Football Sunday 2021: Unshaken
2021
The pandemic hit us all in surprising and life-changing ways. Certainly, pastors and spiritual leaders were not exempt. They were forced to make hard and immediate changes in the ways they do ministry.

There’s never been a better time for a media resource such as Football Sunday.
This year’s sermon-replacement video marks our seventh season. Football Sunday has already been viewed by more than 5 million people, with thousands committing their lives to Christ after watching the stories and testimonies of NFL players. The potential impact for Football Sunday 2021 may be the greatest yet.
Not only can the Football Sunday resources be transformational in the lives of those who watch the film in a church or at a ministry location, but they can also reach those who engage online.
This year’s film features the powerful, faith-filled stories of NFL players Brandin Cooks, Carson Wentz and Sam Acho — whose stories we expand on in the pages that follow. Players actually playing in the Super Bowl will share their stories in the video as well. And it’s hosted by Hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy and retired 15-year NFL tight end Benjamin Watson — undoubtedly two of the leading voices on topics of football and faith.
The theme of this year’s event is “Unshaken.” It’s inspired by Psalm 16:8, which says, “I have set the Lord continually before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.” It’s a verse we can all cling to in such an uncertain time as this.
Furthermore, a portion of the purchase price will go toward a movement of Christ-followers who are confronting the issue of racial justice.
If you’re connected to a church taking part in Football Sunday, thank you. If you’re reading this because you’re a regular subscriber to Sports Spectrum Magazine, would you encourage your local church or ministry to participate this year or in the future? It’s a practical and encouraging way to re-engage our church families. All the details can be found at www.footballsunday.com.
We don’t know what the future holds, but God called us to follow Him. It’s long past time for a Christian revival in this country, and we believe Football Sunday can impact our country in ways we can’t even imagine.
