Former Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow is facing serious questions after reports linked him to a Christian organization accused of pushing costly financial advice that left some participants with little or no return.
Tebow’s name surfaced in reporting from the Associated Press, The Athletic, the Denver Post and other outlets, after he appeared on “Pablo Torre Finds Out” amid scrutiny of Life Surge, the group he has been doing speaking engagements for. According to Matt Moret of The Athletic, Life Surge is accused of pressuring people into paying thousands of dollars for financial advice that did not deliver.
The courses reportedly came with a steep price tag, with The Athletic saying they cost upwards of $20,000. For those who could not afford that, the group allegedly encouraged them to borrow thousands from third-party lenders. Torre and Mother Jones both spoke with people who said they saw little or no benefit from what they paid for.
There were also claims of heavy pressure inside the program. One Life Surge staffer reportedly told participants that “the devil” was behind their doubts. Life Surge has denied the allegations.
Tebow said he is taking the matter seriously and is “pausing” his relationships with Life Surge while his team conducts its own investigation. He also said he was “caught off guard” by the allegations.
Mother Jones reported that Tebow spoke at 20 Life Surge events in 2024 and 2025, and that he is on pace to speak at another 20 this year.
The development comes after Tebow made a celebratory return to Denver for the Broncos’ home opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, planting the alumni flag before Denver’s 20-13 win over the Jags.
The situation could also create complications for the Broncos, who are in negotiations with multiple community groups to help fund their Burnham Yards stadium project. It remains to be seen whether the backlash tied to Tebow and Life Surge will affect that effort.

Rockies Face One Defining Offseason Test After Another 100-Loss Year
Paul DePodesta is heading into his first full offseason running baseball operations in Colorado with a clear read on the assignment. After a 58-104 season, the Rockies have now endured four straight years of 100 or more losses, and while the offense showed some improvement, the pitching side of the roster still looked far too thin to support any real progress. DePodesta has already spent time evaluating the clubs needs and said he is ready to move quickly when opportunities present themselves.
For the Rockies, the next few months amount to a defining test of whether that evaluation turns into something more meaningful than another winter of patchwork fixes. The club has to address the mound first and foremost, and the urgency is hard to ignore after another long season in the standings. What DePodesta does with that urgency, and how aggressively Colorado tries to reshape the roster, will say plenty about how serious the organization is about breaking the cycle. [Read more 🡒]
