Veteran WNBA player Sophie Cunningham, an outspoken Christian, recently assured podcaster Theo Von<\/a> of God\u2019s unconditional love, grace, and forgiveness. When Von admitted he often wishes his \u201cconnection\u201d with God were stronger, Cunningham said, \u201cThere\u2019s nothing that you can or can\u2019t do that\u2019s going to separate you from God\u2019s love and grace and forgiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Indiana Fever guard, who emphasized that her message was for everyone listening, continued, \u201cThat\u2019s why Jesus came and died on the cross, because he already knew everything you were going to do\u2026You\u2019re already forgiven.\u201d<\/p>\n

On \u201cThis Past Weekend w\/ Theo Von,\u201d Cunningham fielded lots of questions about drama in the WNBA. The 30-year-old basketball player said she\u2019s \u201cused to\u201d it, adding, \u201cAt the end of the day, we\u2019re in an entertainment business.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Cunningham dodged questions about her personal life, she assured Von she won\u2019t go on OnlyFans<\/a> or \u201cLove Island.\u201d The athlete used to be \u201cone foot in, one foot out with my faith,\u201d she said, but now she\u2019s \u201ctwo feet in\u201d and determined to stay that way.<\/p>\n

Sophie Cunningham: \u2018I Rely a Lot on My Faith\u2019<\/p>\n

Sophie Cunningham, now an unrestricted free agent, was a basketball standout at the University of Missouri. Raised Catholic and baptized as a child, she chose to be rebaptized<\/a> as an adult, saying she felt \u201ca tug on my heart to do it on my terms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week, Cunningham told podcaster Theo Von she\u2019s now a non-denominational Christian without a home church. \u201cI love Jesus and\u2026I rely a lot on my faith because of what I do for a living,\u201d she said. \u201cIt just keeps me stable, and it keeps me to be who I am. I don\u2019t care what people\u2019s opinions are about me because I\u2019m not living for their praise.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Cunningham said she\u2019d heard that Von was becoming interested in faith, the comedian said more of his friends are, too. Von admitted his connection with God weakens unless he\u2019s \u201cprayed up.\u201d<\/p>\n

That tends to happen when people get busy, Cunningham replied, advising, \u201cYou just got to prioritize the good.\u201d The two compared maintaining a relationship with God to needing to charge your phone when the battery gets low.<\/p>\n
