What Inspired NBA Star Jonathan Isaac to Stand Up for His Beliefs

During the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, many athletes kneeled during the national anthem in a show of solidarity with the movement. But one man, Orlando Magic player Jonathan Isaac, stood instead.

Isaac is the author of a new book titled “Why I Stand” that details what led him to make that decision. He says it's his deep and personal relationship with Christ that inspired him to stand.

"I tried my best to see it from Christ's perspective," Isaac explains. "And so, as I looked out and saw what was happening, I didn't want to join into a fight. I wanted to have my own mind, my own mindset and stand and say that ultimately the love of Christ has been the difference in my life, and I want to portray that to the world."

Isaac joins the show to chat about his book and how his relationship with God guides his life.
