In this special episode of The Just Life, host Benjamin Watson sits down with fellow NFL tight end Juwan Johnson of the New Orleans Saints. Partnering with the International Justice Mission (IJM), Benjamin and Juwan dive deep into what it means to use an influential platform to combat modern-day slavery and human trafficking. Juwan shares his personal journey from blind spots to active advocacy, how his background as a Black man helps him identify with the oppressed, and why "the just life" ultimately requires the sacrifice of our most valuable resource: our time.
Finding Your Lane: Much like a football team where every player has a distinct role, you don’t need to own an organization to fight injustice. You just need to find your lane and utilize your unique abilities.
The Power of Awareness: Awareness is the first step toward advocacy. Recognizing the staggering reality of modern-day slavery—even when it makes us uncomfortable—forces us out of our self-contained bubbles.
Proximity to Pain: True justice work begins in your own backyard. Juwan emphasizes the importance of serving the immediate community of New Orleans before trying to fix global issues.
Defining "The Just Life": For Juwan, living justly means sacrifice - sacrificing comfort, ignorance, and time to prioritize the human rights and needs of others over our own.
