According to the publication, the <em>TIME <\/em>100 Next list was created in 2019 and recognized the \u201crising leaders in health, climate, business, sports, the arts, and more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/collection\/time100-next-2023\/\">Among the outspoken Christians on the list<\/a> were Potter\u2019s House (L.A.) co-pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts, NASA astronaut Victor J. Glover Jr., Major League Baseball star Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr., and NFL quarterback Jalen Hurts. <em>TIME Magazine <\/em>tasked today\u2019s leaders, Peyton Manning, for example, to \u201cpay tribute\u201d to future leaders by writing a short article.<\/p>\n<p>Glover is part of the Artemis II crew scheduled to circle the moon and sail back to Earth next year, and <em>TIME <\/em>noted that Glover is a former fighter pilot who saw action in the Iraq War. He once took a Bible and communion cups to the International Space Station. The publication added, \u201cGlover will be the first person of color to make a lunar journey, and the significance of that is not lost on him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roberts and her husband, Tour\u00e9 Roberts, are co-pastors of Potter\u2019s House in Los Angeles and assistant pastors of Potter\u2019s House in Dallas, which is led by T.D. Jakes, her father. <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/collection\/time100-next-2023\/6308561\/sarah-jakes-roberts\/\">Tyler Perry wrote of Roberts<\/a>, \u201cHer lived experience using the grace of prayer to find a way through personal pain and tragedy resonates deeply with so many.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p4SuOU7OwqA?si=HUVFQsklJPyp53Kv\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cIt\u2019s what has allowed her to connect with millions of other women through her incredible ministry and Woman Evolve conference. As\u00a0Proverbs 22:6\u00a0says, \u2018Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it.\u2019 This is all in Sarah\u2019s DNA.\u201d Hurts, 25, led the Philadelphia Eagles to the Super Bowl last year after being drafted out of Oklahoma in 2020. He was a standout with the Sooners and, before that, Alabama. During interviews, he often discusses his faith, and his Instagram bio reads, \u201cIn God I Trust.\u201d Peyton Manning wrote of Hurts, \u201cHe\u2019s a model of how to approach a job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Acu\u00f1a Jr., an outfielder for the Atlanta Braves, is a four-time All-Star. He is 25 and was born in Venezuela. Like Hurts, Acu\u00f1a Jr. often mentions his faith. Fellow Major Leaguer Miguel Cabrera wrote of Acu\u00f1a Jr., \u201cHe is a young player, and I foresee him having more than one 40-40 season. I hope God keeps him healthy so he can reach 3,000 hits and 500 home runs. You know, I don\u2019t want to be the lone Venezuelan on that list.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s list also includes scientists,\u00a0CEOs,\u00a0artists, and, naturally, a librarian too:\u00a0Brooklyn Public Library\u2019s Nick Higgins, who offers teens across the country access to books banned by their local libraries. Making a list like the <em>TIME <\/em>100 Next list is an enormous accomplishment that shouldn\u2019t be taken lightly. The Christians on this list show that embracing your faith will never lead you astray.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TIME Magazine recently released its \u201c100 Next\u201d list, and it includes several outspoken Christians like an astronaut, an NFL star, and the co-pastor of a prominent church.
