In this episode, Justin is joined by Jim Johnson to discuss 2 Chronicles 1–20, Philippians 3–4, and Colossians 1–4. Together they explore how Chronicles bridges the Old Testament story to the coming of Jesus, what Philippians teaches about joy, contentment, humility, and living worthy of the gospel, and how Colossians gives us one of the clearest pictures of the supremacy and sufficiency of Christ.

What if your greatest obstacle is actually your greatest qualification?This week, Jon Goehring and Coach Jim Johnson welcome Diana Fritz, dynamic executive leader, cancer thriver, Maxwell Leadership certified coach, and author of Uniquely Imperfect, Uniquely Qualified, for one of the most moving and genuinely inspiring conversations the Lounge has ever had.Diana opens with a story about her grandmother that sets the tone for everything that follows. A woman who chose joy no matter what life brought her, who could make anyone feel seen and loved, and whose smile Diana has made it her life's mission to carry forward. From there she shares what her first basketball coach taught her about mental toughness, accountability, and the kind of teamwork that shows up in a boardroom just as powerfully as it does on a court.The conversation shifts into Diana's cancer diagnosis, which arrived 12 years ago, thirty days into the year she turned forty, right in the middle of a separation, an executive role, and single motherhood. What she did with that news is a masterclass in proactive leadership. Drawing on Viktor Frankl and Stephen Covey, two books she was assigned in college and never forgot, Diana made a decision that her cancer would refine her rather than define her, and has been living that out every day since.Jon and Coach dig into the practical tools Diana uses to lead herself before leading anyone else, including her daily five AM reflection practice, her journaling habits built over decades, and the way she uses gratitude not as a buzzword but as a daily discipline that keeps her anchored when everything around her is uncertain.Diana also shares a masterclass on DISC, breaking down all four personality styles and explaining how understanding them transformed her relationships with the high D personalities who used to frustrate her most, and how she now uses DISC workshops to help entire organizations appreciate what makes each person different rather than fight about it.The episode closes with a powerful message for anyone who thinks they have nothing unique to offer. Diana makes the case that every scar, every struggle, and every obstacle you are working through right now is uniquely qualifying you to reach someone else who needs exactly what you have learned. And one person, she reminds us, is always enough to make it worth it.Whether you are leading through your own hard season, trying to build a team that truly works together, or just need a reminder that joy is always a choice even when circumstances are not, this episode will stay with you long after it ends.Connect with Diana: grituiuq.comGrab Uniquely Imperfect, Uniquely Qualified on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Uniquely-Imperfect-Qualified-Adversity-Imperfection/dp/1636804306Connect with Diana on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/diana-fritz-b032064/

What does it actually take to unite a divided team, a divided community, or a divided country? This week, Jon Goehring and Coach Jim Johnson sit down with Chip Webster, entrepreneur, former president of Vistage Florida, chairman of the board of Tampa Bay Watch, and founder of Unity in Service, a nonprofit dedicated to rebuilding trust through community action and civic engagement. Chip is also the author of Unity in Service, and this conversation is one of the most timely and thought provoking the Lounge has delivered.Chip opens with a candid and honest assessment of what is driving division in our country and why the solution starts not with politicians but with each of us. He shares what he discovered driving five loops around the country in an RV, talking to everyday people in RV parks from Seattle to Florida, and why his simple experiment of saying hello to strangers everywhere he went revealed something profound about how disconnected we have become from one another.The conversation shifts into deeply practical leadership territory from there. Chip breaks down why running to conflict rather than away from it is one of the most important skills any leader can develop, and shares his three step framework for having tough conversations before small tensions become major fractures. He also unpacks why clarity around what success actually looks like is the single most underrated tool a leader has for keeping a team aligned and moving in the same direction.Jon and Coach dig into Chip's hard won lessons from decades of working with CEOs through Vistage, including the patterns that separated the leaders who built lasting companies from those who burned out fast. The answer comes back to culture every time, and specifically whether the leader sees their role as serving the people around them or extracting value from them.Chip also shares two of his most memorable hiring stories, one that taught him the cost of hiring a friend and one that showed him exactly how far a bad actor will go to fake credentials, and what he learned from both about how to hire slow and fire fast.The episode closes with a powerful vision for what genuine unity looks like in practice, why having a goal bigger than yourself is the foundation of any truly cohesive team, and how something as simple as a micro validation, holding a door, making eye contact, saying hello, can begin to rebuild the trust that division erodes.Whether you are leading a team through internal conflict, trying to build a culture that actually holds together, or simply looking for a reminder that we have far more in common than the noise suggests, this episode will challenge and inspire you.Connect with Chip: unityinservice.org Email: chip@unityinservice.org Grab Unity in Service on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Unity-Service-Pathway-Responsible-Citizenship/dp/B0DVJBFP8N

