Tennessee Basketball players Got baptized

I am a Vol Fan, I honestly don’t keep up with basketball. But, I thought this was something to share.

Coach Rick Barnes has always expressed how important his faith is to him, and he said he was very thankful for that special moment. I am glad to see that this happened especially in a secular college where this kind of thing may cost a coach his job or players their scholarship. This is big! It shows they are not afraid to let the World and Fans know they are saved! Coach Rick Barnes said, “The players’ decision to be baptized was more important than winning any basketball game.”

Grant Williams said on Instagram, “What a day, Soccer advances to the elite 8, thanksgiving team dinner, then two of my brothers were baptized and took a step closer to the lord. This Vol family is something i cherish and we’re just getting started.”

Players Kyle Alexander and Jordan Bowden took a big step in their Christian faith as their teammates watched. Welcome my new brothers in Christ! (You all might not ever see this blog post, but, I still want to welcome you!)

Alexander posted about the special moment as well, writing

“God you’re Good.”
