NBA Basketball Player Jaden Ivey Preaches the Gospel From Beginning to End Like a Truly Born-Again-Saved Man and More Fully Than Any Professional Athlete Since Reggie White. Glory be to God!
Daniel Whyte III, President of Gospel Light Society International, says this young outstanding basketball player, Jaden Ivey, only 23 years old, preached the complete, Glorious Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ in front of a worldwide audience, more clearly and more powerfully than over 60% of the pastors in the pulpit today, who often times do not preach it at all and if they do, they do not preach it clearly. Whyte tells Jaden Ivey, if God is calling you to preach, go ahead and accept the call. Everything will be all right.
Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey recently proclaimed that “Jesus is coming back” and attributed his strong athletic performance to divine intervention.
In a postgame press conference following his team’s victory against the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday, the 22-year-old Ivey spoke about his 34-point performance. The former Purdue University standout said he is “going to work every single day, trusting my shot, trusting my work.”
Insisting that “it’s paying off,” Ivey proclaimed, “I give all the glory to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for giving me these gifts.”
The NBA player expressed gratitude for the opportunity to “glorify Him in Heaven.” He repeatedly brought up his Christian faith throughout his remarks.
“I sow the seed every day and just continue to trust God … to … grow my game,” he said.
He concluded the press conference by quoting John 14:6 and offering a message of hope.
“I just want to say that Jesus is the way, the truth, the life. And to … any of … the world that’s hearing this message, the kingdom of Heaven is near,” he added. “Jesus is coming back, and we all have to repent for our sins and … we have to put our faith in Jesus.”
“He will come back when you least expect it,” Ivey continued. “It’s time to wake up if you haven’t put your faith in Jesus Christ.”
Thursday’s postgame press conference is not the first time Ivey has spoken publicly about his faith.
In a 2022 interview with Andscape, the then-college basketball player said, “I can only thank God for all the blessings that I have and that I still have yet to receive.”
Ivey shared that he aspired to play NBA, describing his mindset at the time as “just day by day, just trying to get better, staying patient with God’s plan.”