Jim Johnson built the kind of success most contractors chase... until it nearly broke him.From uncovering fraud in his own company to watching his identity crumble under the weight of growth without purpose, Jim opens up about the brutal lessons that forced him to rebuild — not just his business, but his life. We dive into intentional leadership, the danger of skipping foundational work, and the personal cost of chasing scale without soul.This episode doesn't just talk shop — it gets real about legacy, relationships, recovery, and what it actually means to lead a life that matters.If you've ever felt the pressure to keep up while quietly falling apart, this conversation will hit different.Listen to this episode on other podcast platforms:Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/BeAuthenticSpotifyGoogle Podcast: https://tinyurl.com/BeAuthenticGooglePodcastApple Podcast: https://tinyurl.com/BeAuthenticApplePodcastAmazon Music: https://tinyurl.com/BeAuthenticAmazonMusicConnect with "Be Authentic or GTFO" on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beauthenticorGTFOInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/beauthenticorGTFOWebsite: https://beauthenticorgtfo.comFollow Podcast Host Eric Oberembt on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ericoberembtInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ericoberembt

What if the secret to building a truly great team starts not with strategy or systems, but with learning to genuinely put people first? This week, Jon Goehring and Coach Jim Johnson welcome back one of the Lounge's few repeat guests, Dr. Craig Nathanson, educator, author, speaker, and leadership coach with over 25 years of experience helping leaders build more human and sustainable organizations. Dr. Craig joins to dig into his powerful new book The Humanistic Leader, and the conversation is one of the most thought provoking the Lounge has ever had.Dr. Craig opens by drawing a clear and practical line between managing and leading, explaining why both matter deeply and why the best leaders never rely on one without the other. He then unpacks what a humanistic leader actually looks like in practice, why putting people first is not just the right thing to do but the smartest long term business decision a leader can make, and why the Pygmalion effect means your team will almost always rise or fall to match exactly how you treat them.The episode gets personal and surprisingly moving when Dr. Craig shares the story of his grandmother, who asked him the same question his entire life right up until the day before she passed. That question, and what it unlocked in him about self-leadership and happiness, forms the emotional core of everything his model stands for.From there, Jon and Coach guide Dr. Craig through some of the most practically useful ground of the episode. He breaks down his three part humanistic leadership model covering leading, managing, and coaching, walks through the eight different leadership styles and when to use each one, and shares his elegant framework for hiring the right people by asking three simple questions: will they, can they, and do they fit?Dr. Craig also delivers a masterclass on the power of asking great questions, both in one-on-one conversations and team settings, and makes a compelling case for why the best leaders talk only 20 percent of the time and listen the other 80. He closes with a story about coaching a resistant CEO back from the edge of being fired, and how one act of vulnerability in that first session changed everything.Whether you lead a team of two or an organization of two thousand, this episode will challenge you to look inward first and remind you that the most powerful thing you can do as a leader is make the people around you believe in themselves.Connect with Dr. Craig: drcraignathanson.com Grab The Humanistic Leader on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Humanistic-Leader-Leadership-Soul/dp/B0FW6FXQ61/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.X2tMFVaLSxN39AOck6X2eCK9y76QX_lB2g0oHz59Ft54ek90vevLyPVbtinxHv9pgisjB4PLlYYbskvoKSsHtuTPswuRqDR4jhkLH72rPvTaBjiuz0RTrVxJpBHboPjqGFPRQXPHT5deSnGGhugurg.vshpVK9L1rEGF1TDLAG9Oz7DIrNfBkII4DkuMpEpEXM&dib_tag=se&qid=1775579503&refinements=p_27%3ACraig+Nathanson&s=books&sr=1-1Email: craigathanson@gmail.com Phone: 707-774-6446 Follow Dr. Craig on LinkedIn for posts three times a week on humanistic leadership: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drcraignathanson/

