Tim Tebow learned that controversial preacher Dr. Robert Jeffress would be appearing at same Dallas church and cancelled his appearance
NFL star Tim Tebow has pulled out of his planned speech-giving at the First Baptist Church in Dallas, after learning that he’d be sharing the pulpit with a controversial preacher who has denounced both Jews and gays.
