Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac has a simple message for anyone who thinks church is optional: go to church.

"I see the evidence of, God, when I put you first, you got me. And every time, in every way that I don't put you first, I see the results that I've gotten. And so church is absolutely necessary. It's a command at the end of the day. Forsake not the assembling of yourselves together. So I see the need of a pastor in my life. I see the need of being under the word and in the church."

That is not a suggestion. That is a man who has lived both sides of that equation and knows which one produces fruit.

In a culture that has replaced Sunday morning with a scroll through social media, where people consume spiritual content alone on a screen instead of sitting under a pastor, in a pew, with a body of believers, Isaac is saying plainly: that is not the same thing. You need a pastor. You need the Word preached over you. You need the church.

He also gave one of the most practical arguments for church attendance you will ever hear. "I met my wife in church, so go to church. Yeah, go to church, all those single great people out there."

And when asked what his NBA teammates think about his faith, he did not hesitate. "I think that my teammates have a respect for me because they have seen and understand that it's not something that I'm doing for show or for accolades or for praise in any way. I try my best to diligently live my life in a way that I think God has called me to, and they respect it."

That is the testimony that matters. Not the one you perform for the cameras. The one your teammates see every single day in the locker room.

"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching" (Hebrews 10:25).
When is the last time you were in church?

This is what it looks like when someone refuses to treat church as optional. Jonathan Isaac is not telling people to watch a sermon online or follow a Christian account. He is telling people to get in a building, sit under a pastor, and be part of a body. He has a pastor in his life. He is under the Word. He met his wife in church. And his teammates respect him not because he performs his faith but because he lives it every single day. Pray for Jonathan Isaac and pray for more believers who understand that church is not a preference. It is a command.

After the final whistle, Jonathan Tah and Nmecha joined hands with the Curaçao players to pray together. This is why we love the game of football. ❤️🙏

What?!
Completely unacceptable.
This is my city, too, and as someone who works with school kids in the city, I completely condemn this.
These fans just hurt the kids we serve.

We went from 0 to 2,200 paying customers in under a year by following @ycombinator's 15 rules:

1/ Do things that don't scale. Get your first 10 customers by hand.

2/ Launch now, not when it's "ready". A mediocre product in front of real users teaches you more in a week than 6 months of polishing in the dark.

3/ Charge from day one. If nobody will pay, you don't have a startup, you have a hobby.

4/ Talk to users every single day. The roadmap you need is sitting in your customers' heads, and they'll hand it to you for free

5/ Always hunt the 90/10 solution. For almost any feature there's a way to capture 90% of the value with 10% of the effort.

6/ There are only two real jobs: write code and talk to users. Everything else (conferences, press, VC coffees, corp dev calls) is fake work.

7/ You pick your customers as much as they pick you. 10 users who love you beat 1,000 who kind of like you.

8/ Growth is an output, not a strategy. Grow before product market fit and all you're buying is churn.

9/ Do less, really well. Pick one or two metrics and judge every task against them.

10/ Know if you're default alive. Paul Graham's question: on current growth and current burn, do you reach profitability before the money runs out?

11/ Don't hire until it hurts. Headcount is not progress, it's burn. Every great startup was embarrassingly small for embarrassingly long.

12/ Momentum is the only real moat in year one. Ship something every week, even something tiny.

13/ Every great startup is badly broken at some point. The game isn't avoiding fires, it's how fast you put them out. Again. And again

14/ Ignore your competitors. Startups die of suicide, not murder. In year one, the only company that can kill yours is your own

15/ Startups rarely die from running out of money. They die because the founders fall out. Brutal honesty with your cofounder is the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy

Good luck !
