If you were neighbors outside Atlanta with Ernie Johnson Jr. and his wife, Cheryl, you’d soon learn they are the parents of six children. They’ve adopted four of them. Three have special needs, and one suffers from muscular dystrophy, a fatal disease [more on Johnson’s family here].
But the rest of us know Johnson mostly as the Emmy-winning studio host of Inside the NBA on TNT, where he works alongside Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Shaquille O’Neal. You’ll also see him working for Turner and CBS on the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament, Major League Baseball, and the PGA Championship.
Most recently he’s the author of Unscripted: The Unpredictable Moments that Make Life Extraordinary (Baker). In this book he takes us behind the scenes of his family and studio show and also his outspoken Christian faith, including his struggles as a father and husband and survivor of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. He joins me on The Gospel Coalition Podcast to discuss the ups and downs of family and career, including his much-shared commentary following the 2016 presidential election.
Free eBook by Rebecca McLaughlin: ‘Jesus Through the Eyes of Women’
If the women who followed Jesus could tell you what he was like, what would they say?
Jesus’s treatment of women was revolutionary. That’s why they flocked to him. Wherever he went, they sought him out. Women sat at his feet and tugged at his robes. They came to him for healing, for forgiveness, and for answers. So what did women see in this first-century Jewish rabbi and what can we learn as we look through their eyes today?
In Jesus Through the Eyes of Women, Rebecca McLaughlin explores the life-changing accounts of women who met the Lord. By entering the stories of the named and unnamed women in the Gospels, this book gives readers a unique lens to see Jesus as these women did and marvel at how he loved them in return.
