Former NFL star Tim Tebow warned that “evil is real” in the wake of a shooting at a college campus in Utah that left conservative influencer Charlie Kirk dead on Wednesday.
Tebow was among the voices in the sports world who made posts on social media remember Kirk.
“Evil is real. There is no doubt, the enemy is hard at work,” Tebow wrote on X. “These last few days, the weight of evil has been heavy across our nation. But this I know: It will not have the final word. One day, God will make all things right.
“Until then, we pray. We weep with those who weep. And we keep fighting, knowing the victory has already been won.”
The Heisman Trophy winner and college football national champion added that he was praying for Kirk’s family in the wake of the shooting.
“I’m shocked and devastated to learn about the passing of Charlie Kirk. Above all else, Charlie was a follower of Jesus, a husband, and a dad. He was a man of passion, courage, and devotion to making an eternal impact.
