Summary

There are a few conversations that stop me in my tracks, and this was one of them. Sitting across from Tim and Demi-Leigh Tebow, I wasn’t just speaking to a Heisman Trophy winner and a former Miss Universe. I was sitting with two people who live out their faith with more authenticity, humility, and conviction than almost anyone I’ve ever met. What struck me most is how both of them, despite the platforms they’ve been given, have had to wrestle with identity, comparison, loss, and purpose, just like the rest of us. Tim shared the heart behind his new book Look Again and what it really means to understand your worth through God’s eyes, not the world’s. When he said, “We use people and value things, instead of valuing people and using things,” it hit me hard. He reminded us that every single human being carries the image of God, that you’re not just bearing His image, you are His image. You are royalty. That truth changes how you see yourself and how you see others. Demi opened up about her journey from wearing the Miss Universe crown to realizing that she had attached her identity to it and the freedom she found when she handed it back. She also shared the raw pain of losing her father just days before our conversation and how she’s choosing faith in the middle of heartbreak. Her story is one of strength, surrender, and trust, choosing not to ask “Why?” but “Where?” Where is God working this together for good? That perspective will change how you face every challenge in your own life. We also talked about something that’s destroying people quietly, comparison. Tim reminded us that comparison kills joy. You can’t be grateful and envious at the same time. And Demi shared her own powerful insight: when you scroll through social media, you’re often letting people who don’t love you speak into your life. It’s time to take back that space and fill it with truth. And perhaps most moving of all, we dove into the heart of their work through the Tim Tebow Foundation, serving the most vulnerable around the world. From survivors of human trafficking to children with special needs, they’re proof that when you stop and see people the way God does, everything changes. You don’t need a big platform to make a difference, you just need a willing heart. Key Takeaways: How to find your true identity and worth through God’s eyes Why comparison kills joy and how to break free from it How to find hope and peace in the middle of loss The difference between bearing God’s image and being His image How small acts of compassion can create massive change in someone’s life This is one of those conversations you’ll feel deep in your soul. If you’ve ever doubted your worth, questioned your faith, or wondered if God still sees you, this one’s for you. Max out your life. Also don’t miss out on MAXOUT2026: Once a year, I open my home for an intimate one-day experience unlike anything else I do. This year, I’m making it even smaller, just 12 to 15 people. Together, we’ll dive deep into the exact strategies I use to plan, visualize, and design the best year of my life and yours.

0:37.5	Hey guys, it's Ed. I rarely do this. As you know, 99.9% of my content is free, but once a year, I do something where I gather a very small group of people in my house. I've done it for two years in a row now. And I'm going to do it again this year. If you go to Maxout 2026.com, I'm going to do an experience in my home where I'm going to take you through how to make 2026 the best year of your life, all of the tactics and strategies that I use to plan and organize my own life in detail, same time, all of the mental rehearsal and visualization techniques that people pay me hundreds and millions of dollars a year to teach them. I will be teaching that day as well. And the other years I've done it, I've had groups of about 25 or 30. I've decided this year I want to shrink the size of the group so that I can get more one-on-one-time with each of you.
0:41.8	I'm going to keep the groups to 12 or 15. It's a chance to spend a day with me in my home, lunch, one-on-one time, and group time. And it's not cheap. So if it's something you can't afford, please don't get yourself in any financial trouble or debt doing so.
0:52.7	But if it's something you can afford to do, go to maxout 20226.com, and I'm looking forward to having you in my home with me very soon for an
0:59.7	amazing day, a life-changing day. God bless you.
1:07.1	This is The Admiral Show.
1:11.8	All right, welcome back to the show, everybody.
1:13.5	So I've done about 800 interviews, and it's not often that I start out by saying,
1:18.7	here's who these two people are.
1:20.0	He is the greatest college football player of all time, in my opinion, and she was Miss Universe.
1:25.3	So that's where we're starting.
1:27.0	Beyond that, let me tell you who these two people really are. I've got to know the gentleman to my left pretty well over the last few years. And he's a five times bestselling author. He's an analyst on television for football with ESPN, an incredible philanthropist. He is, in my opinion, the greatest college football player of all time. and I can honestly tell you in knowing him, none of those are the things that come to mind when I think about him. When I think about him, I think about somebody who's a great champion for Jesus Christ. He's a great man of God. And when you meet him, he's such a good dude. You're thinking there's got to be a chink in the armor there somewhere. And as I've got to know him, he's even better person than my expectations. And I admire him and I love him very much. He's somebody that I actually look up to in many ways of my life. And in his beautiful wife's case, she has unbelievable work she's been doing. She's got a book that we're going to talk about in a minute. She's a brand new mother. She is very involved in the Tim Tebow Foundation,
2:21.3	which is a foundation. I can't get off my mind after some of the things he shared with me,
2:24.9	the photos, et cetera. And they're just a power couple. They're just two people that I really look up to.
2:29.6	They're also neighbors of mine now, Demi, and Tim Tebow. Welcome to the show.
2:33.0	Thank you so much, brother. So
2:34.2	appreciate you in your heart. And thanks for having us. And I love last time we got to
2:39.1	together and got to talk and share. And I'm excited about this time. And so excited Demi can be
2:43.9	with us. I am too, man. I got to tell you. Let me tell me about their books first because you need to
2:47.0	go get these books. Because number one, he's written five best eulges you know that you have five of these doesn't matter and this one's coming out on november 2nd depending on when you watch it but the title of the book is look again we're going to talk about that today you taking a look again recognize your worth renew your hope and run with confidence and in demi's case my wife's read your book and it's a devotional is what it really is-day devotional, correct? Her book is called Knowing Who You Are Because of Who God is 100 Days to Unbreakable Faith. That's kind of where I want to start. I want to start with you. The more I've traveled and done speaking over the years, you meet people, and they don't all feel so great about themselves. And I feel like the world sometimes can lie to us about who we
3:24.9	really are. Instagram, social media, the messages you get. What do you think, Demi, of all the work
3:30.9	you've been doing with this and probably the thousands of messages, particularly for women, like,
3:34.7	what's some of the lies that they buy into about who they really are that causes them to think