What happens when the person you are leading has more experience, more years, and maybe even wanted your job? This week, Jon Goehring and Coach Jim Johnson tackle one of the most uncomfortable situations a young leader faces: leading people who are older than you, and how to turn that tension into a genuine advantage.Jon and Coach open with honest personal stories, including Coach taking over a program at 36 with two older assistant coaches who had both applied for the position he got. They share four practical strategies for navigating this dynamic with confidence and humility, starting with the non-negotiable power of leading by example every single day.From there, they dig into why respecting the experience of older teammates, even when you hold the title, is one of the fastest ways to earn their respect in return. Jon shares a candid reflection on how early in his own career he let leadership go to his head, and what that cost him relationally and why checking your ego is not optional for young leaders.Coach walks through the art of building one-on-one relationships with experienced team members, asking the right questions, genuinely valuing their input, and knowing how to handle both the ideas you use and the ones you do not in a way that keeps trust intact. Jon closes with a compelling case for involving older teammates in the decision making process and always explaining the reasoning behind your calls, whether in the boardroom or even at home with aging parents.The episode ends with a powerful conversation about reverse mentoring and how the best leaders recognize that everyone around them, regardless of age or title, has something to teach them.Whether you just stepped into a role leading people older than you or you want to sharpen how you handle experience gaps on your team, this episode gives you the tools to lead with both authority and genuine respect.Connect with Jon and Coach: limitlessleadershippodcast@gmail.com or find them on LinkedIn.

This week on *Consider This*, Justin Ebert is joined by Jim Johnson and Morgan Weece to discuss 2 Samuel 1–15 and 1 Corinthians 1–8. The conversation explores some of the most important and challenging moments in David's story, including the death of Uzzah, David's zeal before the Lord, the significance of the Davidic covenant, and the devastating sin of David and Bathsheba. Along the way, they reflect on what these passages reveal about the holiness of God, the danger of sin, the weight of its consequences, and the shape of true repentance. Then they turn to 1 Corinthians and consider Paul's emphasis on Christ crucified, the wisdom that comes from the Spirit, the calling and responsibility of church leaders, the seriousness of church discipline, the meaning of sexual holiness, and the practical challenges of marriage, singleness, and Christian freedom. The episode closes by considering how believers today can pursue faithfulness, wisdom, and love in the life of the church.

What if the only thing standing between you and your biggest goal is the willingness to stay in the game just a little longer than everyone else? This week, Jon Goehring and Coach Jim Johnson sit down with Ruben Gonzalez, a four time Olympian and the only athlete to compete in four Olympics across four different decades, a keynote speaker who has taken the stage for over 105 Fortune 500 companies, and author of The Shortcut. Ruben's story is one of the most flat out inspiring conversations the Lounge has ever had.Ruben opens with a story that will immediately reframe how you think about potential. He was the last kid picked in PE, a bench warmer in college soccer, and had never even seen a luge run when he decided at 21 years old to pursue the Olympics. What he did have was an unshakable grip on his one superpower: he simply refused to quit.The conversation gets deeply practical from there. Ruben breaks down the two types of courage every leader and goal chaser needs, the courage to get started and the courage to stay in when it gets hard, and explains exactly where each one comes from. He also shares how he used visualization not as a fluffy mindset trick but as a deliberate performance tool, running hundreds of mental reps to rewire fear and build unshakable confidence before ever stepping on the track.Jon and Coach dive into Ruben's approach to goal setting, and his advice is refreshingly simple: stop staring at Everest and go climb Kilimanjaro first. Stack the wins, build the belief, and let the momentum carry you to the bigger mountain. He also shares the exact mindset shift that eliminated his fear on the luge after 25 years of white knuckling every run.Ruben closes with a powerful lesson on finding mentors, why successful people love to talk about success, and how asking the right questions of the right people can fast track your growth in ways that years of solo effort never could.Whether you are stepping into leadership for the first time, chasing a goal that feels impossibly big, or just need a reminder that ordinary people with extraordinary persistence change the world every single day, this episode will light a fire under you.Connect with Ruben: olympicmotivation.comGrab The Shortcut on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Shortcut-Fastest-Achieve-Your-Goals/dp/B0BFP6P1K4

The conversation begins in Ruth, exploring the historical and cultural background of the book, the significance of Ruth as a Moabite, the themes of faithfulness and redemption, and the many ways this story points ahead to Jesus and the gospel.

