Sean 0:04
Tim Tebow, welcome to the show, man. Thank you so much. Thank you for having me. And I also want to say thank you so much for your service.
Tim Tebow 0:11
Oh, thank you for saying that. I genuinely really mean it. I know sometimes those that have served here at different places could take it as, oh, it's just a catchphrase we're supposed to say. I hope you know how much it means to me and so many people. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, we're grateful.

Like I said, it's an honor. But... But yeah, so I want to do a life story on you, and then with the focus being towards the end, with everything that you have going on right now at the Tim Tebow Foundation, and all the good stuff that you're pumping into the world. It's just, it's amazing, man. I mean, my parents volunteer for the organization. They do the prom. Night to Shine? Come on, I love it.
Shawn Ryan 1:16
They've done it for a couple years now. Let's go. Where at? down in uh down in florida awesome on the west coast tell them thank you so much i will i will they're ecstatic i love it but uh everybody starts off with an intro here so here we go Tim Tebow, born to missionary parents in the Philippines. Your faith has identified you since childhood. Two-time national champion football player and Heisman Trophy winner is a quarterback at the University of Florida. John 316 on your eye black led to over 93 million Google searches for the verse during your second BCS championship game and 91 million searches after your NFL playoff victory. What does that verse mean to you?

What does John 3:16 mean to Tim Tebow?

Tim Tebow 2:04
Wow, we're getting deep from the start. I like it. That verse means to me, it's if you were going to sum up the love of the gospel, which I really believe when we talk about the gospel, that it is the greatest love story rescue mission of all time, is that there's a God that loves us so much that He sent His Son to put on flesh to live a life we couldn't live, but choose to die a death that we deserve to die. as a ransom for us, as the propitiation, meaning the payment that satisfies. And that payment was His life. And when we look at John 3, 16, for God so loved the world, He gave. because He loved us so much with this love that, honestly, it's hard to even fathom. But when we talk about that love, in the Greek, they have four types of love. But the most admirable form of love, that love, is agape love.
Tim Tebow 3:07
And the best definition of agape love is to choose the best interests of another person and act on their behalf. And Jesus chose our best interests. And He acted on our behalf. And He went to the cross. not just for us, but instead of us. And he loved us so much that he gave his one and only son that whosoever would believe in him would not perish, but have everlasting life. Man, I know we put it on bumper stickers and eye blacks and on signs and games and everything, but we can't lose the essence in the heart of what that means, that there's a God that created all of this and spoke it into existence like this. And yet that God, with all knowledge and all power, would say, I love you so much.
Tim Tebow 4:00
that I'm going to give what's so precious for me and my son, and I'm going to give him in exchange for you because I love you that much. So when you think about John 3.16, there's no greater love.
Sean 4:17
That's beautiful.
Shawn Ryan 4:19
