In an interview with Christian singer Tauren Wells, NBA Champion Stephen Curry said that Romans 8:28 is his foundation in life.

Tauren interviewed the 2022 NBA Champion Stephen for his podcast “The High Note.” In that interview the basketball star got real about his journey as a son of  a successful NBA player, Dell Curry. He has played in the league for 16 years; 10 years of it was played as a shooting guard for the Charlotte Hornets.

“No matter what gym I walked into [in high school], I would hear the student section [shout], … ‘Daddy can’t help you,’” Stephen said, laughing.

Romans 8:28

He said that it was his mother’s faith that got him through all the pressure that he experienced.

“My mom messaged over and over and over and over again, Romans 8:28, and that was the verse that she spoke life into me,” he said. “We know that in all things God works for the good of those that love Him and who have been called according to His purpose.”

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28

From that moment on, that Bible verse has formed the foundation of his faith as a young boy. Even up until he got to where is he right now.

“That was something that … I really believed in that whatever I put my mind to, whatever I decided I was going to really work at. And have that spirit of accomplishment that I was going to be able to live it out.”

Faith

The four-time NBA Champion believes that God is calling him to where He wanted him to be.

“And that’s carried all the way through whatever the challenge ahead of me was,” he said. “… God doesn’t make any mistakes with anything that happens in my life.”

Stephen’s faith started when he was still a young child. His mother, Sonya, would take him and his siblings to church every week. They also have a daily Bible study early in the morning before they went to school.

The 2022 Finals MVP also said that he plays for an “audience of One,” and that his faith “has always been my foundation.”

The Golden State Warriors won the NBA 2022 Finals against the Boston Celtics with a score of 90-103. Stephen Curry received his very first Finals MVP award after showing exemplary gameplay in all the six final games. He averaged 31.2 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals during the final game.

It is also Steph’s fourth championship with the Warriors tying him with NBA stars Lebron James and Shaquille O’Neal. When asked how does it feel to be awarded the Finals MVP, he gave God and his teammates the credit for this victory.

“Forget that question. Why do you start with that question?” Stephen responded. “We’ve got four championships. God is great. The ability to be on this stage and play with amazing teammates against a great Boston Celtics team gave us everything to try to get to the finish line.”

Finals MVP

The past years for the Golden State Warriors have been difficult. But the team has overcome all the hurdles and finally brought back a championship trophy.

“This one hits different for sure, just knowing what the last three years have meant, what it’s been like from injuries to changing of the guard in the rosters, Wiggs coming through, our young guys carrying the belief that we could get back to this stage and win, even if it didn’t make sense to anybody when we said it, all that stuff matters.”

Stephen Curry has also expressed his gratefulness for his team and how this victory is special for them.

“And now we got four championships. Me, Dray, Klay, and Andre, we finally got that bad boy. It’s special. It’s special. Just all the work that went into it, the faith and belief, and everybody in that locker room that’s getting to spray champagne around the locker room, everybody mattered in that process. So I’m just proud of everybody.”

Christian NBA Star Stephen Curry Leads Golden State Warriors Back To Finals

written by Rhoda Gayle

Christian NBA Star Stephen Curry has led the Golden State Warriors back to the NBA finals.

Stephen Curry

After not making the postseason in 2020 and 2021, the 2018 Champion has again stepped into the finals. Golden State Warriors has eliminated the Dallas Mavericks during the conference finals with a Game 5 victory.

It was all thanks to the incredible gameplay of Stephen Curry who was later awarded the Most Valuable Player of the Western Conference Finals. He also became the first-ever player to receive the Magic Johnson trophy.

The three-time champion has averaged 23.8 points, 7.4 assists, and 6.6 rebounds against Dallas. During Game 5, he scored 15 points and 9 assists which led to the team’s 120-110 win. The Warriors have played in the NBA Finals for five straight years from 2015 to 2019. When asked whether his past experiences felt similar to this season, he said it’s both yes and no.

