Manage episode 439140002 series 2885787
With the first weekend of the 2024 NFL season behind us, we wanted to bring on a familiar face that could give us not only an inspirational story and testimony of faith, but also someone who has their pulse on the sporting arena and its impact on everyday life. If you’re an NFL fan you’ll know our guest well. Joining us today is James Brown or as most would call him, JB. James Brown is the current host of “The NFL Today” on CBS and "Inside The NFL" on Showtime. A three-time Emmy Award-winning network broadcaster, Brown, who was elected into the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame in August 2020, has hosted the Super Bowl a record setting ten times including Super Bowl 55 on CBS. In 2010, SI.com named Brown the Best Studio Host of the Decade. Brown is a Special Correspondent for CBS News and contributes to programs such as “60 Minutes”, “CBS This Morning”, “CBS Evening News” and “48 Hours”. He is also a founding partner of Major League Baseball’s 2019 World Series Champion Washington Nationals. Among numerous honors, Brown most recently received the 2016 Pete Rozelle Award by the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which recognizes “longtime exceptional contributions to radio and television in professional football", and “The Uncommon Award” from Tony Dungy for his “uncommon leadership through character and faith.” Brown was a 2010 honoree as one of the “Faces of Black History” celebrating Black Media Legends who have impacted the Black community through their achievements and positive examples and was honored with the Greater Washington Urban League’s Sam Lacy Award in 2005. Brown was also the first recipient of the coveted Pat Summerall Award presented annually during Super Bowl weekend. The incredible thing about this interview is that many know and are familiar with the accolades and professional career of JB, but not many are familiar with his personal testimony and the strong and devout faith He has in Christ which rests as the foundation and bedrock of his life. We hope and pray this conversation around all things faith, football, and family would excite you for this upcoming NFL season but would more importantly encourage you for the days ahead.
