Wow, I didn't know that Porter Jr. was a Christian. I always admired his natural offensive talent. He's now become one of my favorite players. I'm gonna be rooting hard for him. Believers need to pray that he doesn't turn away from the faith into the world, living the nba life.
Key points
Humbleness is key 🔑
Know your vices 📱
Staying rooted in God 🙏🏽
Relationship over Religion ( Major 🔑 )
Be yourself &Guard your heart ✨
Obedience is better than sacrifice !
Our perception of the faith is what shapes our walk and understanding of him and how he loves us. (“ Really love God and that will change what you wanna do”) I like that one.
Yes every point that you made we find everything in Christ. Christ is #1 before anything else.
Relationship through religion. There is no relationship if you don’t first beleive and have faith in God. Religion is the belief and the worship of God or a diety. So as a Christian that means you are in a religion and you have a relationship through the religion/ belief and faith in Christ.
@@homekey1584 religion *is religion* & Being a Christ follower *is a relationship* with Jesus the Lord and Savior.
@@James_follows_Christ if you beleive in Jesus then you are part of a religion. That religion( Christianity) involves you having a relationship with Jesus but it doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s a religion.
YEAAAA Mike. and as a nugget fan and a christian i need more of this
In an age where most children want to rappers and professional basketball players are only exposed to what they see... the fame and glory. We need more Christians doing stuff like this 🙌🏽!! Thank you for stepping out of the NBA spotlight to give God the spotlight. I hope and pray God gives you strength to continue fighting the good fight.
Yo MPJ I never knew you were Christian bro, if I were to know this back in 2020 when the nuggets was playing in the bubble against the lakers in the WCF I would’ve been cheering for your team 😂💪🏻. Anyways my brother I pray you get back healthy in Jesus name and I also pray that you share your faith throughout the league as you are called to preach the gospel and share your testimony of what Jesus has done for you. My name is Abraham nice to meet you bro. Keep up your faith in Jesus who is the way the truth and the life. 💪🏻🙏🏻
Wow this nurtured my spirit. “How close am I to God” in certain situations. Going to be using that in conversations. I feel the wisdom & humility. SO GOOD 🙌🏽
Michael Porter Jr is a true Christian. A truth seeker. Someone who questions things and is not brainwashed by the media. I love that about him. Just a really good person. God will always bless you. Keep up with the faith. You’re one of my favorite basketball players in the NBA and one of my favorites as a human. I wish I can meet you one day!
Man not even 2 minutes in and I get a whole sermon! “You don’t wake up humble. You have to chase humility.” 🤭😮👏🏾
It's deep man. I love it
bro I'm from Brazil, I started to like basketball because of you, you are my inspiration of the day, thank you bro and continue being this amazing player and person you are.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Man, I'm so impressed with this conversation. I've sent this around to as many young athletes that I can. My sons are watching it now. THANK YOU for having such an open an honest conversation. Don't ever back down from your faith....
Mike is really a HOOPER not just a basketball player. I need more of this!!
So true! And a Christian too
I am very proud of this. I really hope the younger generation of athletes listen closely to your channel. You can do it, MPjr. Remember your vows before the Lord.
First off, I'm LOVING this! Starting off with Lecrae and talking about God hit in a whole other way and really led off with how this is going! 2 well known pro's sitting and having an open conversation about the Lord 🙌🙌🙌 Second, thank you for bringing up the drinking and smoking aspect. I have many conversations with people about this and it was nice to hear these perspectives 🙏🙏 Can't wait for the next!
Been waitin on this! YEAH MIKE
Look at pote man. NICE
When Lecrae gave the analogy about bringing food on the boat when it’s already paid for……🤯🤯🤯I felt that
MPJ don’t ever stop this my new favorite podcast
When you spend so much time on the truth, you don’t care for the lies…… Love God with all your heart and your desires change!!!
Huge fan mike! Great show and looking forward to more. I’m watching this in the bus on the way to camp
This vid was great Mike thanks for starting the channel
This is awesome Mike. Great to see this conversation with Lecrae.
Love you Mike, keep up the great effort on and off the court!!
Love this conversation I’m to see that young people still want to know Christ
Thank you both for this!! Great convo.
Thank you Mike for talking about your faith💛
Keep it up!! This was so interesting to watch:)
God Bless🙏
You asked really great questions 👏🏽 I love this!!!!
I love the way you both are free in this conversation❤. Also, this brings clarity.✌🏽
Yessir, thanks you Michael, and thank you Lecrae
This was great. I didn’t even know Michael porter jr. was on timing like this.
Thanks MPJ for putting this out!! 👍
I appreciated your authenticity and vulnerability. That invites people in to be curious with you. Thank you.
Yes! A supernatural power within me. I felt that‼️
So good!! Can’t wait for more!
This interview is dope, answered a lot of questions I had regarding my early faith journey. Thank you 🙏🏾
I love this!!!!!
This is awesome, it’s nice to know that I’m not alone in certain viewpoints 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great discussion Mike! Looking forward to the next episode.
This is great! Keep doing it bro! Watching you from El Salvador, Central America
WOW WOW WOW! I literally love this episode. God bless you so much guys!
Thanks Mike for sharing some of your faith. I know as an NBA player it's tough to be vocal about these things. Much love man.
unashamed. love this new podcast MPJ, Nuggets winning a championship next!!
