How we can be used by God for His good and perfect purpose
George Shinn is a Charlotte entrepreneur, former owner of the Charlotte and New Orleans Hornets, and the man who brought an NBA franchise to North Carolina. He co-authored Full Court Faith with Don Yaeger.
His story runs from small-town North Carolina to NBA owner. He takes responsibility for his mistakes and gives God the credit. Published by Maxwell Leadership in 2025, the book is about how the Lord uses pain, joy, failure, and triumph for His good and perfect purpose.
“God has done many wonderful things in my life—but the biggest things aren’t the accomplishments I used to take the most pride in.”

The Foreword
Foreword by Franklin Graham
President and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse
Graham writes that George shares “the thrill of action on the court, the horrors of humiliation in the court of law, and the realization that God will take it all and shape people’s ‘full court faith.’”
The Tour
Five free evenings in North Carolina churches
George will speak at five North Carolina churches, at no cost to the church. He comes, shares his story, and the church can give copies of Full Court Faith. Churches apply. Five will be chosen.
Five churches
A handful of congregations across North Carolina — not a statewide calendar of cities. Apply, and five will be selected.
No speaker fee
The evening is free to the church. There are no ticket sales and no charge for George to come and speak.
Books given freely
We ask congregation size so the tour can plan a free book giveaway — enough copies for your people that night.
