Ep.76 - Tim Tebow: The Cross Changes Everything

On this episode of Rich, Young & Powerful, Tim Tebow joins Andrew McNair for a conversation that goes far beyond sports. It’s about stewardship. Calling. Compassion.
And why the cross must never become familiar. Tim shares the story behind his new book If the Tree Could Speak—a powerful gift book that retells the crucifixion through the eyes of the tree that became the cross. Together, Andrew and Tim unpack what it means to stay tender to Calvary, to fight comparison with gratitude, and to use success for something that lasts. This conversation will challenge you—and re-center what truly matters. Because the greatest ROI isn’t return on investment. It’s return on impact.

Highlights:

• Why Tim wrote If the Tree Could Speak—and what he hopes it awakens in believers
• “The cross used to be a symbol of shame… now it’s a symbol of hope”
• Where Tim’s gratefulness comes from and why comparison steals joy
• What stewardship really means (it’s more than finances)
• Return on investment vs. return on impact
• The calling moment that launched the Tim Tebow Foundation
• Why comfort and compassion can’t coexist
• Human trafficking vs. exploitation and why clarity matters
• The unseen role of givers and prayer warriors as the “backbone” of ministry
