Former NFL quarterback Steve Stenstrom, who runs an annual faith-based conference of professional football players, has long been impressed with Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins' strong religious beliefs.
Stenstrom is also familiar with other Eagles like special teamer Chris Maragos, who writes for The Increase. It's a website for the Christian organization where Stenstrom is president, called Pro Athletes Outreach.
The Eagles' team chaplain, the Rev. Theodore Winsley, also writes monthly for The Increase, which is named for a verse from the Bible. "He must increase, but I must decrease," John 3:30 reads across the site's masthead.
The relationship between Eagles players and Stenstrom's faith-based organization is one thread of many that helps explain the strong religious vibe coursing through the team this season.
