Editorial Reviews
"For years I've watched my friend Tim Tebow pursue various passions-each of them with all his heart, mind, and strength. No matter the challenges or opinions he faced, his faith in the greater purpose was unwavering. His perseverance remains the same today, and I believe Mission Possible will help you know why you, too, can embody that mindset in whatever passion you're pursuing."-Stephen A. Smith, sports journalist, radio host, and ESPN commentator
"No matter who you are or where you are from, God has a plan for your life. Understanding His plan can become quite challenging for those who aren't equipped with the right tools. Mission Possible will help you deal with what God has in store for you. Tim allows us to see that God's plan has purpose even though we may not see it clearly at times."-Luke Bryan, country music artist and five-time ACM Awards Entertainer of the Year
"Mission Possible is timely and timeless. Each chapter is written with intentionality, emphasizing a sense of urgency to discover what it means to make your life count. It doesn't matter your background, title, zip code, or perceived limitations; Tim reminds you that God created us all to live each day with purpose. And in this book, Tim will show you how. When you turn the final page, get ready to be, as he calls it, ‘a champion of higher purpose.'"-Steven Furtick, New York Times
bestselling author and pastor of Elevation Church
"Tim is the perfect author for a book that encourages readers to make their lives count. The principles he talks about reflect not only his passion but also the vision for his life that he actively pursues. When you take this journey through these pages with Tim, one thing is clear: you're going to discover purpose wherever you are and leave an impact wherever you go. If you want to do much more than just occupy space in this life, pick up this book and let Tim show you how."-Thomas Rhett Akins, country music artist and 2021 ACM Awards Male Artist of the Year

Mission Proposal, Mission Purpose
I've always believed the mission is greater than the man. -Rick Perry
The Sierra Madre has one of the largest rain forests in the Philippines. Situated on the island of Luzon, this rugged jungle is home to a surviving hunter-gatherer group called the Agta. Several years ago, a group of anthropologists set out to study this Indigenous group of people. The researchers were curious to learn more about how the Agta valued the members of their tribe based on their individual contributions. You'd think the ones who had skills like hunting, gathering, and fishing would top the list, but that wasn't the case. You know who came out on top? Storytellers. The Agta revered the tribe members who spun tales more than those who literally brought home the bacon, the snacks, and the drinks.
While it's clear they hold it in high esteem, the Agta aren't the only ones who appreciate the art of storytelling.
Stories matter. They're important. They flavor what might otherwise be a boring lecture. They keep us entertained while we binge-watch shows on Netflix. Stories can engage and inspire and have an effect on a single life or go on to change thousands.
Who doesn't love a good story?
And who doesn't love telling one?
When I began to scheme about how to propose to my then girlfriend, Demi, I knew it had to be a great story. I wanted to offer my future bride an experience that would spark memories of joy throughout her lifetime. I wanted her to sigh in bliss and get butterflies in her stomach whenever she'd recall what I hoped would be one of the best days of her life. I wanted her to be reminded of how much she is loved.
Okay, fine, and maybe, just maybe, there was a smidgen of ego in my motivation. I wanted to be the awesome fiancé who crushed this monumental task. What can I say? I'm a competitive guy, even with myself.
There are a few elements necessary to create an experience that will live on as a great story, particularly an engagement story. I knew that to make it meaningful to Demi, this moment had to include special people, a beautiful location, and the element of surprise. The goal was to have a mission possible, mission proposal for the girl of my dreams.
The ring had to come from Africa, my bride's homeland. Over the past few months of dating, Demi had dropped a few hints about the styles of rings she liked. They were clues, but I knew the finished product was up to me. After I met with several different jewelers, one in particular had some great recommendations. Over the next few months, Tom Hoyt and I had many conversations about finding the perfect ring, but when he started talking about an "internally flawless diamond," which is exactly what it sounds like, well, he had my attention. To make matters even more interesting, the responsibly sourced ring had a story of its own, recorded in a beautifully designed book.
Giving gifts is my love language. Having found a woman who, to me, was the epitome of flawless beauty in so many ways, I knew this was the ring for her. The diamond included an artfully crafted book that described its journey. Discovered in 2014, the gem qualified as "exceptional" because it was so rare and valuable. It was kept separate from other diamonds from the moment it was found. A company in New York cut and polished the diamond, and it took five craftsmen to bring this masterpiece to its final form.
The diamond then traveled from New York to Belgium and underwent a twenty-seven-step evaluation process by renowned gemologists and diamond graders. Together they confirmed the diamond was beautiful enough and met the clarity, cut, and color requirements to carry the Forevermark promise. Many diamonds get rejected during this process. Demi's, however, a diamond of exceptional beauty, passed with flying colors. I love that it had a unique story, like Demi, and they both came from Africa, and I couldn't wait for those two stories to come together.
I had found something beautiful to give to the love of my life. But creating an element of surprise proved a bit more difficult. Unbeknownst to Demi, I had arranged for my family, both sets of her parents, and her best friends to be present the moment I popped the question. It's hard enough to coordinate the schedules of two or three buddies to watch college football at my house, let alone twenty-plus loved ones from around the world. It proved a challenge, but with a lot of help from others, it happened. Special people? Check.
The big moment would come on January 9, after a belated and (wink, wink) faux Christmas celebration with my family in Florida. Over the actual holidays, I was helping report on the national championship between Clemso...
