More Than Brothers: The Day Jesus Used Steph Curry

Tears silently ran down Steph Curry’s face as he held his younger brother Seth’s hand in the living room of the house where they had both grown up. The silence in the room was the kind that only happens when something deeply sacred is being shared between people who love each other unconditionally.

“Bro,” Steph managed to say, his choked voice carrying the weight of a revelation that had just forever changed his understanding about divine purpose. “I never knew… never imagined that God was…”

To understand what had so deeply touched the heart of basketball’s greatest shooter, we need to go back a few hours, to a simple family gathering that became the scene for one of the most powerful testimonies about how Jesus works through the people we love.

It was a Saturday afternoon in November in Charlotte, North Carolina. The golden autumn painted the trees around the Curry house with that beauty only God can create, as if nature itself was preparing the scene for something special. Steph had flown in from San Francisco specifically for this moment. There were no games, no professional commitments—just family, just quality time with the people who mattered most in his life. Have you ever felt that peace that comes from being in the right place at the right time with the right people? That peace hovered over the Curry house that afternoon, as if the Holy Spirit was preparing hearts for something extraordinary.

Dell Curry, the family patriarch, was in his favorite armchair, watching his two sons with that silent pride only fathers can express. Sonia Curry, the woman of unshakable faith who had raised two champions not only in basketball but in life, was preparing afternoon coffee with the love that seasons all maternal meals.

“You know,” said Seth, gently breaking the comfortable silence that enveloped the family. “I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how God works in our lives—how He uses people, uses moments, even uses pain to shape us.”

Steph looked at his brother with that special attention we reserve for people about to share something important. You could feel that Seth was gathering courage to open a part of his heart rarely exposed.

Sonia approached with that maternal intuition that always knew when a child needed encouragement. “What’s in your heart, my son?”

Seth took a deep breath, like someone about to dive into deep waters of the soul. “Mom, Dad, Steph—you know me. You know I’ve always tried to be strong, always tried to deal with things alone. But there was a period in my career that… that almost broke me.”

Steph leaned forward, his attention completely focused on his brother. They had spent their entire lives sharing courts, dreams, and victories, but had rarely shared the deepest struggles of their souls.

“I’m talking about that period with the constant injuries,” continued Seth, his voice gaining a vulnerability that touched each person in the room. “When it seemed like every time I was progressing, something would knock me down again. When criticism came from all sides, saying I would never be anything more than the little brother.”

He paused, glancing at Steph. “Have you ever gone through a period where you felt God had forgotten about you?”

Seth was about to share what it was like to walk through that dark valley of the soul. “There was a specific night,” he said, and it was impossible not to feel something deep was being unlocked in his spirit. “A night when I was in my apartment, alone, staring at the ceiling, and wondering if I should just give up on everything.”

The silence in the room intensified. It wasn’t discomfort—it was the sacred quiet that happens when we know we’re about to hear something that will change our understanding about faith, family, and divine purpose.

“That night,” continued Seth, “I did something I hadn’t done in a long time. I stopped trying to be strong. I stopped trying to solve everything alone and simply prayed.”

Dell Curry discreetly wiped away a tear. Sonia placed her hand on her heart, recognizing the tone of a genuine testimony that was about to touch heaven.

“But it wasn’t a polite prayer,” Seth smiled through the emotion. “It was one of those desperate prayers, like, ‘Jesus, if you’re really there, I need to know. I need a sign that I’m not walking alone on this journey.’”

Steph felt his own heart accelerate, not knowing why. There was something in Seth’s expression that suggested this story was just beginning—and that somehow, he was about to discover he was part of it in a way he never imagined.

“Great things happen when we stop trying to control our story and let God show us how He’s writing something much bigger than we can see,” Seth said.

“What happened next?” Steph whispered.

Seth looked at him with an intensity that made his older brother’s heart race. “It changed not only my faith, but my entire understanding of how Jesus works through the people we love. And in that moment, Steph, you still didn’t know you were about to discover how you had been used by God in a way that would leave you in tears of gratitude and admiration for divine love.”

Seth closed his eyes as if gathering strength to revisit a period he’d rather forget. When he opened them, there was a vulnerability rarely seen on the face of a professional athlete.

“Do you remember the 2019–2020 season?” he asked, especially addressing Steph. “When I was with the Dallas Mavericks and it seemed like my body was simply falling apart?”

Steph nodded, remembering that period with a pang of guilt. He’d been so focused on his own season with the Warriors that perhaps he hadn’t given the necessary attention to his brother’s silent suffering.

“It was like I was trapped in a cycle that never ended,” continued Seth, “injury, recovery, hope, another injury. And with each cycle, the voices got louder. Social media was constant torture—comments saying I’d never be more than a cheap copy of Steph, that I was in the NBA only because of the Curry surname.”

He paused. “The worst wasn’t even the public criticism. The worst was what happened when I was alone in my apartment at 3:00 a.m., staring at the ceiling and wondering if God had forgotten about me.”

