Summary

Today we welcome NBA player Jonathan Isaac back to the show to discuss the amazing success of his book, "Why I Stand," as well as what's been going on for him as an unvaccinated player in the NBA. Jonathan talks about why he wrote the book and why it was so important to him to stand by his values during the extremely chaotic summer of 2020 rather than capitulate to the BLM narrative. We also talk about his faith, how he became a Christian, and how that faith in God has helped him through his academic and athletic career. --- Today's Sponsor: Hunter Douglas helps you 'live beautifully' with enhanced style & increased comfort in your home throughout the day with their PowerView technology shades that can be set to automatically reposition for the perfect balance of light, privacy, & insulation.
