be.
And that was what I also got to see in my parents was knowing this is where God wanted them. And the assurance and the confidence you can live in when you really believe you are standing in part of the reason why God created you was for this moment, for this place, was for these people to stand and to be able to share and love this. This is where God has called you.
And so I think that would be a... part of the first answer to that question. And then it's now, how strategically can we love, and we share, and can we do all of that? And that was a process my parents went through of figuring that out. And they did it in so many different ways, whether that was in basketball games, because people love basketball there, and they'd come to the games.
