Faith Under Fire: Jaden Ivey, the NBA, and a Culture That No Longer Tolerates Christian Conviction
Jaden Ivey didn’t protest. He didn’t disrupt. He simply spoke about his faith—and that was enough to get him pushed out. In a country that once stood “under God,” his story raises a bigger question: is faith still free… or only tolerated when it stays quiet?

My background education has trained me to analyze systems, to study behavior, and to understand how institutions evolve over time. What that lens has made undeniably clear is this:
