Athletes from Tim Tebow to Patrick Mahomes have long shared their faith publicly, and now some top soccer clubs are telling those stories themselves.

Brentford FC of the English Premier League has released a faith-based series called "Football and Faith," following Portuguese midfielder Fábio Carvalho, Brazilian forward Igor Thiago and English midfielder Josh Dasilva.

According to the club, the three have formed a "close-knit circle" where they pray, read Scripture and share key moments in their Christian walk, including the recent baptisms of Carvalho and Dasilva. A few months ago, Chelsea Football Club also shared stories about its players' relationships with Jesus.
