platform




Platform---"a set of principles, a place of public discussion or forum" Here is a cool video of Drew Breeze, superbowl champion and MVP talking about what it means for him to be a Christian. I love that fact that he acknowledges how much has been given to him and that he in turn wants to give back as much as he can.

Drew Breeze obviously has a big platform and I pray that people of influence, whether that is athletes, politicians, or movie stars become Christ followers in more than "status", but actually live what they say they believe. Certainly when this happens the potential is there to get your life message about God out to alot of people.

The real truth here is that everyone has a platform. You may not be a superbowl MVP, but there are people in your life that can be directly influenced by you. What are you and I doing with the "platform" God has given us? Do our words and actions bring glory to God, even when we think no one is looking? That is the mark of a true follower of God.

Don't believe the lie that your testimony isn't powerful, God gave everything because He believes in you, now live for an audience of one and you'll be surprised who else might be watching.
