Winning Coach quotes Bible at press conference

“Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh cited a passage from the Old Testament as he kicked off a post-game press conference,” reports ChristianPost.

He read aloud the Old Testament verse 1 Chronicles 29:11, which declares, “greatness, power, glory, victory and honor belong to you because everything in Heaven and on earth belongs to you.” 

“The Kingdom belongs to you, Lord, you are the head and the ruler over everything,” Harbaugh added.

After praising the “amazing spirit on this team,” the coach stressed his desire to give “honor and credit where it’s due.”

Harbaugh, a Catholic, has not shied away from sharing his faith in past post-game press conferences. 

After a Dec. 10 victory against the Los Angeles Rams, the 61-year-old explained Christmas:  “Advent comes from the Latin’ adventus,’ which means anticipation and preparation for an amazing event, which is the coming of our Savior and celebrating the Christ — the Good News that changes the world and changes it for all eternity.” 

Many players on the Ravens have a faith bolstered by team chaplain Johnny Shelton, who regularly hosts Bible studies for players, coaches and their families. The chaplain recently told the “Today” show that “we pray as a team.” 

Brock Purdy, who plays for the San Francisco 49ers, elaborated on his Christian faith in an interview that took place before his team defeated the Green Bay Packers to advance to the NFC Championship Game next Sunday against the Detroit Lions: “I know that God’s going to take care of wherever I’m at in my life, whether it’s football or not, and so I’m actually able to use that when I’m making decisions and playing football.”

C.J. Stroud, the quarterback for the Texans, the team the Ravens defeated on Saturday, has also been vocal about his faith: “I think definitely God is at the forefront of our minds, and we play for an audience of One … It’s hard. People hold you to a standard, and that’s what we want as Christians. You know we’re holding our own crosses and we’re trying to be like Christ as much as possible.”

[Dr. Chaps’ comment:  Let’s petition Congress for chaplains’ freedom to pray publicly “in Jesus’ name.”]