What if the clearest path to becoming an unstoppable leader starts with getting radically honest about your own growth gaps? This week, Jon Goehring and Coach Jim Johnson sit down with Quinn Harwood, known as Coach Q, a former Davidson college basketball player, professional certified coach, and author of the leadership fable Growth Time, for a conversation packed with practical wisdom on confidence, mission, and becoming the kind of leader who lifts everyone around them.Coach Q opens with a powerful story from his Davidson days, sharing how a pivotal shift away from self-focus and toward team mission transformed not just his performance on the court but his entire approach to leadership. He explains why mission is greater than vision, and how getting anchored in a personal mission statement became the stabilizing force that carried him through career setbacks, a painful divorce, and reinvention during the COVID years.The conversation digs deep into the concept of value driven leadership and why holding your team accountable to shared values rather than performance outcomes alone is what separates good leaders from truly transformational ones. Coach Q also unpacks the identity of the coach leader, explaining why emotionally intelligent leaders who ask powerful questions and stay present with their people consistently outperform those who rely on authority or motivation alone.One of the most immediately useful segments of the episode is Coach Q's AAA framework for running one-on-one meetings that actually move the needle: alignment, attitude, and action. He breaks down how to structure conversations that create genuine ownership in team members rather than just checking boxes.Coach Q also shares his three dimensional approach to self-leadership, physical, mental, and spiritual, and introduces the concept of the Midnight Mirror, a nightly reflection practice that sets the tone for the next day and keeps leaders sharp, grounded, and growth focused. He closes with a transparent and moving account of how faith became the foundation of his personal and professional growth story.Whether you are an emerging leader looking for your footing, a business owner trying to build an accountable culture, or someone ready to close the gap between where you are and where you are meant to be, this episode will give you the tools, the mindset, and the motivation to get into your own growth time.Connect with Coach Q on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/quinn-harwood-455517108/Grab the book: Growth Time on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/GrowthTime-Coaching-Fable-Unlock-Leadership/dp/B0F1G847H4Subscribe to Monday Movers Mindset: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/monday-movers-mindset-7252388937384525824/

This week on Consider This, Justin Ebert is joined by Jim Johnson and Ryan Vincent to discuss Joshua 19–24, Judges 1–8, and Mark 14–15. The conversation highlights the closing chapters of Joshua, the importance of covenant faithfulness, and the transition into the chaotic world of Judges. Along the way, they explore key background for reading Judges well and how the book points beyond itself to the need for a greater Deliverer. Then, in Mark 14–15, they reflect on Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane, His testimony before the high priest, and the mystery of the cross—asking what it means for the Son to submit to the Father's will, whether Jesus is making a claim to divinity, and what is happening within the Trinity in the moment of crucifixion.

In this episode of Relationships Rule, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jimmy Page, leadership expert, author, and co-creator of the powerful One Word philosophy.Jimmy has spent decades helping leaders, teams, and organizations improve culture, performance, and purpose. Through his work with athletes, businesses, and ministries around the world, he has trained more than 100,000 leaders and continues to inspire people to live what he calls an unstoppable life.During our conversation, Jimmy shared how the simple idea of choosing one guiding word for the year can bring clarity and focus to every area of life. Instead of setting long lists of goals that often fade away, the One Word approach helps people align their decisions, habits, and relationships around a single intention.We also talked about the importance of relationships in shaping our lives and leadership. One of my favorite moments in this conversation was the story involving my previous guest, Coach Jim Johnson. When Coach Jim recently reconnected with Jimmy, he realized Jimmy had actually been one of the high school basketball players he coached years earlier. It was a wonderful reminder that relationships often come full circle in unexpected and meaningful ways.Jimmy's message is simple but powerful: when you focus on what truly matters, you not only perform better, you build stronger relationships and live with greater purpose.Key Takeaways• A single guiding word can bring clarity and intention to your life and leadership.• Simplifying your focus often leads to stronger results than chasing many goals.• Purpose and performance are deeply connected to the relationships we build along the way.• Leaders who focus on culture, mindset, and wellness create stronger teams.• The right word can act as a compass for decisions throughout the year.You can reach Jimmy at: https://beunstoppable.live/ and https://getoneword.com/In appreciation for being here, I have some gifts for you:A LinkedIn Checklist for setting up your fully optimized Profile:An opportunity to test drive the Follow Up system I recommend by checking this presentation page - you won't regret it.

