The music playing over this video is a Christian song (”My Redeemer Lives”). The text at the end implies that the father-son team is a testimony that “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13).

The thing is, the father-son team don’t appear to be in any way Christian. Some websites imply that they might be Mormons, but they don’t seem to promote Jesus in any way, either through their organization or in interviews. Their love for each other is admirable and touching, but their story doesn’t testify that “I can do all things through CHRIST,” as the video implies.

Their website — http://www.teamhoyt.com/ — seems to avoid referencing Christ, Christianity, their faith, or anything spiritual.

Bottom line: Someone wrapped a fine story of a father’s love for his son with a poorly produced and disingenuous attempt to touch hearts for Christ. The truth hurts, I confess; but that’s the truth.

Christ said that He is the Way, the TRUTH, and the life. If we embrace this video as being fully truthful, which it is not, then we denigrate Christ. Our emotions should follow truth; our sense of truth should not be influenced by emotions.
