Many athletes are spiritual or religious, phrase it how you like. It is a widely known fact.
Poring over the vast number of NBA athlete tweets each day, there is a common theme among many of them. Many share scriptures on Twitter and express their faith or offer prayers in the face of bad circumstance or situations for others.
It is a common occurrence enough that it’s not often perceived as being ‘newsworthy’ — and, most certainly, not ‘entertaining’ enough to be deemed Tweet of the Day worthy.
However, Toronto Raptors forward Landry Fields has come across something that is both spiritual and entertaining … definitely worth sharing.
The Bible Project.
Really enjoying all the videos @JoinBibleProj has produced so far. Excellent, visual, teaching on the books!

The Bible Project is a non-profit effort to tell the narrative of the bible in 5-minute animated videos that will be shared for free on the internet. Hear the collaborators on the project explain what they’re doing themselves.
They already have a couple videos posted and the quality is very good. Check them out:
