Look closely at the wrist of New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin and you'll see a wristband from Active Faith. The apparel company is the creation of NBA players Lanny Smith and Anthony Tolliver. Both are members of the Houston-based Lakewood Church where Joel Osteen is pastor. The one Lin wears is available here. The website says Active Faith aims to:
“use the platform and visibility that athletics gives to bring glory to God’s name…. More than ever it seems athletes are more open about expressing their faith and being bold about their love for Christ. We are proud to be at the forefront of this movement that is spreading the Gospel to so many people.”
