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

So that specifically, you know, in this Proverbs, because my dad didn't want us to be lazy. Yeah. Go to the aunt of sluggards.

Yeah.

For ways to be wise. And then you get to closer to the end of the chapter and you're saying, man, these are the things that the Lord hates. And so there was such a plan, my parents, in putting these thoughts in our head so that you would meditate on them, even though we didn't want to. But eventually when it's in your head and it's in your heart, God can bring it to your memory.

So it had some utility right away. Absolutely. Absolutely. You know, if I treat someone a certain way that is wrong or mean or unkind, you know, that is, it's bad. I missed the mark on it. Like you don't like kids know the difference between right and wrong in a lot of ways that we have to sometimes feel like we teach them, but they know that, you know, that bullying is, is wrong.

Like at a very young age, you know that. You know being mean, you know pushing someone is wrong. But then there's other things that constantly work through or think about, or in meditation, you would think it would one day click. But that was one of my parents' hopes is that there would be the scripture put in your head and put in your heart, whether you wanted to or not, it was irrelevant.

You were gonna memorize it if you wanted to play on the weekend.

We would have to memorize before most games for a long time. And sometimes we did not always like it. We did not always want to. But it really made an impact to where now I'll be reading and I'll be like, oh, I remember that. I remember I had to memorize that. I'm so grateful to my parents. So, so like beyond grateful because I'm like, sometimes those... different scripture will pop in my heart.

I would be playing a game and let another praise you and not your own mouth, a stranger and not your lips. Oh my gosh. And there would be so- That's a good one. Yeah, it's a good one. And there would be so much of scripture that would pop in my head and my heart, not as... less so after wins, even more so after losses.

And so many times I would also hear my mom's voice in my head, because my mom would also put scripture to tune and sing to us as we'd go to sleep.

My mom would always say, what's put in tune is remembered long or something.

It's a tool. It's a tool in that moment. And it's a truth in that moment that I can rely on. I get to remember my worth wasn't dependent on this game. My value is not dependent on this game. That in the highs, when everybody is saying, oh, congratulations, Timmy, that doesn't change my worth. But in the lows, when everybody is saying, Tebow, you suck, it also doesn't change my worth.

Like my identity. So your eyes are set on something above the game. Trying, trying. Trying to, trying to. Which is very hard. I remember at the University of Florida, it started out, we were doing really well my freshman year. I was getting to play, we were being successful. And one of my favorite parts was the gator walk.

You would drive the bus up there and you'd get out and you'd walk and there'd be thousands of fans cheering for you. And as you'd walk through, it's awesome way to get ready for a game.

All these people are going crazy as you walk into the stadium. But one of the things that started to happen to me was I would have all of these thoughts. I would even say like voices, like walking in, I would hear, I'd see people wearing my jersey And I would have these thoughts of arrogance, like, man, like you are somebody now. Yeah, right.

And then you keep walking and a mom or dad would say, hey, Timmy, just want you to know you're our son's role model. Right. Or you're our daughter's role model. And then I would have these other voices, these other thoughts. and really a shame of no, not if you knew me on my worst day, I wouldn't be their role model.

Not if you knew my worst words, my worst actions, my worst thoughts, I wouldn't be their role model.

That's right.

And how much you've missed the mark. And then you'd have thoughts of other teams and anger and pride. And then there always be near the end, always the cameras as you'd walk into a stadium, right? And even though they're not supposed to be there and they'd ask you these macro questions. Are you ready for the day? Are you ready for the world?

Whatever, you know, these big... And you would think, man, in the next three hours, I'm gonna be viewed and evaluated by most of the country. And it'll either be way too many people praising me for something I don't deserve or a whole lot of criticism. And you would have feeling like I'm not enough. I'm not prepared for that. I don't want to handle nor do I like that. And...

I started with the old iPod thing back in the day. And I started putting on a song every time I'd get off the bus by a group called Casting Crowns. It's a song called The Voice of Truth. And as I would get ready to walk through the Gator Walk, I would hit play on The Voice of Truth. And it would say to the extent of the voice of truth tells me a different story.
