Faith and Basketball: A Journey of Resilience

We all remember the historic moment in 2020 when the entire Orlando Magic team was kneeling during the national anthem in solidarity with Black Lives Matter, save one brave player. The name of that player was Jonathan Issac and today we welcome him on the show to learn more about why he made the controversial decision to stand and the backlash he received. We talk about his chance bump-in with his future pastor and his conversion to radical Christian discipleship. He shares about what it was like to be a messenger for the Gospel throughout his NBA career. We wrap up by discussing his new Christian shoe brand and aspirations as a father, athlete, and Christian.