SEASON: 6 EPISODE: 18Episode Overview:Welcome back to another episode of Becoming Preferred, the show dedicated to helping you stand out in a crowded marketplace by becoming the provider—and the leader—of choice.Today we are joined by Coach Jim Johnson, a returning favorite who truly understands what it means to lead under pressure. He's a hall-of-fame basketball coach, and a world-class speaker, but whether he's in a locker room or a boardroom, Coach Jim Johnson knows that winning isn't just about the score—it's about the soul of the team.Today, we're breaking down his powerful framework, The 8 Cs of Leadership, to find out how you can earn the right to be followed and how to stay relevant in an ever-changing professional landscape. Join me for my conversation with Coach Jim Johnson.Guest Bio: A Legacy of Championship Leadership Coach Johnson is a legendary figure in New York high school basketball, boasting an incredible career record of 428-221. Over two decades, he led the Greece Athena Trojans to 11 divisional titles and a staggering 66-5 record in his final three seasons alone. A multi-time Coach of the Year and recipient of the National Sportsmanship Award, his tenure was defined by consistent excellence, including 22 winning seasons out of 23 and leading his team to the #1 ranking in New York State.The "Magic" of Teamwork and J-Mac Beyond the win-loss column, Coach Johnson is widely recognized for his unique partnership with Jason "J-Mac" McElwain. From the viral "magic" of J-Mac's legendary shooting performance to their collaborative coaching years that followed, their story has been featured nationally on CBS Sports.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Sabtu, 28 Februari 2026Bacaan: "TUHAN itu jauh dari pada orang fasik, tetapi doa orang benar didengar-Nya." (Amsal 15:29)Renungan: Jim Johnson ditugaskan oleh pimpinan sebuah hotel untuk menyelamatkan hotel itu dari "bencana" kebangkrutan. Banyak manager lain telah mencoba dan berjuang tetapi tetap gagal dan sia-sia. Hotel sekarang diambang kehancuran dan kalau ini terjadi, maka banyak karyawan akan kehilangan pekerjaan. Jim Jonhson mencoba cara lain yang belum pernah dibuat oleh manager lain. la pergi ke salah satu bukit di mana dari sana ia bisa melihat hotel itu dengan jelas. la tinggal disana selama kurang lebih 20 menit. Apa yang ia lakukan? la berdoa dan berdoa. Pertama-tama ia mendoakan tamu-tamu hotel, semoga mereka sehat dan ceria, dan tergerak melangkahkan kaki ke hotel itu. Semoga mereka mendapatkan apa yang diinginkan, bukan hanya sarana yang lengkap tetapi sapaan dan sambutan hangat dari para karyawan hotel. Kemudian ia berdoa untuk orang-orang yang tinggal dan berada di sekitar hotel. Mereka yang berbisnis di area itu, juga tidak luput dari doanya. Ia juga berdoa bagi semua penduduk kota. Semoga mereka mendapat rejeki dan hidup layak. Begitulah pekerjaan yang Jim Johnson lakukan tiap malam, ia mendoakan hal yang sama. Lambat laun, suasana hotel mulai bergairah. Tamu-tamu mulai berdatangan. Roda perjalanan hotel itu menampakkan geliat yang sangat terasa. Walau ada harapan, Jim Johnson tidak berhenti berdoa, memohon dan berharap. Akhirnya keadaan hotel kembali pulih dan bahkan melebihi harapan dan perkiraan pimpinan sehingga Jim Johnson menjadi berkat bagi karyawan hotel tersebut. Jika doa satu orang mampu mengembalikan masa depan hotel itu, kita bisa membayangkan bila seluruh penghuni dunia berdoa bagi dunia dan seluruh isinya. Memang secara manusiawi kita kadang sulit mengerti akan masalah dan problema hidup kita. Namun harus selalu kita percaya bahwa Allah lewat cara-Nya yang kadang tak terpahami, tak terduga, tak terselami sanggup menolong kita. Allah mendengar doa-doa kita. Kisah selamatnya hotel itu dari kebangkrutan adalah satu bukti. Banyak manager mencoba cara luar biasa, tetapi tidak membuahkah hasil. Jim Johnson mencoba cara sederhana dan biasa namun "berkuasa" membawa hotel itu ke permukaan kembali. Masihkah kita meragukan kuasa doa itu? Berdoalah jika kita memang merindukan ada jalan. Berdoalah, supaya kita kuat, maka Dia akan menolong kita. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Dia:Tuhan Yesus, penuhilah aku dengan Roh Doa-Mu, sehingga doaku penuh kuasa untuk memberkati banyak orang. Amin. (Dod).

