Exclusive Interview: Jaden Ivey Speaks On Faith, Mental Health, NBA | PinPoint Podcast Ep. 32 4/1/26

On the PinPoint Podcast, Jaden Ivey opens up about his journey from chasing basketball and battling hidden sin to becoming a born-again Christian—and how faith reshaped his life, marriage, and purpose. He addresses the headlines surrounding his release from Chicago Bulls, explains why he believes speaking biblical truth brought backlash, and responds to claims about his mental health. Jaden also shares where things stand physically with his rehab, whether he still wants to play professionally, and why he’s committed to preaching the gospel no matter the cost.
