“We can talk about how you were a new believer when I first met you but, I mean, you've been very helpful in my maturation as well and I think the simplicity of your faith is something that I rever a lot,” Andre shared [21:34 onwards].
Andre Levrone Jr. continued,
“When you say things like ‘God's got you and thank you God’, it doesn't have to be some theological filibustering; it's just the full range of emotions; it's thank you God, God's got you, even why God at times it's just like the Psalms.”
Levrone Jr. shared that with his spiritual growth, he is able to express himself "honestly" and "openly" to the almighty. He played professional football and also had contracts with National Football League teams Jacksonville Jaguars, the Carolina Panthers, and the Baltimore Ravens.