What if failure isn't the end of your story, but the key to your next breakthrough? This week, Jon Goehring, Coach Jim Johnson, and Dr. Rehnuma Karim explore the universal experience of setbacks... and share three powerful strategies to bounce back stronger.Coach draws on decades of basketball coaching to reveal the importance of analyzing what went wrong, correcting course, and committing to consistent improvement... because repeating mistakes is the only true failure. They discuss how daily scoreboards and honest autopsies lead to continuous growth in sports, business, and life.Dr. Rehnuma shares a moving example of her nephew's journey from job rejections to discovering his true calling in academia... a vivid reminder that failure can serve as a guiding signpost toward our highest purpose. Together, they urge you to reframe failure as an “ignorance tax”—an essential price paid once to pave the way forward.The hosts also highlight the critical role of your reaction to failure, cautioning against “double errors” that compound loss, and emphasize self compassion and mindset shifts as vital tools. Citing thought leaders like Mike Baker and Albert Einstein, they remind listeners that persistent learning, courageous reflection, and purposeful action fuel true success.If you or someone you know is struggling with setbacks, this episode offers invaluable encouragement and a concrete path to rise with clarity, confidence, and resilience.

In this episode, I sit down with Coach Jim Johnson, a long-time educator, championship basketball coach, and inspirational speaker who has spent decades helping people see what's possible for them. Right away, I could see how closely Jim's leadership style reflects what I've witnessed firsthand, with my husband. (He was a lifelong high school basketball coach too.) Leading with belief, care, and encouragement, and understanding that the words we choose can stay with someone for life.Jim shares honest lessons from early in his career, including a humbling season that forced him to rethink what leadership really requires. We talk about why “caring” and “challenging” are not opposites, and how the best leaders hold high standards while still building trust. Jim also explains how he became more intentional with communication, including a shift from “having the agenda” to becoming what he calls the Chief Question Asker.We also talk about the unforgettable J-Mac story, a moment that captured the world's attention and still stands as a powerful reminder of what happens when a team chooses “we over me.” It's a conversation about trust, team culture, resilience under pressure, and how relationships and words shape performance, confidence, and lives.TakeawaysWords last. The things we say as leaders can become part of someone's confidence for years.Caring and challenging can live together. High standards work best when people also feel seen and supported.Relationships are the foundation. Trust doesn't happen by accident. It takes intention, time, and knowing your people.Teams unite when leaders listen. Asking better questions and creating space for real input builds ownership.Clarity is kindness. Even hard feedback lands better when it's clear, respectful, and explained.Jim can be reached at: https://coachjimjohnson.com/In appreciation for being here, I have some gifts for you:A LinkedIn Checklist for setting up your fully optimized Profile:An opportunity to test drive the Follow Up system I recommend by checking this presentation page - you won't regret it.

Justin Ebert is back in the studio with Jim Johnson and Ryan Vincent for Week 7 of the Year Through the Bible reading plan at Sunnybrook, diving into Leviticus 16–27 and Mark 3–4. Together they wrestle with the passages many readers avoid or misunderstand: Is Leviticus a burden or was it a gift of grace, order, and revelation to God's people? What does atonement really mean, and how does the Day of Atonement prepare us for the cross of Christ? They tackle the often-debated tattoo verse, explore God's sexual ethic and why biblical boundaries are framed as blessing rather than restriction, and address common objections about “Jesus never said…” The conversation also probes the tension between “eye for eye” and “turn the other cheek,” the meaning of “forever” in covenant language, and the sobering warnings about blasphemy and the unforgivable sin.

