Tim Tebow is not scared to reveal his faith and love for God to the entire world. Jake Plummer does not necessarily dislike that Tim Tebow is a Christian, but he does get annoyed by how much Tim Tebow talks about God.

Closing Prayer
Lord God, we thank You and praise You for the gift of Your Son and for the many blessings you give us each and every day. We pray that we would fall in love with You and that our love for You would be shown not only through our words, but through our actions as well. We pray that You will bless all of those who struggle sharing their faith with others. We pray for all of those that are persecuted because of their faith. We ask all of this in Your name. Amen.
