Tavares shares how his life changed after encountering Jesus Christ, leading to personal transformation both off and on the pitch. He describes how faith influences his approach to the game, emphasizing humility, forgiveness, and fair play. Upon moving to Slovenia, he noticed a lack of public discussion around religion and decided to promote Christian values through his actions and a now-famous slogan 'Jezus je pot' ('Jesus is the Way').

Ivana Kovač, popularna hrvatska pevka in hči legendarnega pevca Miša Kovača, je udeležila v pogovoru '5 Minutes Left', kjer je razkrila svojo prehodno pot do vere.
