Rather than delivering a traditional sermon, Tebow chatted with Pastor Champion on stage for about twenty minutes, discussing the importance of athletes being role models, and his own struggle with faith.

Tebow may have been drawn to Celebration Church by his own football background, Champion said. Champion was a star offensive lineman at Louisiana State University, and his father was a long-time NFL assistant coach.
