Chapter 2: What inspired Dwight Howard’s faith journey and early life story?

1894.788 - 1919.003 Dwight Howard

That's one thing as an NBA player that once I started doing more of it, my life just became a lot more peaceful. Getting alone. Why? Because that is how you can hear the voice of God. There's no other spirits or energies around you While you're in the presence of God. Yeah.

1919.143 - 1942.538 Dwight Howard

So, you know, that's the, that's one of the things that, you know, really has helped me out in my journey, getting alone, how I can hear when God says I need to do something. Yeah. Okay. This is God's voice. It's not the devil. It's not my own ego telling me to do this. And the way you can hear that is you've got to be alone so you can hear the voice of God. I remember the first time it happened.

1944.741 - 1983.201 Dwight Howard

People thought I was crazy. I was asking God, what do you want me to do with my life? What is my purpose? And it was a Friday evening, probably around what time? We had a Bible study at 730. This had to be around 435 o'clock. I'm in the house by myself. And I'm like, God, what is it that you do with my life? Like, what purpose? Please tell me. So I heard a voice calling my name.
