Dr. Ravi Zacharias
From Coach Gibbs:
“Ravi Zacharias could have helped us with almost any of the topics in the Game Plan for Life. He writes and speaks with eloquence on them all. I wanted Ravi to specifically tackle the question of Sin, however, because the idea of sin is becoming quaint and old-fashioned in these times of moral relevance. Ravi is great at taking the big truths of the Bible and making them relevant to all of us. He recently spoke to most of the race team and really encouraged our people. He is a great player on our team.”