BUFFALO, NY – January 13, 2026 – A new #hypothesis article was #published in Oncotarget (Volume 17) on January 3, 2026, titled “Hypothesis: HPV E6 and COVID spike proteins cooperate in targeting tumor suppression by p53.” Written by Wafik S. El-Deiry, Oncotarget Editor-in-Chief, from The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and from Lifespan Health System and Brown University, the paper proposes that two viral proteins, HPV E6 and SARS-CoV-2 spike, could jointly reduce the activity of p53, a protein that helps protect cells from becoming cancerous. HPV is already known to drive several cancers, and the hypothesis suggests that additional pressure on p53 could matter for cancer risk or recurrence in some settings. HPV can promote cancer development in part by using its E6 protein, together with a human partner protein called E6-AP, to drive the downregulation of p53. When p53 is weakened, damaged cells may be more likely to survive and continue growing. The new hypothesis asks whether SARS-CoV-2 viral influence could further reduce p53 function in people already affected by HPV. The article highlights studies suggesting that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein may suppress p53 activity and discusses observations that have raised questions about cancer outcomes after COVID-19 infection or vaccination in certain contexts. It also notes that a search of the literature did not identify clear evidence of direct molecular cooperation between HPV and COVID-19 in suppressing p53, which underscores the need for further studies. “I listened to an interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnVMjp9mCA0&t=2s) of Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong by Chris Cuomo where I learned about a patient named Jim Johnson with a history of HPV-related head and neck cancer who by 2022 had survived his HPV-related cancer for 7 years and then he took the COVID vaccine.” To investigate the presented hypothesis, Dr. El-Deiry proposes epidemiological studies that analyze cancer incidence and recurrence in HPV-positive groups with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID mRNA vaccination. It also proposes laboratory studies to assess whether HPV E6 and SARS-CoV-2 spike combined reduce p53 function more than either factor alone. Overall, the hypothesis was formulated to focus attention on an HPV and SARS-CoV-2 shared biological target, p53, and to encourage careful studies that separate coincidence from causation. By outlining specific approaches, it aims to help researchers evaluate whether combined viral pressures on tumor-suppressor pathways could contribute to cancer progression.

In this episode, Justin Ebert sits down with Jim Johnson and Drew Moss to discuss some of the big questions emerging from Genesis 15-34 and John 5-8. How do faith, grace, and obedience actually relate to one another? What do we do with the morally messy stories in Genesis - are they mean to prescribe behavior or simply describe human brokenness? How do we make sense of god "appearing" to people when the New Testament says no one has seen God? And what is Jesus really claiming when he says provocative things like "Eat my flesh" and "Before Abraham was, I am"?

It's Observer Hall of Fame season, and you know what that means: With Kris having to take the week off, David figured this would be a good week of a HOF show, so he's joined here by our dear friend John Pollock of POST Wrestling to go over the ballot! The focus is on new/returning candidates and our ballot shortlists for the most part to keep our sanity, but there's a ton of ground covered, with topics including:David's new research into the Von Erichs and how it affects their candidacy as a group.Decoding the criteria as it applies to teams vs. singles acts.The underrepresentation of historically marginalized groups in the HOF.Junkyard Dog getting unfairly made out to be a far inferior candidate than he actually is in a lot of HOF discussions.Sabu's case coming into focus in the aftermath of his death.What's the threshold for high level in-ring longevity candidates like the Briscoes, Masaaki Mochizuki, and Meiko Satomura?Between last year's inductions of CIMA and Shingo Takagi and this year's addition of Mochizuki to the ballot, is it time to put a lot more focus on Dragongate candidates, whether individually or as groups?Is Becky Lynch's candidacy losing stream?Did CM Punk deliberately sabotage AEW, and if so, how does that reflect on his otherwise strong case for induction?The Randy Orton problem: Right now, it's easy to make the case for why he's a weak candidate. Will voters lost sight of that years down the line?Batista needing reconsideration under the current rule set when he's a far superior candidate to almost everyone else on the modern U.S./Canada ballot.Did Cody Rhodes' pec injury rob him of the credit he deserves for being the catalyst for the 2020s WWE boom period?Aew we overvaluing in-ring work when it comes to candidates like Tiger Jeet Singh?Trying to figure out the areas where the WON HOF should be more like the Rock 'n' Roll HOF than sports halls of fame, including whether or not feuds should be considered as much of an “act” as tag teams are since it's all a work.The problem with candidates like Zane Bresloff and Rossy Ogawa where we're largely relying on a friend or two to make the case for them. The glut of candidates like Morris Sigel, Bobby Bruns, and Roy Welch that arguably shouldn't be up to a vote in the first place.The rise of “non-standard” candidates like Jim Johnson and Reggie Parks.Mike Tenay arguably having much more actual stylistic influence on the style taken up by successor announcers than Jesse Ventura did.Dave Brown being unfairly punished for being the sidekick of the GOAT, Lance Russell despite being an HOF-level announcer himself and fans in the Memphis territory tending to put them over as a team.…and much more.
