Walking On, Holding On: Faith, Identity, and the Journey Beyond the Game
In this episode of The Locker Room, Justin Hamm sits down with Jonathan Noel — a former Boston College basketball walk-on — to talk faith, perseverance, and finding identity beyond playing time. Jonathan shares how his parents' radical transformation introduced him to Jesus, how his faith kept him grounded through constant change, and how God redirected his path when he nearly gave up on basketball. From overlooked athlete to spiritual encourager, Jonathan’s story reminds us that our value isn’t in what we do — but in who we belong to. Whether you're chasing a dream or tempted to quit, this conversation will challenge and inspire you to stay connected to God and never give up.