“Yes and no,” Stephen said in a postgame interview. “I think just playing on this stage and understanding how composed we were this whole time because of all the series that we’ve been in — especially how we compete and play and win on the road — but it’s also different because it’s a new cast of characters and you have to find new ways to get it done.”

Golden State Warriors

During the team’s celebration, Steph was seen wearing a yellow wristband that says, “In Jesus’ Name I Play.” He has been wearing that band on his left wrist during his previous games, including when he broke the three-point record in December. On his Instagram account, he also gave all the credit for his team’s victory and for his award to God.

Stephen has been known as an outspoken Christian even before he started his career as an athlete. In an episode of “Stephen vs. The Game,” a Facebook series he released in 2019, he talked about his faith and how it is molding him.

“My faith is tested on the court as much as it is in life,” Steph said on the show. “It’s the part that always keeps me focused on what I need to do when it comes to my family when it comes to my job when it comes to how I treat other people, my appreciation for life and all the good things that happen and how to deal with the bad things that happen.”

The Golden State Warriors are scheduled to face the Boston Celtics on June 3 during the NBA Finals Game one.

NBA Star’s Mom Revealed She Almost Aborted Stephen Curry 34 Years Ago

by Christel Berns
written by Christel Berns

Mom of NBA star Stephen Curry reveals she almost chose to abort him when he was still in her womb 34 years ago.

Stephen Curry

Almost everybody knows Stephen Curry—the NBA star who is deemed one of the best players in NBA history. As one of the NBA’s greatest basketball guards, he reached “21 points and 12 rebounds” at the recent Western Conference Finals. More so, he led the Golden State Warriors to its victory in the first game.

Stephen married his wife, Ayesha, in 2011. Today, they have three kids—“two daughters and a son.” With his bold profession about his faith, the NBA star’s impact on fans is undeniable. He never hides the fact that he is a child of God no matter what he is known for, especially in the sports industry.

“People should know who I represent and why I am who I am. And that’s because of my Lord and Savior,” he said.

Displaying Christ’s Love

Further, Stephen not only professes his faith in Jesus, he also shows it through his good works. The NBA star helps other people whenever an opportunity shows up. Like the generous act he did during the pandemic, giving over 15 million free meals to families. It’s just one of the many things the NBA star displayed the love of Christ through his life. And unquestionably, many people have been blessed by his life.

Mom Tried To Abort

Now, Steph’s mother, Sonya, revealed how she almost tried to abort Stephen 34 years ago. In a book that Sonya wrote, she detailed how she prepared to go to the Planned Parenthood clinic and end her pregnancy. It was after she got pregnant again, following one abortion during high school. But thankfully, God intervened, and the Holy Spirit spoke to her not to do it.

“God had a plan for that child,” Sonya said. “There could be no Stephen. If I would have gone through that there would have been no Wardell Stephen Curry II.”

Indeed, God had a plan, seeing how the NBA star is impacting many lives today for God’s glory.

Stephen And Ayesha Curry Have Helped Provide 15 Million Meals Amid Pandemic

by Christa
written by Christa

Stephen and Ayesha Curry have proven that the basketball court is not the only place where they shine. During the pandemic, they have shone their light in the community by providing meals for those in need.

Stephen and Ayesha Curry

The power couple always had in their heart to give back to the community. So, in 2019, they decided to open a new foundation dedicated to children. Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation aims to end hunger for kids, give educational support, and create safe places to play.

Specifically, they have fed approximately 25% of Oakland school children struggling to meet their hunger. But then, the pandemic happened.

Stephen told The Chronicle, “The need has grown exponentially. We’ve seen what COVID has done to the community at large. There’s a steep learning curve, in getting set up to do this work, but we don’t have to work through that.”

He added, “Amidst the uncertainty and chaos, we are in position to make an impact.”

Eat. Learn. Play.

True enough, the foundation partnered with several organizations to meet the demand, from feeding 4,000 families per week to 15,000 families. Today, they have served more than 15 million meals.

“Everything happens for a reason,” Ayesha said. “For us to start in July and then just a few months later have this crisis thrust at our community and be able to keep up with the demand has really been a blessing.”

