Bold as a Lion: How an NBA Superstar Developed the Faith & Courage to Stand with Orlando Magic’s Jonathan Isaac, Ep. 193

On July 31, 2020, the Orlando Magic starting forward Jonathan Isaac was the lone NBA player not to kneel for the national anthem amid a league-wide demonstration in support of Black Lives Matter. Standing alone, knowing the scrutiny to come, Jonathan had a peace he at one time never could have imagined possible. In today’s conversation, Jonathan joins Zach and Joshua Broome to unpack his testimony and to share some of the valuable principles you can find in his book, WHY I STAND! It’s been said that Jonathan’s story is a real life discovery that no matter your level of confidence today, God’s strength will develop in your weakness, for courage is found in trusting that God is greater than your fears. Additionally, as God continues to use Jonathan on and off the court, Jonathan felt prompted in his spirit to create UNITUS, which is so much more than just a premium Christian apparel — as it’s recognized as a global movement for positive change. Like us here at Built Different, those at UNITUS believe that Jesus offers our world a better way, and they boldly stand for their faith in Him. Their mission is to inspire and empower people to live in greater unity, freedom, strength, and purpose. We pray that today’s conversation would encourage you in knowing and believing that in a world surrounded by fear, we can boldly and courageously choose to live a life of FAITH!
