Episode 17 with Adam Johnson AKA "The Lectern Guy"

The Jan 6th Lectern Guy, Adam Johnson, joins me to discuss how his faith got him through the persecution he faced for being at the Capitol during the protest. Adam was imprisoned for 75 days, 4 of which he spent in isolation, for “entering and remaining in a restricted building.” He also gives his Biblical perspective on protesting, homeschooling, and the challenges we face as Christians amid growing hostility in America. 

Adam is a southern Baptist currently living in Florida. A habitual starter of new things he’s worked in multiple industries and enjoys pursuing knowledge through reading and conversation. He’s currently writing a book when he’s not busy raising his 5 kids with his wife of 12 years. He is most famous for his photo holding a lectern in the Capitol Building during the January 6th protests.
