Welcome to the podcast Think Biblically, Conversations on Faith and Culture.

I'm your host Scott Ray, Dean of Faculty and Professor of Christian Ethics here at Talbot School of Theology at Biola University.

And I'm your co-host Sean McDowell, Professor of Apologetics at Talbot School of Theology

Biola University.

We're here today with two very special guests, Adam Donya and Derek Darry Darrell, who are co-authors of a fascinating new book

that links basketball, friendship, and racial reconciliation together, called Wind by Two.

It's a fabulous story, very compelling,

about how they met, became friends,

and sort of serve the Lord together

and just this incredible friendship that developed

out of their sort of chance meeting on a basketball court.

So let me ask both of you just to start with. It's a fascinating story and I understand why you,

you know, why you wanted to get the story out. But, you know, writing a book on it is a lot of work,

it's a lot of effort. What motivated you to actually take the time and effort

to write the book to get this story out at this time?

Yeah, well, this is Adam.

COVID really helped that. There's quarantine and my heartbeat was to help Derek in any way that I could and just getting his story out there because I think his story is so powerful and

compelling and I got to play a small part of it and so the motivation was

really hopefully to give Derek some more opportunities like this where he gets to get on a

podcast or he's even gotten a couple speaking opportunities to just share his

story in a time where I feel like our country desperately needs to come together rather than continually divide that

wedge.
