I completely missed any sense of the final Rocky movie being a testament to Sly's Christian faith, but that appears to be the message of this interview. There are some pretty direct expressions of faith in this interview. I try to quiet the cynic in me that wonders if it's all about marketing to tap into passion dollars. But take a look at the interview and the link contained in it - "Rocky Resources".
Quote from Sly:
"I think as a young person you tend to think that the world somewhat revolves around you, that you can recover from anything, that you tend to have this kind of vim and vigor and energy to take on the world on your own shoulders. Well, after you've been knocked down a few times and the world has shown you it's dark side, you realize that you need guidance, you need God's word, you need spiritual help and that's when your journey will begin.
"So I, as I get older, I realize how - very much - I rely upon Jesus, the word of God, and his support and how I pass it on to my children because I want them to learn at an early age by - usually find out that we have to sometimes learn the hard way and then it really takes hold and that's what this is all about.
