Christian Devotions Speak Up!

Join us this week on Christian Devotions SPEAK UP! when former NFL quarterback Tim Hiller shares his trek to the pigskin glory land, and his ultimate trek to salvation in Christ. From the earliest days, Tim Hiller’s story has always consisted of three things: a boy, a ball, and a dream. The boy with a ball began chasing his dream by dodging imaginary defenders in his parents’ backyard and cutting out pictures from Sports Illustrated for Kids magazine. The pursuit of his dream continued through the ranks and record books of the Orrville High School and Western Michigan University football programs, where Tim re-wrote the standards in virtually every major passing category. And his dream culminated in the National Football League, where Tim spent time with four teams, primarily the Indianapolis Colts. But for the boy with a ball, football was his dream, not his definition—his passion, but not his ultimate purpose. Today, Tim Hiller uses the platform of his celebrated football career to serve others, sharing

Join us this week on Christian Devotions SPEAK UP! as Scott picks the brain of leading apologetic’s debater and founder of Creation Today Ministries, Eric Hovind. Eric Hovind grew up immersed in the world of apologetics. Following college graduation in 1999, he began full-time ministry. President and Founder of Pensacola-based organization, Creation Today, Eric’s passion to reach people with the life-changing message of the gospel has driven him to speak in five foreign countries and all fifty states. He lives in Pensacola, Florida, with his wife Tanya and three children and remains excited about the tremendous opportunity to lead an apologetics ministry in the war against evolution and humanism.  Much like a 21st-century Apostle Paul on Mars Hill, in June of 2013, Eric stood on the first monument to atheism in America to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to the atheist community. In 2011, Eric teamed up with Paul Taylor to begin The Creation Today Show. More than seventy-two episodes are broadcasting on
