AJ Griffin Leaves NBA to Pursue Full-Time Ministry

AJ Griffin captured national attention after stepping away from professional basketball at just 21 years old to answer a call into full-time Christian ministry.

Once a first-round NBA draft pick, Griffin has been open about laying down the game he loved in order to follow Jesus—choosing obedience to his faith and God’s calling over fame, financial gain, and a promising career, as he now devotes his life to sharing the Gospel.
