Think Twice Ministries

By Dr. Mark Denison



"Incredible passion." "High energy." "Amazing story." Those are the words used by church leaders to describe John and Guy Earle, when they have brought them in for crusades, revivals, and other events.

These former NFL linemen share more in common than their faith and ministry - they are identical twins. Raised in New Jersey, they followed similar paths to pro football. Both were All-Americans in college, played in the NFL, and won Grey Cup Championships in the Canadian Football League, playing on the same line with the Baltimore Stallions. John's career included time with the Cincinnati Bengals, Kansas City Chiefs, New England Patriots, and St. Louis Rams. Guy played for the Washington Redskins and Houston Oilers.

While serving on church staffs - Guy is Executive Pastor at Gracepoint Church in Denton, TX, while John is Student Pastor at First Baptist Colleyville, TX - they launched Think Twice Ministries in 2007. John says they did this out of a "passion for Jesus" and "desire to see lives changed."

John found a personal relationship with Christ after major football injures that sidelined his career. He says, "I asked Jesus to be my best friend, Lord, and Savior, and I surrendered my life into his hands. To this day I have found a peace that only Jesus can give."

Guy loves to share what God can do in a young man's life. Of his own life, he says, "I went to church but still was feeling empty. I got down on my knees and accepted Christ into my life. Today I no longer feel empty inside because my life has been changed!"

Think Twice Ministries conducts over 100 events per year, and sees 1,200 come to Christ annually. Their message is simple: "Our only hope is in Jesus," John says. They go anywhere: FCA events, churches, NFL chapels, college football chapels, and prisons. Recent events include state-wide FCA rallies and prison invitations that have seen hundreds come to faith in Christ.

John and Guy don't charge to come to these events. If you want to see lives changed, bring Think Twice Ministries to your church or organization.

God is using these humble giants to share the Good News of transformed lives as they call America back to Christ.
