This is far from the only time that Mazzulla has openly professed his faith.
Last week, he revealed that if the Celtics won the championship, he would celebrate by visiting Jerusalem and the Holyland. …
“Most people go to Disney World or whatever, but … I think [the Holy Land is] the most important place to go back and recenter yourself,” he insisted.
He also spoke of his “prayer walks” and his love of his rosary bead collection. …

🎉 Joe’s words are heard loud and clear. We all should thank God for everything. Thank you Joe for displaying publicly your gratitude to God. With God on our side no one can stand against us. Be safe trust in God and God bless. 🙏😇🙏
Praise the Lord for this Coach!
Praying God will bless him dearly and guide him in his journey to The Holy Land. His whole team has been blessed to have him as their coach.
The world needs more leaders like this.🙏🏻
I LOVE THIS STORY! It is SO refreshing to know a celebrity coach would give the praise and glory to God. What an inspiration he can be to his other coaches and his players. In our terribly troubled world we need more people like him. And to think he will visit the Holy Land to celebrate is very inspiring. What a great place to recenter homself. Thank you coach for putting your faith out there for all to see.
Thank you for writing the article on Coach Mazzulla. I agree on his plan to visit the Holyland to recenter himself and surely any and all that go with him. Quietly, steadily making progress on reactionary, self-serving culture — gratefully slowly our pace down to engage a rhythm that is stayed on God’s word will help build the bridges in relationships, cities, countries… that are needed to bring heaven to earth, even as we say the Lord’s prayer together…
BLESS THIS MAN DEAR LORD, HE GAVE YOU THE CREDIT AS IT IS PROPERT TO DO. IT IS THE TRUTH ALL GOOD THINGS COME FROM GOD. TAKING CREDIT AI ARROGANCE AND DECIET.DEAR GOD PROTECT AND REWARD THIE MAN FORHIS LOYALTY. ENCOURAGE, GUIDE PROTECT ALL WHO ACKNOWLEDGE YOU AS SUPREME.
I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME – AMEN
Thank you, Father God, for Coach Mazulla. Am so grateful he acts like a man. Thank you for looking over his marriage, family, and his work as a coach. Thank you that he prays and thank you that he is watchful. Allow him to stand firm and hold tight to his convictions from the Word of God. Let him stand firm on church attendance, tithing, and in keeping the faith. Allow his behavior to keep his convictions and theology from the Word of God. Let him align with the Word of God. Keep him away from sin and compromises. Let all that he does be done in love. I Cor. 16:13. Thank you Father God that Coach Mazulla has kept You as the Lord of his life. Continue by power of Holy Spirit to give You, Father God and Sweet Jesus, all the glory. Thank you that he wants to bless Israel. Amen and Alleluia.
Dear Lord,
Thank you for giving Coach Mazzulla boldness of faith, that He honored you first, and above all else, in the victory. I pray that all believers take courage from his example of trust and obedience to You. Give us boldness in our faith, not timidity of spirit. You will equip us for every situation, if we seek You first. Thank you Lord, your plans and provision are better than our human wisdom can ever conceive!
Thank you, Lord, for having coaches stand up for our God. I pray that his influence will spread to all need Jesus.
Thank You Lord Jesus for Coach Mazzulla and his boldness and courage and faith! He has spoken out several times about his faith and I thank You for the example that he is for many others! Raise up more like him Lord!
I appreciate and applaud your faith and humility. Way to go! And Congratulations
Great God of all, we praise you for Coach Mazullas open display of thanks to you at his games win. May it inspire all to praise and thank you for not only wins in life but everything. You are worthy of all praise and we thank you for all You are doing to restore our country. Please raise up more men like coach Mazulla to inspire and encourage us all to always give you the glory in everything! In Jesus Christ name we pray, Amen
Father continue to bless those that have the courage of their convictions and that are standing up and standing courageous and strong today for YOU. You alone are worthy to be praised and I adore that this coach and a few others recognize that. You are an awesome God and I both fear and adore you. Thank you for all you have done even to the giving up on your dear Son for such as us. I could NEVER thank you enough!! I love you and I am glad this coach loves you too. I pray many more will not only see his display for you and will likewise be so moved by your Holy Spirit that they will come to you as well. He is planting a seed and I know you will water it. To God be ALL Glory. Amen
Of your sin not on
