Hanson, 54, enters his 17th season as a host of “NFL Redzone” and was very open to his faith throughout his career.

Hanson said he was grateful that the United States was a place where people can express themselves.
“I am grateful that in a world that is very divisor, in an absolutely divided country, and of course, we know the events of the last day, that people are free to disagree on things and to show their beliefs, their faith in a setting where we can,” said Hanson.
“We may not agree on everything, but I at least respect your right to be able to express themselves, to be able to say that for me, as a Christian, it is the foundation of my life, I mean, Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, and I am not ashamed of it on this subject.”
“I never want to push anyone else, but I am also very firm knowing what my identity is, and in whom I find my identity. And I will share this with people if they care about, and I fully respect it. If someone is correct on the opposite side of that, or someone thinks that our country needs this.
When asked how he maintained prayer first during difficult times in the country, Hanson said that he turned to God.

“Well, you asked, how can I keep prayer first in times like this? Where could I go?
“When I am exulted, I pray; when I am confused, I pray; when I am angry, I pray. And the one I am telling me to love my enemies and to pray for those who are other sides of ideology, religion, understanding and political love.
“Yeah, I don’t want to become emotional about it, because I watched hours of cover yesterday, and I just thought, I just thought, you know? Where are we going? Where are we?”
Hanson said that in these times, he turns to God and begs to get help.
“For me, it is to start and end with prayer. I say:” Lord, you are in control of all this. I am not.
“Yeah, I don’t want to preach or anything. But that’s really where I fall on it, you know. Where could I go then God then?”
