Print Body: 

Tony Dungy led the Indianapolis Colts to a win in Super Bowl XLI. He realizes that his faith plays an important role in how he coaches and lives life. When asked how he approaches sharing his faith with players and coaches he said: “You can’t go overboard with it because you have to be the head coach for all 58 guys on the team. “But you have to let them know that this is where I stand... This is how I feel about moral integrity... this is how I feel about Christ. Now, if you’re interested, because of what you see in my life, I’m available.”

Verse: 

“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.”

1 Peter 3:15, NIV

Action Point: 

Think of the name of a Pre-Christian friend. Look for an opportunity this week to take that person one step closer to the cross.
