During the often violent 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 \\u201cWhy I Stand\\u201d that details what led him to make that decision. He says his deep and personal relationship with Jesus Christ inspired him to stand.

\\u201cI tried my best to see it from Christ\\u2019s perspective,\\u201d Isaac explains. \\u201cAnd so, as I looked out and saw what was happening, I didn\\u2019t 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.\\u201d

Isaac joins \\u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\\u201d to chat about his book and how his relationship with God guides his life.
