“Very grateful and a lot of gratitude for that.”
Welcome has a deep meaning for Harbaugh, someone who has been very open about his Christian values.
Harbaugh used the timeless saying “Faith, Family, Football”, to describe his life. It is something that really lives, with his faith as the guide force for the two pillars that come after that.

“Those priorities, I can keep things directly in my mind if I can make sure to keep those three,” he explained. “It is the best advice I have received, it comes from the Bible:” First seek the kingdom of God, and everything else will be added to you. “
“So, that is the priority. That is the game plan, and nobody pays better interest than the Lord.”
Harbaugh is not the only athlete in the NFL who has taken advantage of his faith and, in addition, he has been very open when talking about it.

Take the second -year field marshal of the Houston Texans, CJ Stud, for example. The Harbaugh chargers lost to Stud and the Texans in the Commodines Round last month, and during their interview after the game, as many before, he thanked God for the opportunity to play the game he loves.
“First of all, every glory has to go to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,” said Stud. “I feel very without qualified, but the Lord has described me to play in this great city, this great state and I am very grateful for who I serve.”
Saquon Barkley of Philadelphia Eagles, Jayden Daniels of the Washington commanders, the Kansas City ‘Patrick Mahomes, the Kirk cousins of Atlanta Falcons and many others have also publicly took advantage of their faith, and let them know what drives them and takes them Out of the grill.
“He is inspiring,” said Harbaugh simply when asked how good it is to see the players openly discuss their faith.
In the chargers costumes, Harbaugh explained how, in all religions, his team is strong. He mentioned the bettor JK Scott as someone who really embodies the mantra of three words he lives.

“He is our betting, and is one of the best players in the game. But he is also a brother in Christ, and is the chaplain of our team, so to speak,” said Harbaugh about Scott. “We understand it daily, and just to see him be the type of person he is, Dad who is, husband that he is and teammate he is.
“Gosh, nobody has better than us in the chargers to have him and others, strong Christians like that. It is quite impressive.”
