Nanci and I watched the Super Bowl together every year since we met in 1969. She loves Jesus, people, dogs, and football. And I think she would enjoy the videos of a strong Christian athlete and his family I’m linking to in this blog.

(No offense intended to fans of the Kansas City Chiefs, a great team and great organization that has its own share of believers. The Purdy story is simply unique in so many ways, and I found the inside glimpses of their family to be to be rare and refreshing.)

First, though, always beware of Super Bowl halftime shows, which are sometimes immoral and not what Christian families will want themselves or their children to watch. But also, during the game, keep your eyes open for two new “He Gets Us” ads. I know the primary family that is funding these. Believing that many false perceptions of Jesus are out there that turn people away, their goal is to “reintroduce people to the Jesus of the Bible.”^[If you want to know more about these, see this article.

Now for a remarkable Christian family dimension at the center of the Super Bowl this week. 49er quarterback Brock Purdy has had a storybook beginning to his NFL career. The Rest of The Story Here
