I Am the Bread of Life | Rev. Kevin Johnson | North Raleigh UMCWhat are we really hungry for?In this message from our I Am sermon series, Rev. Kevin Johnson explores Jesus' powerful declaration in John 6:35: "I am the bread of life." As Jesus speaks to a crowd that has just witnessed the feeding of the 5,000, he invites them—and us—to look beyond physical needs and discover the deeper satisfaction found only in him.Through humor, biblical insight, and practical application, Kevin examines what it means for Jesus to be the true bread from heaven, the source of eternal life, and the one who brings us into relationship with God. In a world constantly telling us we need more, Jesus offers a different promise: that in him, there is enough.In this sermon, you'll discover:• Why Jesus' "I Am" statements are so significant in John's Gospel• How the manna in the wilderness points to Christ• What it means for Jesus to be the Bread of Life• Why worldly satisfaction never lasts• How communion invites us into God's life and love• What it means to trust God for our daily breadScripture: John 6:30-58Preacher: Rev. Kevin JohnsonSeries: I AmChurch: North Raleigh United Methodist ChurchIf this message encouraged you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs to hear the good news that there is always enough in Jesus.#NorthRaleighUMC #KevinJohnson #BreadOfLife #IAmSeries #GospelOfJohn #John6 #UnitedMethodist #ChristianSermon #BibleTeaching #JesusChrist #Faith #ChurchOnline #RaleighNC #UMC #ChristianLiving
In the world of music, many of the albums produced are backed by record labels. In the Blues, we have Alligator, Blind Pig, Delmark, Ruf, Malaco and a few others. Each of these labels depend upon the skills of their publicists and radio promoters to help get word of each new artist and their respective albums out to the masses. Kevin Johnson has worked with the Delmark label for years, and he also works with the non-profit label, Little Village Foundation. Additionally, Kevin has work of his own, via Proud Papa Promotions and Publicity, and he is our featured guest this week on Time Signatures. Were it not for PR guys like Kevin, Matt LaFollette, Amy Brat, Jon Bleicher, and a few others, Time Signatures would not be in a position to bring you many of today's Blues Artists.

The day of Pentecost marked one of the most dramatic moments in Christian history when the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples with unmistakable power. The disciples had been waiting together in Jerusalem, following Jesus' instructions to tarry until they received heavenly power. Their waiting wasn't passive but filled with expectation, like a family in a hospital waiting room anticipating good news. When the Spirit arrived, it came with the sound of violent wind and flames of fire that rested on each person, representing God's uncontrollable yet constructive power.The most remarkable aspect of this event was that the disciples began speaking in languages they had never learned. These weren't unintelligible utterances but real languages that the international crowd in Jerusalem could understand perfectly. Jerusalem was filled with pious Jews from every nation who spoke different languages, and they were amazed to hear these Galilean fishermen declaring God's mighty works in their native tongues. This miracle reveals something profound about God's heart - that divine love transcends all cultural and linguistic barriers.The Holy Spirit's work extends far beyond that first Pentecost day. The Spirit serves as a divine artist, painting countless portraits of Jesus on human hearts using the unique gifts, cultures, and backgrounds of each person. Rather than erasing our particularities, God uses them to draw people into divine love in fresh and meaningful ways. The Spirit gives each person gifts not for personal glory but for the common good, enabling us to help others understand God's love in their particular context. Even during seasons of spiritual drought when we might not feel the Spirit's presence, we are invited to wait expectantly for God's movement, knowing that the Spirit continues to work in unpredictable but always loving ways.Discover the incredible power of Pentecost and how the Holy Spirit transforms ordinary people into extraordinary witnesses for God. This powerful biblical story from Acts 2 reveals one of the most dramatic moments in Christian history when the Holy Spirit descended with wind and fire upon the disciples in Jerusalem. Learn about the miraculous gift of speaking in tongues, where disciples suddenly spoke languages they never learned, allowing people from every nation to hear God's message in their native language. Explore how God speaks people fluently, transcending cultural and linguistic barriers through divine love and grace. Understand the Holy Spirit's role in drawing people to God, giving spiritual gifts for the common good, and working as a divine artist who paints portraits of Jesus on human hearts. This message examines how the Spirit uses our unique personalities, backgrounds, and cultures to reveal Christ to others in fresh ways. Whether you're experiencing spiritual growth or going through a season of spiritual drought, discover how to wait expectantly for the Holy Spirit's movement in your life. Learn practical ways to recognize the Spirit's work, understand your spiritual gifts, and be open to God's unpredictable but loving transformation. Perfect for anyone seeking to understand the Holy Spirit's power, spiritual gifts, divine calling, Christian transformation, biblical miracles, Acts 2 Pentecost, speaking in tongues, spiritual awakening, God's presence, divine love, Christian faith, spiritual growth, biblical teaching, and how God moves in our lives today. This biblical exposition offers hope and encouragement for believers at any stage of their spiritual journey.

What does it actually take to build a democracy that lasts—and who has always done that work? In this class session, Dr. David J. Johns sits down with award-winning political strategist, founder of Omara Strategy Group, and author Atima Omara to dig into her new book, The Instigators: How Black Women Have Been Essential to American Democracy (HarperCollins, May 5, 2026). From the Javits Center to the 107 days of the Harris campaign, from Shirley Chisholm to Sherry Beasley, Atima and Dr. Johns trace the through-line of Black women's political contributions and what keeps getting in the way of the credit, the resources, and the wins they deserve. They get into the “white voter” trap, what it actually means to follow Black women's lead, and why the most urgently sleeping-on lesson from history might just save us.

