Star Athlete Clint Gresham Shares Testimony

Football player Clint Gresham shares his testimony of finding and knowing God. Most people know Clint as a NFL long snapper. He started his professional career in 2010, but sports have always been a huge part of Clint’s life.

Growing up, he describes the struggles that he had with mental health and anxiety. And while this athlete believed in God, he wasn’t quite sure if God believed in him. “I had grown up knowing about God. I believed that God loved me, I wasn’t sure if God liked me. I thought that it was based on my performance and how good I was doing that day.”

Clint goes on to share in his I Am Second testimony that he felt weak due to his mental struggles, but sports made him feel strong. That was an addicting feeling that he felt compelled to chase. But even winning The Super Bowl didn’t give Clint the freeing feeling that he thought would come. He still felt weighted down by his inner struggle, but afraid to tell others for fear of their judgments.

“You would never tell somebody that has cancer, ‘If you were just a little stronger, you wouldn’t be having this disease.’ But we kind of do that with people battling addiction or mental health problems,” Clint remarked. That’s when this football star truly handed it over to God and he experienced a full turnaround. God loves us inside and out. He is always there to help us through the good times and the bad. He can guide us through our struggles and take us to new light. No matter your battles, let this testimony be a reminder that God is the constant that will always take us home.
