The Paula Faris 'Faith & Calling' Podcast

Ep 19 - Jay Williams: Why not you?


Listen Later

This month we're kicking off a series of episodes honoring Dads! First up, ESPN Analyst and former professional basketball player Jay Williams joins Paula to talk about overcoming a devastating motorcycle accident as his career in the NBA was just getting started, and how he eventually shifted his mindset from asking "why me?" to "why not me?".