Adrian is a molecular biologist and co-founder and CEO of Genyro, a synthetic biology company. He has published 2 previous books on life science (Life Without Genes and An Intelligent Person's Guide to Genetics). In this conversation we discussed his new book, cover below and the title of this post.ABI. As Adrian puts it, a monumental shift, a second genesis, the “artivolution,” ability to use a molecular Gutenberg press, it's post-Darwinian. I made an infographic about the book and our conversation with NotebookLMThe expansion of genome sequences beyond “Fred's library” (referring to Fred Sanger, father of genome sequencing, little green box)We talked about the jump from DNA reading to editing and now writing genomes, with the potential of the latter for both good and harm. I disagreed with Adrian about the bright prospects for curing diseases, but there are many possibilities for positive impact, such as intervening vs the climate crisis and sustainability.We also discussed the large language of life models (LLLMs) and by coincidence my colleagues and I just published a review of these in this Nature Biotechnology (←free access is hyperlinked).“It should be possible to meet most of humanity's needs through biologically inspired designs—to solve many global problems, revolutionize health care, extend human lifespan, and create other organisms to order.”—Adrian WoolfsonIf you are into life science, I think you'll find Adrian's book thoughtful and provocative, even if you don't agree with some of his optimism like a disease-free organism.The topic connects with digital biology, a theme that is approached in many editions of Ground Truths, such as this one with Patrick Hsu***************************************************Thank you Ric Bayly, Kevin Johnson, MD, YOUR DOCTOR KLOVER, Patricia Scott, Anne, and more than 600 others for tuning into my live video with Adrian Woolfson!

In this episode of the podcast, we dive deep into Lost Season 4, Episode 8 — “Meet Kevin Johnson.” It's a Michael Dawson–centric hour that fills in one of the biggest gaps in the show's timeline: how Michael went from leaving the Island with Walt to working as Ben's man on the freighter. We unpack the emotional fallout from Michael's betrayal in Season 2, his failed attempts to end his own life, and the moment Tom reveals that the Island isn't finished with him yet. From there, we trace Michael's reluctant recruitment by Ben, his infiltration of the freighter under the alias “Kevin Johnson,” and the complicated moral spiral that leads him back into the Island's orbit. Along the way, we discuss Harold Perrineau's performance, the themes of guilt and redemption, and how this episode reframes Michael's controversial legacy in the series.Then, in the second half of the show, we pivot from the mysteries of the Island to Hollywood's biggest night: our reactions to the 98th Academy Awards. From the biggest winners and surprise upsets to the speeches, performances, and viral moments everyone's talking about, we break down what worked, what didn't, and which films walked away with the night's most meaningful victories. It's a jump from freighters and smoke monsters to red carpets and gold statues—but both halves of the episode share one thing in common: big drama, unforgettable characters, and plenty to debate.

In today's episode, Randall reports on allegations surrounding Dr. Kevin E. James's return to Morris Brown, Hampton, and Virginia State, benefitting from public policy, and the death of former NFL defensive lineman and HBCU alumnus Kevin Johnson. Randall then zooms in on the controversy surrounding Coco Gauff, saying that she would've attended an HBCU, as some believe that she should consider it, and that celebrities saying that rings hollow. Randall argues that Gauff made her comment in good faith, as some other athletes cite a "resource disparity" as why they don't attend HBCUs. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. Despite having seen this episode before, Terri had no recollection of it. It dropped a lot of exposition about what happened to Michael and Walt when they left the island (uh, nothing good), and ended with a tragedy for Alex, which we're guessing was all part of Ben's evil master plan.Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 4, episode 9, "The Shape of Things to Come." Tomorrow, we'll continue our discussion of a newer show, The Lowdown.
As we wrap up the year, I'm joined by Kevin Johnson, Max Ceron, and Frankie Vargas for our annual end-of-year cross-pod roundtable. We talk candidly about FabTech, the real ROI of in-person podcasting, and why live shows don't always move the needle the way people expect. Kevin breaks down what went into this year's Fabricator Olympics, what he learned running a large-scale event, and why organization and efficiency matter just as much in events as they do in fabrication shops. We also dig into arc-on time, shop inefficiencies, and why welding is often only a small percentage of what a welder actually does day to day. The conversation shifts into the welding labor shortage and skills gap—where those numbers come from, whether they're accurate, and why retention, culture, apprenticeships, and shop conditions matter just as much as recruiting new welders. We also cover why so many welders leave the hood for other roles, how benefits factor into pay decisions, and what schools and employers need to change if they want people to stay in the trade. This is an honest, unscripted conversation about where the industry really is—and where it needs to go next.

In this episode of The Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, Nick and Amy sit down with Kevin Johnson for an open and relatable conversation about anxiety, a topic that touches nearly everyone in one form or another. Anxiety is a normal function of life, and it shows up differently for each of us. It might surface when we're speaking in front of a crowd, navigating unfamiliar places, facing personal pressures, or simply trying to keep up with life. For some people, it's a manageable background hum; for others, it can feel overwhelming, even paralyzing. Kevin helps break down what anxiety really is, and how anxiety doesn't just impact individuals, it also deeply affects marriages and relationships. When one spouse struggles with anxiety, it can influence communication, intimacy, emotional connection, and even day-to-day decision-making. Left unaddressed, it can create misunderstandings, distance, or tension between spouses.Join us for this very important episode.
