Dr. Lovejoy Joins the Power Team

In an exciting afternoon lecture, Oceanography professor Dr. Lovejoypeacepatiencekindnessgoodnessfaithfulnessgentlenessandselfcontrol (Lovejoy for short) announced his return to the roughest and toughest group of Christian strong men, the Power Team.

“I love teaching science...but I’d much rather defy it,” said Lovejoy as he prepared to bench press a Chevy pick-up with Dr. and Mrs. Clark sitting in the front seats.

After suffering from shrapnel wounds at the battle of Gettysburg, Lovejoy was captured and held in a Confederate prison. It was then that he performed his first feat of strength as he bent the prison bars around his forehead and punched through a 4 foot thick brick wall, earning him the title of “Power Team.”

Lovejoy began traveling around the United States visiting schools and churches displaying the “world’s greatest exhibition of power, strength, speed, inspiration and motivation” while sharing the gospel.

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!” cried Lovejoy as he took the Bacon reporters’ microphone and bit it clean through. He then proceeded to rip 11 inch stacks of Evolution research papers.

Lovejoy transitioned to teaching science in the 1920’s. The Power Team continued on, however they required a 20+ member squad to equal the feats of Lovejoy.

While teaching, Lovejoy began to integrate his muscular strength into scientific demonstrations. He once pressurized a lump of carbon into a 20 carat diamond with his bare hands. On another occasion, while standing barefoot on a bed of nails, Lovejoy shattered several classifications of crystallized granite slabs over each thigh, to display different levels of hardness.

Lovejoy has also put his strength to work for PBA. The old library and theatre didn’t stand a chance against the onslaught of Lovejoy’s forearms as he pulverized every standing wall and iron structure. He then piled the remaining rubble into a refrigerator and hoisted it onto his back.

With the Power Team visiting West Palm Beach, Lovejoy will be rejoining the action and leading the surge of intensity throughout Village Baptist Church.

Despite veteran status, Lovejoy has maintained his reputation. “I’m intimidated by him,” claimed Bruiser Jennings, the current Team captain, “I’ve seen him punch through 21 fiery cement blocks without even wearing a jump-suit.”

The iron pumping, brick breaking, crowd pleasing power lifter Dr. Lovejoy will be performing from January 23rd to the 27th , changing the world, one brick at a time.
