That's a great story, Johnathan, and a tribute to your resolution to stand with Christ. What took you through it was accepting the mind of Christ and within that mind you found repentance, forgiveness of yourself as well as forgiveness of others. That's when we know that the power of God is within each of us as love replaces fear.
Such a great and inspiring interview Kirk! I will be sharing this with my 17 and 15 year old sons who both enjoy the sport of basketball. I pray this testimony speaks to their hearts.
AMEM thank you so much for allowing Jonathan to give his story, it will be a saving force to save the world, as we stand with Christ, He stands mightily with us. God bless
Kirk, thanks for such a good interview. It is encouraging to hear how individuals living kingdom principles out in every day life are changing the face of America. Jesus gets ALL the Glory! And I call you Blessed
This was amazing!❤ sounds exactly similar to my growing pains and i too went down the rabbit hole of Jordan Peterson , Frank turek, William lane Craig! All these people! So amazing thank you Jesus
"Growing pains". Well said. I have no idea who he is, but even if he was a man sitting at a bus stop having a brief conversation, this would still brighten up my day immensely. Thanks.
I was in tears of joy listening to this powerful testimony! Praise God! Thank you for boldly speaking out! You blessed many! Thank Kirk for this interview! God bless you 🙏
This guy is a good bonafide Christian. He gives me hope, and I could sense his love for God watching him with Jack Hibbs . I am a backslidden Christian from a previous generation. If I had never made that one bad decision in my life, I could have a role model like him maybe
Jesus I love you and have trust and confidence in you. I have faith in Jesus . I will never stop trusting in him, even though I’m struggling putting groceries in my refrigerator, and paying bills. Like so many others, I lost my job as a social worker at Forsyth because I declined the vaccine. I declined because of my pre existing health condition (Lupus) and Heart disease. I was denied my medical/religious exemption from Forsyth Hospital. I’m waitressing but not making nearly enough to make ends meet. My husband died years ago. I’m all alone. I’m a single mother with two beautiful children both of my sons are autistic. So I’m overwhelmed at times because they require so much more from me. Sometimes I want to give up. But God keeps me going. Every month is a struggle, to not end up on the streets with my little boys. BUT I have faith God will provide. He HAS so FAR. With God all things are possible.
All I could think of when he was telling about him running into that man was it was an Angel! Not sure if that was true, but that is the first thing that came to my mind.
Not too many Christians in the NBA, quite a few in the NFL and MLB. A. C. Green and David Robinson stand out as strong believers who used to play in the NBA!
Hi Kirk & Johnathon, thank you for your takeaway nibbles and testimonies. Can i ask why does the team say, magic, when as christians we are told in Galations? that we dont agree or participate with such things as christians. I mean, man you can be attacked or attempted to be zapped by it, but for us as believers we dont um how to say condone it or support or promote it? what are your thoughts? I know that I'm not a perfect Christian/ human, a work in progress, sanctification, so it's not a dig or anything just a sincere question, like why labels, like everything in this realm is being labeled. But praise be To God that in Christ Jesus He labels us. I mean He literally, gives us a new identity and we find ourselves, our name our identity, our freedom, our label In Him. How liberating is THAT! that what Jesus Christ has done for us He shields us from the labelling of others, from being branded by the world or by the opinions of others and when you come to our Lord Jesus Christ, you become more like Him and no longer labelled by others or the world but a new creation In Christ! CAN I GET A HALLELUJUAH THANK YOU JEUS!!!1 THANK YOU BLES YOU HOLY SPIRIT THANK YOU ABBA FATHER, YOURE A GOOD GOOD FATHER ITS WHO YOU ARE ITS WHO YOUUUUU ARE...AND IM LOVED BY YOU... Leading up to BIG finish and the choir finishes with and "Jesus Always Wins" And jazzy hands. 👐👐🙌🙌 Jesus is Alive!!! ⛪💕🏃♂💨🌍
“He was despised and rejected- a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care. Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all. He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth. Unjustly condemned, he was led away. No one cared that he died without descendants, that his life was cut short in midstream. But he was struck down for the rebellion of my people. He had done no wrong and had never deceived anyone. But he was buried like a criminal; he was put in a rich man’s grave. But it was the Lord’s good plan to crush him and cause him grief. Yet when his life is made an offering for sin, he will have many descendants. He will enjoy a long life, and the Lord’s good plan will prosper in his hands. When he sees all that is accomplished by his anguish, he will be satisfied. And because of his experience, my righteous servant will make it possible for many to be counted righteous, for he will bear all their sins. I will give him the honors of a victorious soldier, because he exposed himself to death. He was counted among the rebels. He bore the sins of many and interceded for rebels.” Isaiah 53:3-12 NLT This was written around 700 years before Jesus came into the earth, yet it describes His life perfectly. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 God loves you so much and showed that by sending His Son to die for us so that we may inherit eternal life. We deserve hell but He gave us heaven through faith in Jesus. He took the punishment we deserved and by putting our faith in Him we can be saved.
