122: Michael Loney from Freedom Hoops and his One Good Thing

June 30, 2023 • Matt Fulks/Michael Loney • Season 1 • Episode 122

This week on the C-10 Podcast, we're featuring a "One Good Thing" chat with Michael Loney, the founder of Freedom Hoops, a basketball ministry in the urban core of Kansas City.

Michael founded Freedom Hoops in 2014 alongside friend and mentor Kevin Kacy of Freedom Fire. Throughout his career, basketball seemed to promise fulfillment but God used basketball to teach Michael to solely boast in Christ. He has a passion to follow Christ, romance his wife each day, point his sons to Jesus, and to use basketball and the gospel to disciple and transform urban youth to know God.

In this conversation, Michael talks about going from small-town Iowa to a career setback that led to founding Freedom Hoops. And much more.
