John Kitna
National Football League

Quarterback

Cincinnati, Seattle

Central Washington


(In college) on the outside everything looked good. I was the starting quarterback. I had a good girlfriend. But on the inside, there was something missing.

I was 19 or 20 and my brother, who is five years younger than me, looked up to me. He was doing the things I was doing. Not only was I destroying my life, but I was destroying his life.

I had this unbelievable burden. That was in October of 1993, and it's been amazing ever since. As soon as I prayed (and asked Jesus into my life), all that guilt and burden was lifted off of me. Everything changed in my life.

My life isn't good because I'm a football player. I'm a football player because my life is good. Jesus Christ has made my life good. His grace and His forgiveness have changed me.

There's no way I would have gotten to the NFL without becoming a Christian. I was on the road to destruction. A lot of people want to hear how hard I've worked. That's part of it. But without God's provisions, the road I've traveled doesn't happen. I laugh at people wanting to give me credit.

Is there something missing in your life? Like John Kitna knows, everything can change for you too. To find out how you can have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ click here.
