Steve Biondo currently serves as president of the Tim Tebow Foundation, now in its tenth year of service to vulnerable children and families all over the world. In this interview, Steve shares the importance of serving the interests of others before our own and how that value was planted in Tim Tebow’s heart at the young age of 15. We talk about how to say ‘yes’ to God immediately when He calls us to do something. This is exemplified in Tim and his father through a story about how his father purchased 4 girls in order to rescue them from being trafficked. This is a conversation that will inspire you and challenge you beyond your comfort zone.

Steve Biondo currently serves as president of the Tim Tebow Foundation, now in its tenth year of service to vulnerable children and families all over the world.
