#52 Ray Lewis



Three years ago, I'd never even heard of Ray Lewis. But I've been hearing about the Baltimore Ravens' linebacker a lot lately.

"So why do some people in this town hate Ray Lewis?
-“The chest-thumping Christianity aspect of his personality.”


35-year old Lewis, a native of Bartow Florida, isn't ashamed of being a Christian. And he's not scared of sharing his faith with others either.

Ray Lewis, the future hall of fame Middle Linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens, has earned a lot of respect around our wonderful city. When fans see the number 52 anywhere, whether it be on a license plate or on a lottery ticket, they immediately link it to the number that Ray wears when he is smashing Halfbacks into the turf. (Speaking of which, enjoy this video where Ray makes one of the best plays in Ravens history.)




Not just in Baltimore, but across the US, Ray is synonymous with terms like "champion", or "play maker". However, did you know that you can also think of the term "Christian" when you think of Ray?

The Fellowship of Christian Athletes radio show, Sharing the Victory, had a chance to sit down with Ray Lewis and talk to him about his Christian faith.

"To get to God, you gotta go through things. Don't look at my yesterday, look at my tomorrow," explained Ray during the interview. "I've said it before, God never changes. The relationship was there all along."

Psalm 91 is a personal favorite scripture reference for Ray, who states that God is everything.