I'm a Christian too, I've admired you Mike since you started playing on college 'cause you're a great hooper. Then when I found out that you're Christian, I thought you might be another comercial Christian that becomes christian only to get followers or something, but I then started watching your videos in CZcams like 1 Day in the life of MPJ and your tweets about George Floyd, and that's when I realized you're authentic. And I thank God now for your life MPJ, pleased keep doing this kind of content, your one my heroes now man, inside and outside the court bro
MPJ using his platform to highlight deep & important convos on life is one of the best things on the internet 💯
Much respect for this channel, this is the content that truly makes an impact 🙏
Good job Mike! Keep it up.
Craeeeeee and MPJ!!!! Dope link up
yea they droppin knowledge Fs fs 🤝
Amazing to have Lecrae on the podcast
Solid discussion! Keep spreading gods love and teaching people about jesus!
I’m loving this
Wow! That was such a impactful view of Christianity and how to live in freedom! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Well done! Super interesting podcast keep it up!!
You are one of your favorite basketball players.
I don't understand English very well, but this video is very interesting.I am cheering from Japan🇯🇵
We support you Mike
Please bro keep making videos like these it is very helpful
This was excellent.
This is awesome bro God bless you I see that ur hungry keep seeking and u will find
YEAH MIKE!!!!💥💥💥
Super bless talk 🙌🏽🙏🏽👌🏽
Thank you.
Wow man. I honestly didn't expect you to be Christian. Stand up man! As a Blazers fan, I respect you so much and now you have become one of my favorite players.
Keep doing this MP, mad dudes need to experience God on a personal level like this ….
Good content. Hope it the 1st of many.
I like to make this contribution. I'm sure based on points that was shared by you both, we can agree man is a spiritual being. Just as we can only effect the things of God by time we spend in His presence so too time spent in the presence of ungodliness affects our behaviour. Proverb says evil communication corrupts good morals & Psalms says blessed are they who dwell not in the counsel of the ungodly. Though a Christ-like life isn't by any means one of isloation still, we have to manage our environment as we can be influenced. We are on our way to safety, so until we arrive we must be careful. Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he falls. Keep doing a good work and don't come down. This will be in my prayers. Grace & peace!
Great interview MPJ
Great points. Religion is a search for a God you're not sure exists. Faith is realizing that God is all that ever was, is, and will ever be.
… woa this was so good!!
I loved this. I remember when I was like 16. And I remember MIke saying that he wants to use Basketball to spread the Gospel. That really inspired me. I love this podcast
Word? How long ago was that
Love this
Blessed by this. Thank you for sharing. One small nugget, please make sure to examine the religiosity of the world around us. Western culture possesses competing forms dead religion that may not acknowledge God at all. Rest in the King, bro. Congrats on the ring.
🔥 fans of both
Wow this is so dope, such an interesting conversation! Had to subscribe 🤞
FINALLY!!❤
Dang, this is so helpful
LETS GOOOO!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
It's nice to see an authentic Christian in the NBA. The devil is the ruler of this world. People will always hate the Truth because the world hates Jesus (no matter the timing). Keep standing up for the Truth. God Bless you!
Chase humility
💎
Jesus Saves.. God bless you and continue to stand on your faith.
This was dope
Go Mike,
Go Mike! 😎
YESSS!!!
Stay on the nuggets forever please🙏🙏🙏
37:25 He’s right about the New Age stuff. That is growing and we need to be on the lookout to not be swayed by it.
This will be interesting.
I totally agree, I think social media is so toxic and stay away from it..unless it’s to stay informed in an issue it’s one of the many problems plaguing society today.
Fax 💯
I don't have a religion, I have my own relationship with God. I try to do good. Help people and think positive and don't push out hate. I'm not on social media. However, I think a lot of people don't have no faith at all which is why there's so much evil out there, but also remember there's a lot of good its just overshadowed
It’s interesting that some people say they take psychedelics, and after the experience find themselves closer to God and more in tune with nature. Would’ve been an interesting question to hear discussed as well.
It's simple. I see Lecrae, I click.
About humility I think we must understand that it's not belittling yourself. It's more about to know your strengths and weaknesses and don't overvalue neither undervalue yourself.
It's like if Steph says : I'm the best 3pt shooter... Is it pride or just a fact? Or Jeff Bezos saying he is rich not bragging about that. Jesus wasn't silent about who he was so...
It had to happen 🤝✨
Desde México 💚💚💚
My guy!!
México fan ❤❤❤❤
yeah MIKE
Excellent questions, great answers--honestly. Would love to talk with you one day about Christ-centric worldview, and reasons for belief in the historicity of the gospel, etc.
Although I think the tendency to take "last days" as almost too literal is kinda sensationalism. Because wars and rumors of wars were certainly also prevalent in medieval times, cultures treating evil practices as good by virtue of an appeal to popularity has been going on for several thousands of years, etc.
Like according to Genesis, we're still even in the 7th day (that 7th "day" never ended), so I wouldn't read into the availability of worldwide depravity as an indication of recent times getting worse. People have always been out of line haha.
mpj 🥺💙
Fans México 😻💚💚
Lets gooooooo
Desde México ❤❤❤❤❤
Sheeeeeesh
Doing God's work
Yessir🔥
Christian hooper🙌🙌🙌
