Super Bowl 우승팀 감독의 간증
“세상을 목적으로 살지 마십시오. Super Bowl Championship, 우승반지, 명예, 재산도 그리스도가 없으면 아무것도 아닙니다. 우리는 세상적인 성공을 위해 부름받은 것이 아니라 신실하게 살도록 부름받았습니다.” 2007년도 Super Bowl에서 우승한 인디애나폴리스 콜츠 팀 감독 토니 던지가 롬바르디 트로피를 받은 후에 한 말입니다.
그는 Footbowl 선수였고 현재 Footbowl 감독으로 일하지만 Footbowl은 Footbowl일 뿐이라고 말합니다. Footbowl이 자신에게 준 명예와 물질보다 위대하신 하나님이 그에게 훨씬 더 우선순위에 있기 때문입니다. 그는 흑인 최초로 Super Bowl 우승팀 감독이 되었지만 Super Bowl에서 뿐만 아니라 그의 삶의 전 영역에서 진정한 믿음의 사람으로서 영향력을 미치며 롤 모델로 살아가고 있습니다. 그는 자신의 성공비결을 하나님을 최우선에 두는 신앙’이라고 단호하게 말합니다.
