Joe Jackson grew up during the turbulent days of the Jim Crow laws and overcame a difficult upbringing as the result of making poor choices that negatively shaped his identity and squelched his dreams. All that changed, however, at 18 when Joe gave his life to Christ and shortly after was drafted in the NFL. Today, he’s an evangelist and the president of Joe Jackson Ministries. Joe reminds everyone that the answer to every societal ill and personal challenge is to find yourself rooted in Jesus Christ. Joe equips many athletes through the Athletes International Ministries, which is aimed at reaching professional and collegiate athletes and their coaches with the truth and training found in scripture. Joe encourages everyone to stay strong and stay the course. “Don’t let someone’s opinion of you become your reality,” he says.
