Coach Kennedy joins Kirk Cameron at Seattle library to promote ‘humble story of faith’

Kirk Cameron took his latest faith-based children’s book Pride Comes Before the Fall to the Seattle Public Library where he was joined by Joe Kennedy, the high school football coach who was fired for praying with students at games.

Kennedy has since been reinstated at Bremerton High School following the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in his favor.

Together, Cameron and Kennedy encouraged parents to continue to stand for liberty and traditional family values.

“We’re in a culture that increasingly seems to have our eyes focused on more and more on ourselves — self-exultation and it’s all about self-expression,” Cameron told those in attendance. “The virtue of self-control, and humility, and thinking of others first is rare and we need more and more of that.”

Cameron told the Washington Examiner that Kennedy also “shared his humble story of faith, then huddled up and prayed to remind the kids to always do the right thing and consider others more important than yourselves.”

“The whole reason I became a coach was to help our youth and our kids be the best versions of themselves possible,” Kennedy said. “I’m so excited to be partnering with Kirk.”

Protesters gathered outside the Seattle Public Library, holding signs in opposition to Cameron’s latest book that has targeted the idea of pride.

One demonstrator held a sign that read, “You are growing to be a real pain. You know that,” putting a spin on Cameron’s childhood role in the TV sitcom Growing Pains.

Cameron noted the humor of the sign: “Nicely played, Sir!”

In addition to reading Pride Comes Before the Fall, Cameron also read his first book, As You Grow, which details the journey of a tree’s growth and the value of “biblical wisdom through the seasons of life.”

Pride Comes Before the Fall will appear in stores on June 1.
