Ep 57 - Tim and Demi-Leigh Tebow: Finding Love, Losing your Identity and Creating a Life that Counts

The Paula Faris 'Faith & Calling' Podcast

He’s a two-time national champion, Heisman Trophy winner, first-round NFL draft pick and a former professional baseball player. She’s a South African model and beauty queen who was crowned Miss Universe 2017. While on the surface a professional sports player and a pageant queen may not have a lot in common, it turns out Tim and Demi-Leigh found they share “a whole lot in purpose.” Another thing they have in common? Navigating the high-highs of their big careers and the low-lows of identity loss when the public titles fade away. For Tim, the pain of getting cut from the NFL this past year. For Demi-Leigh, turning over her crown as Miss Universe.
This episode of “Faith & Calling” is especially for anyone finding their way through the loss of a title, the sting of rejection, or the lingering frustration of life not going as planned. Basically all of us at some point. Turn this one up, because Tim and Demi-Leigh have been there too, and their stories - both individually and together - point to the truth that God can use you right where you are with what you have.
That’s also the message behind Tim’s brand new book, “Mission Possible: Go Create a Life that Counts.” Tim breaks down the difference between what he calls our macro purpose and our micro purpose. Hear how knowing both has challenged and changed his best laid plans for the better.
Did we mention yet how adorable these two are together? Having been long-distance for most of their dating life, Tim and Demi-Leigh are experts at meaningful conversations, and this one is no different! Hear how they knew with total confidence that their first date would be each of their last first dates forever and what it was like to say “I do” just months before the world shut down. Plus, Paula finds out how they keep the conversation going and their love flowing today, amidst their very full platforms - and very full house of three dogs!
