Joe Gibbs Coach and Evangelist

Joe Jackson Gibbs is a former professional football coach, a race car team owner and a born again Christian.

A few years ago he took his sons out to dinner and told them - Don’t do what I did.

He found fame as the Washington Redskins coach but at a cost.

He became a Christian at a young age. I made the decision when I was 9 but I spent a part of my lift drifting, you know. I was on God’s team but I wasn’t playing for him.

He says he has found comfort amid the turmoil in a renewal of his faith. He and his wife are baptists but they have graduated towards '*Bible believing Churches.

I have put together 5 pieces of information.
The first piece from wikipedia looks at his success as a player and coach.

The second piece is from Ambassadors for Christ which looks at his whole life up until he retired fro the first time in 1993 . (the book was published 1994)

The third piece is from the Washington Post *Redskins ’ Gibbs Keeps the Faith * written by David Cho.

David writes about Joe as an evangelist and being the coach to the Redskins. Gibbs barely acknowledging his own celebrity, jumped right into the message and urged the masses to give their lives to God
He did not preach to his players. * I have my belief, and I am not forcing it on anyone else. That’s the key point when it comes to faith, it’s up to the individual. *
The fourth piece is from a CNN belief Blog in 2020 where he explains why he shares his testimony. A testimony which includes his private trials so others can understand his belief that even winners lose when they lose their way.

The fifth and last piece is from his book *Racing to Win *

Joe has written down his 5 components to winning in life.

Joe the winning coach is still out there winning lives for Christ.
