Tebow and Maxwell will be "discussing sports, leadership, and the Great Commission," the website says. The event is at 12Stone's Lawrenceville site (1322 Buford Drive).

The quarterback led the University of Florida to two national titles, and led the Denver Broncos into the NFL playoffs last season. In the offseason, he was traded to the New York Jets when the Broncos signed high-profile free agent Peyton Manning.
