of Scripture important to him as
he grows in his faith in Christ.
Wilson released a video and ac-
companying smartphone app called
"The Making of a Champion,"
which aimed to help people real-

have within. In it Wilson candidly
describes growing up as a wayward
kid and how he came to his faith.
He indicated that Jesus came to
him in a dream when he was 14
years old. Wilson says that in this
dream Jesus told him, "You need
to learn more about Me." So, he
says, "that Sunday morning I ended
up going to church and that's when
I got saved."

love for his God is private and per-
sonal while at the same time being
completely revealed in the way he
lives life every day."
