Liberty University has announced an all-star line-up of athletes, comedians and pop stars who’ll visit the Christian school this fall in a bid to “challenge, entertain, and inspire students.”

Joe Theismann, the star quarterback and Super Bowl champion who played with the Washington Redskins.

Tim Hawkins, a grocery truck driver-turned-Christian comedian, actor and singer whose songs include “Smells like Birthday Cake” and “I Work at Subway.”
Brian Litrell, who was a member of The Backstreet Boys, and has appeared in movies such as the R-Rated Seth Rogan film, “This is the End.”
For King & Country, a Christian pop duo dubbed “Australia’s answer to Coldplay.”
