Jerry Colangelo is the former owner of many major professional sports teams, such as the Phoenix Suns, the Phoenix Mercury, the Arizona Rattlers, and the Diamondbacks. He is a respected businessman and sports mogul. It was his confidence in himself and his faith in God that made him realize how he achieved his greatness. “There was a time and place where I felt I could handle things myself until I fell a few times and realized I couldn’t, and that’s when I was most vulnerable and I was most open and that’s when I committed my life to Christ.”

“By awesome deeds in righteousness You will answer us, O God of our salvation, You who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth and of all the far-off seas.”
Psalm 65:5 NKJV