The Currys partnered with Chef Jose Andres’ World Central Kitchen. What they do is pay for struggling restaurants to serve free meals to families in need. As a result, they have employed more than 900 Oakland workers, putting back $20 million into the local economy.

Anna Shova, WKC’s lead operations, said, “It’s like we’re feeding the restaurants to make sure they can feed the community.”

“Restaurant culture has changed,” she added. “Popular Michelin star restaurants have now asked ‘What else can I do for the community?’ Now, it’s less about being rewarded and more about being closer to the community. People are opening up their eyes.”

Pro Athletes Boldly Testify About Jesus LIVE On TV

by GOD TV
written by GOD TV

God is not only present inside the Church, but all around us. He is with us and He wants to be with us in everything we do, whether we are in our work, in school or even in sports.

Watch this video from A & Ω Productions and be amazed as some remarkable athletes honor God through their chosen sports. It’s so encouraging to see them testify so boldly about Jesus on LIVE TV. What an inspiration they are to so many people, especially those who have lost hope.

Tim Tebow is one of these bold Christian who shares the love of God. He also loses no opportunity to share God’s Word, writing key scriptures on his face including that powerful verse we all know,  John 3:16. Due to this more than 94 million people searched that verse over the Internet. That simple step of faith led so many people to encounter the love of God.

Another sportsman who is not shy about celebrating his Savior is Rocky Seto, a former American football coach, who said in one of his interviews that “Jesus is better than anything… even better than Superbowl!”

Dwight Howard, an American professional basketball player shares how he prays during every game he plays, to keep strong.

Bubba Watson, a bold Christian golfer who plays on the PGA tour, recently testified how he and his wife encountered Jesus and got baptized, on LIVE TV. He is a passionate lover of Jesus and keeps proclaiming His name in interviews.

There are more athletes like Kevin Durran, Ben Watson, Clayton Kershaw, the basketball player Stephen Curry, the boxers George Foreman and Manny Pacquiao, the tennis player Michael Chang and others. All of them bring honor to God through sports. They don’t just play their games for their own victory but also for God’s glory.

And you can also do the same thing in your own way, may it be in business, in entertainment or even in school. You can glorify God in everything that you do. You just have to make Him the center of your life. And he will use you for a greater purpose!

Chrissy Metz Shows What It Means To Break Through For Jesus In Hollywood

by Deborah Armin
written by Deborah Armin

For some of us sharing our faith can be a bit daunting. But what if you’re a Christian in Hollywood? A lot of up and coming actors would be too afraid to share their faith in Jesus for fear of being branded weird and uncool. But more and more are speaking out about their faith.

One such actress is Chrissy Metz, star of the show ‘This is Us’ who recently shared about her faith. Having faced hardships in her personal life, she has found great comfort and solace in Jesus. She recognizes that God is always there for her no matter what and is willing to share that with the world.

A mother’s breakthrough faith

Chrissy has been cast in an upcoming new film ‘Breakthrough’, directed by Stephen Curry due out at Easter. The movie is based on the true story of Joyce and John Smith. All about a mother’s faith and the prayers which brought her son back to life against all odds.

Chrissy talks about how she first reacted to the script: “When I was given the gift of even reading the script, I was so moved by it, because we’re all looking for something greater than ourselves, and we’re all trying to figure it out, and do the best we can in the process,” she said.

She goes on to say that she has had her fair share of tough times and it’s her faith in God that has helped her get through.

BREAKTHROUGH Official Trailer (2019) Drama Movie HD

Help others receive breakthrough

We are all called to share our faith in the Lord:

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20)

And we are encouraged by Pauls words to Timothy:

“For this reason, I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline. So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the Gospel, by the power of God.” (2 Timothy 1:6)

Chrissy Metz has clearly shown she is not ashamed of the Gospel. Being a Christian in Hollywood may bring persecution but whether you’re a believer in the media or a stay at home parent, be encouraged to share your faith. Someone somewhere needs to hear the life-saving Gospel message.
