NFL Quarterback Kurt Warner Demonstrates His Christian Faith by Helping the Less Fortunate

Some people accuse Christians of having lives that do not match their beliefs. Kurt Warner, who has been the starting quarterback in the Super Bowl twice for the St. Louis Rams, not only being on the winning team once, but also the Super Bowl MVP, is one Christian who many say has a life that exemplifies his beliefs.

While Kurt Warner is not ashamed of verbally sharing his faith that Jesus Christ is God's Son Who died on the cross and rose again for the sins of the world to give a home in heaven to believers, he also is not one to raise his arms to heaven after throwing a touchdown pass. Instead, he is one whose life shows his beliefs on a daily basis by the way he treats and serves others.

The former Area Football League player is best known for his stint with the St. Louis Rams from 1998-2003, where he was the NFL MVP twice, and was the Super Bowl MVP once (The Rams won one of the two times the team played under Warner). He has the third best career passer rating at 93.5%, behind only Steve Young and Peyton Manning. He has the second best career passing percentage in history at 65.1%, behind only Chad Pennington of the New York Jets. Since leaving the Rams, he has played for the New York Giants and Arizona Cardinals.

While a lot of professional athletes have been generous in providing help to others through charities, with some having their own charities, Kurt Warner has demonstrated his faith by not only doing the same thing, but also giving his time freely.

Kurt Warner gives a lot of money to charities, including his own First Things First Foundation. While he gave tickets to the Sunshine Foundation of St. Louis, when he was with the Rams, so that 20 people could attend each home game, he also treated each ticket holder to dinner on the Friday before a game. He, his wife, Barbara, and their four children ate with the 20 people before each game. Many of the recipients of the tickets were very poor. Warner also takes his guests with him to church on Sundays.