Dell Curry leaned forward, recognizing in his younger son the same internal struggle he himself had faced. The difference was that Seth was brave enough to talk about it.

“There was a specific night,” Seth continued, and everyone in the room instinctively leaned closer. “March 15th, 2020. I remember the exact date because it was the night that changed my life forever. I had just learned I would need another surgery—the fifth in two years. And that night, after hanging up the phone with the doctor, something inside me simply broke.”

Seth paused, and Steph could see tears forming in his brother’s eyes. It was devastatingly rare to see Seth cry, which made the moment even more sacred.

“I knelt on the floor of my living room,” Seth said, his voice almost a whisper. “And for the first time in months, I stopped trying to be strong. I stopped trying to solve everything alone and simply cried out to Jesus.”

What’s most impressive is how our most powerful prayers are often born from our most desperate moments.

“It wasn’t a beautiful prayer,” Seth smiled through tears. “It was raw and desperate. I said, ‘Jesus, if you’re really there, if you really care about me, I need to know. I need a sign that I’m not walking alone in this darkness.’”

Sonia Curry covered her face, recognizing the tone of a prayer that comes from the deepest place of the human soul.

“I said specifically,” Seth continued, looking directly at Steph, “Lord, I need to know that you see me, that I’m not just the little brother, that I have purpose, that I have value in your eyes.”

Steph felt something stir in his chest, a memory trying to emerge, but he still couldn’t connect the dots.

“And then I said something I had never said before in a prayer,” Seth took a deep breath. “I said, ‘Jesus, if you want to use someone to show me you’re there, let it be through a word of encouragement I would never expect to receive.’”

How many times do we ask God for specific signs, not knowing He’s already preparing the answer through the people we love most?

“That night,” said Seth, “I slept more deeply than I had in months, as if I had finally handed over all the weight to someone greater than me.”

“But what happened the next day?” Steph asked.

Seth looked at him with an intensity that made his older brother hold his breath. “It wasn’t just an answer to my prayer. It was a demonstration of how Jesus uses the people we love as His own hands and voice. Steph, on March 16th, 2020, at 2:47 in the afternoon, you called me.”

Steph frowned, trying to remember. It was March 2020—the beginning of the pandemic, chaos in the NBA season, a thousand different worries.

“I called?” Steph asked, genuinely confused. “I don’t remember exactly.”

“Exactly,” said Seth, smiling through tears. “You don’t remember because for you it was just a casual call. But for me, it was Jesus answering a desperate prayer in a way I never could have imagined.”

Seth began to tell exactly what Steph had said in that call—words Steph didn’t remember speaking, but which had been the exact answer a desperate brother had asked Jesus for just hours before.

“You called at 2:47 in the afternoon,” Seth said, as if every detail had been engraved in his heart forever. “And the first thing you said was, ‘Brother, I was praying this morning, and God put you on my heart. I needed to call to tell you something.’”

Steph frowned, a vague memory emerging, like light piercing through fog.

“You said,” continued Seth, his voice choked, “‘Seth, I know things have been difficult for you. I know the injuries have been hard, but God showed me something about you that I need to share. You’re not just the little brother. You have a unique purpose that only you can fulfill. God sees you. He values you. And He’s not finished writing your story.’”

Tears formed in Steph’s eyes. He was beginning to remember not just the words, but the strange feeling he’d had that morning, as if something was compelling him to call Seth.

“But the most incredible part,” said Seth, his own voice breaking, “was when you said, ‘Bro, I don’t know why I need to tell you this now, but I feel like God wants you to know that you’re not walking alone. He’s using even your pain to prepare you for something greater.’”

Sonia began crying silently, recognizing God’s hand working through her children in a way she had prayed to see her whole life. Steph covered his face, the memories returning like a flood—the urgent feeling, the inexplicable need to call, the words that had come out as if they weren’t his.

“Steph,” said Seth, standing and kneeling before his brother, “that day, Jesus didn’t just answer my prayer. He used you—His own hands and voice—to reach me at my lowest point.”

Tears now flowed freely down Steph’s face. He was understanding something that transcended coincidence or chance. He was seeing how God had orchestrated a divine moment through his unconscious obedience to the voice of the Holy Spirit.

“You were Christ to me that day,” said Seth, his voice almost a reverent whisper. “Without knowing, without planning, you became God’s literal answer to a desperate brother.”

Steph looked at Seth through the tears, his voice breaking. “Seth, I remember now. I remember waking up that morning and feeling something strange in my spirit, like someone was nudging me to call you.”

“Exactly!” exclaimed Seth, radiant. “It was the Holy Spirit guiding you. You were obedient to a voice you didn’t even know you were hearing.”

Dell Curry stood and walked to his sons, placing a hand on each one’s shoulder. “Boys,” he said, his own voice choked, “you just showed me how God works in ways we can never fully comprehend.”

“But there’s more,” said Seth, looking directly at Steph. “After that call, everything changed. Not just my perspective about the injuries, but my entire understanding of who I am in God’s eyes. Those words you spoke—Jesus’s words through you—gave me strength to face the surgery, gave me hope to keep fighting, showed me that my identity isn’t in being compared to you, but in being exactly who God called me to be.”

