The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast · 540. Former NFL Player on Masculinity | Tim Tebow · 21 Apr 2025 podcast

I mean, you said- No, my dad would not be someone that was soft. My dad is one of the most courageous people I've ever met in my life. If one day I could ever get to a tenth of his courage, it would be a good day.

I think his belief, his faith in Christ, and that propels him, and the confidence and the hope that it gives him.

and my mom both of them were willing to go to the mission field with four kids have one more while they're there right um go to really hard places my dad was put into jail multiple times in different countries when he would go and share and i think one of the greatest things i could say about my dad is he gave the majority of his his adult life to help people that could never do anything for him.

And my mom was there to support and handle and love so much while he's gone. And because they knew they were called to do that. What I mean courage is that my dad would go into places and they would say, hey, if you share, then we want you to know we'll kill you. And he would get up and still tell people how much God loves them.

And one time there's a guy that shows up to where my dad's preaching and he has a machete and he walks from the back to the front. And my dad just starts feeling compelled to talk about forgiveness. And by the time he gets to the front, he says, Mr. Tebow, I want to ask for your forgiveness because I was sent here to kill you. I wanted to ask if you would forgive me.

And two times in my young life overseas, I got to see my mom say to my dad, we only have a couple of dollars left. And my dad says, it's okay, give it away. And they give it away.

And both times we had neighbors that felt compelled, didn't know anything, but both times come over, knock on the door and say, hey, we don't know why, we just felt like we were compelled to bring you guys dinner tonight. And as my wife says, it's just a God wink moment. And you'll be able to see that faithfulness. So your parents were willing to live on the edge.

They were willing to live out that faith in a way that I've never had to. I never have. They've done it with such courage and conviction that it's why they're such heroes to me. It's so grateful.

It's insane how fast you become arrogant, especially as a kid.

trying to figure out what to do about that so you keep the competitive edge without becoming narcissistic that i was also a terrible teammate ah i was a terrible teammate because i thought winning was just about my performance and how good i could do for the team and i didn't realize it's also about building everyone up so it would be better as a team yeah it was the frustration wire you know

Why do some of the kids care just about finding a four-leaf clover, don't understand the rules? Why do you care about a snow cone? And my parents really did a good job. Well, to me, not everybody's competitive as you. Not everybody cares as much about the game as you. But one of the things that I would always, always, always share, to me, that doesn't mean they're any less valuable.

It doesn't mean any of them are any less. They just care about it a little less. They're not less. Right.

But their value doesn't come from how you do in a game. Your value comes from being made in the image of God and the worth and the value all humanity has. That's a hard thing to figure out when you're eight. That's right. You might be disappointed in how someone plays, but you can't be disappointed in who somebody is. There's a difference. And it's always trying to keep that in mind.

Something that's so easy for me as a competitor is, to lose sight of is the balance between those two.

No, I don't believe so.

I think because it was too much about me. And I was thinking, well, how can I go win the game versus how can I be a better teammate and believe and uplift and encourage others, even when I may be frustrated because they're not paying attention or they're doing something else. But if I really want to give our team the best chance to win, then I need to build them up, not tear them down.

I need to be able to encourage them. I need to try to put myself in their shoes. I need to try to understand. I need to find a way to actually pull us together versus just try a little bit harder.

And did you learn that? I think I learned it, but I think just when you learn something doesn't mean you do it well. And so it's constantly trying to practice that.

And grow and improve. And then still sometimes I feel like I would take steps back in it. And as I grew up and... and playing so many different sports and leagues and championships and everything that there were, I think, highs and lows that came with that.

Because then I got to play on other LMS teams when I was young and we would compete for championships, like national championships in baseball and in football and some very competitive teams in basketball as well. And so then everybody was all in, it was win at all costs type, even from a very young age.
