‘Thank You, Jesus’: WNBA Star Shares Heartwarming Post Of ‘Amazing’ Baptism Experience

She shared video of her recent re-baptism, along with a brief testimony about what led her to the decision.

Here’s what Breitbart reported:

In a video on TikTok, Cunningham was seen being baptized at Christ’s Church of the Valley, located in Peoria, Arizona.

“I got baptized when I was little, but I was feeling a tug on my heart to do it on my terms as an adult!” Cunningham wrote in the post. “Such a fun, amazing day. Thank you, Jesus.”

As the Daily Mail explained, the ceremony came at a pivotal point in her career with the Indiana Fever:

Indiana confirmed she had rejoined the team on Sunday afternoon, with the one-year deal meaning she will line up alongside close friend Caitlin Clark again in 2026.

In a statement on the Fever’s website, Cunningham said: ‘We had a really special group last year and it was an incredible first season for me in Indy; I loved everything about my teammates and the Fever organization.

‘We fought through a ton of adversity, and it was important to me that we have a chance to see through what we started.