Steph was sobbing now, not from sadness, but from an overwhelming gratitude for having been used by God in such an intimate and powerful way.

“And you know what’s most incredible?” said Seth, smiling through his own tears. “Since that day, I started praying for God to use me the same way He used you. So I can be Jesus to someone who’s desperate, without even knowing I’m being used.”

In that moment, Steph understood something that would forever change his way of living. Great things happen when we allow God to use us as instruments of His grace, even when we don’t realize we’re being used.

“Seth,” Steph managed to say, hugging his brother with a strength that carried years of love and a new understanding about divine purpose, “thank you for showing me how Jesus works through us when we simply say yes to His Spirit.”

And there, in that simple room in Charlotte, two brothers discovered together a truth that would change not only their own lives but the lives of everyone who would hear this story: that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things, especially when they don’t even know they’re being used.

The embrace between the Curry brothers lasted several minutes. It was the kind of embrace that seemed to touch eternity. You could feel that something had fundamentally changed in that room—not just between Seth and Steph, but in the entire family’s understanding of how God works through unconditional love.

When they finally separated, Steph still had tears in his eyes. But now they were tears of a gratitude so deep it transformed pain into purpose, confusion into clarity, and coincidence into miracle.

Seth said, “You didn’t just show me how God answered your prayer. You showed me how He can use any of us when we simply remain available to His Spirit.” Sonia approached her sons, enveloping them in a maternal embrace that carried decades of answered prayers.

“Boys,” she said, her voice broken with emotion, “you just gave me the greatest gift a mother can receive—seeing her children discover how God uses them to bless each other.”

Dell Curry discreetly wiped away a tear, recognizing that he had just witnessed something that would forever change the spiritual dynamics of his family.

What just happened here, he said, is the kind of testimony that echoes through generations.

In the weeks that followed, something extraordinary began to happen in Steph Curry’s life. He began paying attention to the moments when he felt that spiritual nudge to call someone, send an encouraging message, or simply offer a kind word. “It’s incredible,” Steph shared with Ayesha one night, “how now I can recognize when the Holy Spirit is guiding me to be Jesus to someone. It’s like Seth gave me eyes to see what had always been happening.”

Seth, in turn, found a new freedom in his career. Injuries continued to exist—after all, he was still a professional athlete—but his perspective had been completely transformed. Each obstacle became an opportunity to testify about a God who uses even our pain to prepare miracles.

Three months later, Seth was with his new team when a young teammate approached him in the locker room. “Seth,” the young man said, “you seem to have a peace I’ve never seen in anyone. How do you do it? How do you deal with the pressure, the criticism, everything?”

Seth smiled, immediately recognizing God’s hand in that moment. “Let me tell you about the day my brother was used by Jesus to save me—without even knowing he was being used.”

And there, in that locker room, Seth shared the testimony that Steph had made possible. The words flowed naturally, carrying the same transformative power that had touched his own heart months before.

Six months later, Steph received an unexpected call. It was the young player who had heard Seth’s testimony. “Mr. Curry,” he said, “I wanted you to know that story your brother told me changed my life. I gave my heart to Jesus, and now I’m also paying attention when God wants to use me to encourage other people.”

Steph hung up the phone with tears in his eyes again, but this time he knew exactly what they meant. They were tears of someone who had understood that great things happen when we allow our stories to become bridges for others to discover Christ’s transformative love.

One year after that afternoon in Charlotte, the story spread organically—not because it was publicized or promoted, but because powerful truths have a way of echoing from heart to heart. Pastors began sharing the Curry brothers’ testimony in sermons about how God uses ordinary people. Young athletes found hope in Seth’s journey through pain. Families discovered a new way to see how God works through the relationships they already possess.

In a later interview, when asked about the most important moment of his career, Steph Curry surprised everyone with his answer. “It wasn’t any of the championships, any of the records, any of the awards,” he said, his eyes shining with deep conviction. “It was the day I discovered that Jesus had used me to answer my brother’s desperate prayer—without me even knowing I was being used. That day taught me that our greatest victory isn’t what we manage to do for ourselves, but how God can use us to touch other people’s lives, especially the people we love most.”

Seth, watching the interview from home, smiled through tears of gratitude. Not just because his story had inspired millions, but because he had seen his older brother discover a truth that would forever change his way of living: that being used by God is the greatest privilege a human being can have.

And so, that simple afternoon in Charlotte became the beginning of something much bigger. A family discovered how God works through unconditional love. Two brothers learned that their relationships are sacred channels for divine grace. And the world received a powerful reminder that Jesus still uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things.

Steph Curry’s tears that day weren’t just from emotion. They were from recognition—recognition that he had been chosen by God to be Jesus to his brother at the exact moment he needed it most. And that is the most beautiful definition of family that exists: people whom God uses to answer each other’s prayers, often without even knowing they’re being used.
