“Someone That I Look Up To Every Single Day”– Patrick Mahomes Speaks Openly About His Faith In Jesus Ahead Of Super Bowl LIX

If it seems that the Kansas City Chiefs have God on their side... that might just be because they do. As you already know, there's plenty of discourse about Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs getting a little "extra help" during their dynastic run as of late. They've got the opportunity to win their third straight Super Bowl when they face off the Philadelphia Eagles on February 9... and many are already assuming that the Chiefs will come out victorious. That's because a lot of NFL fans think that the referees favor the Chiefs, or at the very least, it seems like Kansas City benefits from some very important calls. The noise around that has gotten so loud that the NFL refs released a statement calling the allegations "insulting." Funny thing is... no one really believed them. Why would they with Kansas City being a big money maker (especially with Taylor Swift attached), and every stat available to fans points to the Chiefs getting calls? To all those skeptical and fatigued by Kansas City's success, you might want to take a deep breath and realize that the thing that's helping out the Chiefs the most is not the refs, or the NFL being rigged... it seems to be their faith in God. During time with the media ahead of the "Big Game," Patrick Mahomes was asked about his relationship with Jesus, and he had this to say: "Jesus is my Lord and Savior. It's someone that I look up to every single day to decide what I want to do with my life, and how I want to live my life. Jesus is everything to me at the end of the day." The Kansas City quarterback added that one of his go-to portions of the Bible is Acts 20: 7-12, which tells the story of a young man falling to his death and miraculously coming back to life. That story evidently stuck with Mahomes, and he's used it to keep him grounded in his faith ever since: "It's about a boy named named Eutychus and his faith and him listening to a sermon, falling and dying, and coming back to life. It just spoke to me in that moment... in how I need to live my life and how I need to be fully invested in God."  https://twitter.com/BradHensonPro/status/1887164240412172567 And Mahomes isn't the only one on the Kansas City Chiefs who prioritizes his relationship with Jesus. The wife of Chiefs Owner Clark Hunt, Tavia, shared a post last month that stated their team has gotten where they’ve gotten and experienced success at such a high level because of their faith. Not just in each other and the team and coaches that have been assembled… Tavia Hunt is talking about faith in God: “Overwhelmed. That’s the word that comes to mind when we reflect on the lavish grace, favor, and faithfulness of God. I’ve said it before: I don’t think God cares about football, but He cares deeply about people. In 2012, we were broken – winning only two games and facing an unimaginable tragedy. It was a humbling, desperate season, and we had nowhere to turn but to God. That brokenness brought us to total dependence on the One who holds it all. We began praying 1 Chronicles 4:10 and committing the team to the Lord. Shortly after, Clark hired Andy Reid, and God brought the Reids to Kansas City at just the right time. The Chiefs hadn’t been to a Super Bowl in 50 years, and the closest we got was losing to the Bills in the AFC Championship in 1993.” She went on to directly combat claims that the Chiefs were heading to their third straight Superbowl because of "black magic" and "referee favoritism." Tavia Hunt insists that the players and everyone else in the organization putting God first has contributed immensely to Kansas City's overwhelming dynasty: "By God’s grace we’ve had success, but it’s not ‘black magic’ or referee favoritism (look at the stats on this) – it’s lots of hard work, belief, and purpose. Patrick Mahomes leads with humility and puts God first. Marcellus Casey, our team chaplain, pours into players and their families through weekly Bible studies and prayer. Many of our players – Drew Tranquil, Harrison Butker, Chris Jones, Nick Bolton, Trey Smith and more – openly share their faith, lifting each other up on and off the field. Times are uncertain, but one thing remains true: Jesus saves, and we all need more of Him. In this historic moment, let’s not miss the person who changed history and gained the ultimate victory – the one Jesus won for us on the cross. Thanks be to God for all that He’s done and continues to do. To God be the glory!” https://www.instagram.com/p/DFWi5i6tcDa/?img_index=1 So I guess I'm taking Chiefs money line?
