Bear Grylls
Grylls hosted successful television shows, authored several books, and accomplished dozens of personal goals such as hiking Mount Everest, becoming the youngest chief scout ever (at the age of 34-years-old) wrestling an alligator, and holding the world record for the “Highest Open-Air Formal Dinner Party,” held in a hot air balloon at 7,600m.
But despite his many achievements, Bear Grylls remains a humble family man, who honours his wife and trusts in his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Christianity is not about religion, it’s about faith, about being held in the loving arms of Jesus, about being forgiven. It’s about finding joy and finding home.
“I’ve yet to meet anyone who doesn’t want to be forgiven or held or to find peace or joy in their life. The simple things are what I try to keep my faith like. Jesus is unchanging and we are forgiven. I for one, do not want to reach the end of my life in a perfectly preserved body. I want to come flying in sideways, covered in scars, beaten up, and screaming: ‘Yahoo! What a ride!’” - Bear Grylls
