Tebow talks about inspiration from 'Braveheart' at sermon

Tim Tebow spoke of faith and film at a Father's Day service for Shadow Mountain Community Church at San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium on Sunday.

The New York Jets quarterback revealed how his father, Bob, instilled lifelong values in Tebow using the movie Braveheart and Mel Gibson's depiction of William Wallace as a learning tool.

"It had the biggest impact on my life because every time I would go to practice from then on out, I would think of what my father said to me: 'Do I really love what I'm doing? Am I passionate about it? And am I willing to sacrifice more than anybody else?' " Tebow told a crowd of 26,000 of what he gleaned from Braveheart, which is still his favorite flick.

Per NFL.com, Tebow was largely cheered even though he led the Denver Broncos to an OT win over the Chargers in his previous visit to San Diego last November.

"It feels really good to get an applause in this stadium," Tebow said. "It's never happened before."
