Super Bowl 58: Faith Moments & Controversial Commercials

0:00 I'm John Madurezno for CharismaNews.com and today it's all about the Super Bowl, which was the big event last night. This is Super Bowl 58 and for those of you that aren't aware, the Kansas City Chiefs overcame the San Francisco 49ers 25 to 22 in overtime. But the big thing that was on display that we want to talk about is always our faith in Jesus Christ and how he was represented in different ways in this. And the first clip that I'm going to play for you is when owner Clark Hunt was asked by Jim Nance about what his thoughts were and what he felt during this incredible moment. Well, first of all, I want to congratulate Andy, the football team, our coaching staff on an incredible performance. And it's been an amazing five-year run. I want to thank the Lord for giving us this opportunity. He thanks the Lord for that opportunity. And it's encouraging to see whenever people are actually taking the time when they're on a pedestal to actually give thanks to the Lord. Now, there was great commercials during this time as well. And some of those we're going to feature right now. The Hallowed app is one that features some familiar faces. God, we take this moment just to give you thanks. We thank you for this time to come together as a family, as friends, and as a country. Help us Lord, especially this lent

1:35 to grow closer to you. Amen. Join us in prayer this Lent on Hallow. Stay prayed up. The Hallowed app is a great app. And you see Mark Wahlberg and Jonathan Rumi, who plays Jesus in The Chosen, who are both devout Catholics and very vocal about their faith, are promoting people to follow along in prayer with this app, the Hallowed app. And it's a great resource if you want to grow your faith and stay connected as well. There was a group that was a little bit more controversial. And we're going to show one of the two commercials that they put.

2:17 We're going to show this one first. The He Gets Us campaign is back at it again. They've had Super Bowl commercials in previous years. And that one was well received. But we've got one that has caused quite the stir online. Take a look at this.

3:14 And they could never tear us apart. He Gets Us is back at it again with this very moving commercial just showing these images of people washing other people's feet, people from one side of the tracks washing the feet of the others from different sides of the world, different theologies, different backgrounds, that people that would normally be at each other's throats, they're washing each other's feet.

4:11 And this has caused quite a stir online. And we'd love to hear what your thoughts are.
