And in a comfortable setting. A church. 12Stone Church in Lawrenceville, to be exact.

Several media reports have noted that Tebow, who gained fame at the University of Florida and with the Denver Broncos for his evangelical beliefs and kneeling on sidelines, will appear at 12Stone Church's Lawrenceville campus on May 2. The event is begin organized by EQUIP Leadership, which is based in Suwanee.

Tebow's appearance is billed as "An Appearance With John C. Maxwell and Tim Tebow." Maxwell is an evangelican Christian author, according to Wikipedia.org. He is a Florida resident.

Tebow recently was traded from Denver to the New York Jets when Denver signed free-agent QB Peyton Manning.
