Tony Dungy Implores Christians to ‘Demonstrate the Qualities’ of Jesus Amid Floyd Protests, Riots

June 3, 2020 by Staff

(Fox News) Hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy said the answers to America’s current divisions are found in the church, urging, “We can’t be silent.”

Dungy, the first black head coach to win a Super Bowl, made the comments after driving with his wife, Lauren, thinking and praying about how to respond to protests following the death in Minneapolis of George Floyd, which devolved into riots and looting.

“Today we are a divided country,” Dungy wrote in a lengthy post. “We’re divided racially, politically and socio-economically. And Satan is laughing at us because that is exactly what he wants. Dysfunction, mistrust and hatred help his kingdom flourish.”

As I have watched the events in Minneapolis unfold the last few days I have wondered & prayed about how I should respond. Below are my thoughts. I hope you read the whole thing because the final thought is most important. Romans 12:21 🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/9uTtk0R9gW
