In this powerful episode of The Presence-Centered Podcast, host Christian F. Johnson sits down with Rob Lohman — a Christian rehab business owner, interventionist, recovery coach, podcaster, and recovery advocate — to unpack what it really means to break free from the addictions we don’t talk about.

This episode explores how distractions disguised as relief can quietly pull us out of alignment with God and our divine assignment. Rob shares his powerful journey of recovery through realignment and redemption through Presence, revealing how the same story that once enslaved you can become the one that sets others free.

Together, Christian and Rob dive into what true transformation looks like for spiritually-minded, high-impact leaders who may not battle substances—but still wrestle with the need for success, approval, or control.

If you’ve ever felt distant from your purpose or stuck in a pattern that promises peace but delivers pressure, this episode will show you how to find your way back to Presence.

🎙 Episode Title: Aligning the Man with the Brand

The Presence-Centered Podcast with Christian F. Johnson

There’s nothing more exhausting than when the man and the brand don’t line up.

When your posts look polished, your platform looks strong—but inside, you know it’s not fully you.

In this episode, I share why alignment between your inner man and your outer brand matters now more than ever. We talk about the hidden cost of misalignment, the freedom alignment brings, and two keys that will help you evolve your brand without losing yourself.

Then I’m joined by my special guest, Faith-Led LinkedIn Mentor, Tati Rainer. Together, we unpack how to practically align your online presence through what we are calling a LinkedIn Lift.

If you’re a spiritually-minded, high-achieving leader who’s ready to align who you are with how you show up—this conversation is for you.

How Philip’s perspective exposes the tension we all feel about provision

The rhythm of Heaven’s economy for business, ministry, and life

Covered by God, not chaos. Chaos is inevitable, but being consumed by it is optional. In this Presence-Centered Podcast, Christian F. Johnson unpacks Exodus 8—where Egypt was plagued, but Goshen was covered.

Chaos is inevitable. But being consumed by it? That’s optional.

In this episode, Christian F. Johnson breaks down the story of Exodus 8—where Egypt was consumed by plagues, but Goshen was set apart. Goshen wasn’t chaos-free, it was covered by God, not chaos—and that same distinction applies to you today.

If you’re a spiritually minded, high-achieving leader carrying self-pressure, fear, or uncertainty—you’ll discover:

✅ Why you’re not protected because you’re perfect, but because you’re positioned

✅ The leadership lessons hidden in the plagues of Egypt

✅ How to stay aligned when everything around you is unraveling

✅ A reflection exercise to shift from performance to presence

👉🏽 Reflection Question: Where have you been chasing perfection instead of choosing position?

You don’t have to outrun chaos—you just need to remain under the covering.

👤 Hosted by Christian F. Johnson | Presence-Centered Leadership Coach

What if the reason you feel off isn’t a spiritual attack—but spiritual misalignment?

In this episode, Christian speaks directly to the high-achieving, spiritually-minded man who’s been grinding, praying, pushing, and performing—but still feels off-center.

You’ve been taught that the devil is behind your burnout...

📖 Based on John 10:10, Christian unpacks:

• Why “the thief” isn’t always the devil—and how distraction steals your clarity
• The danger of masked messaging, performance pressure, and false alignment
• How to stop outsourcing your authority and realign with your divine assignment
• What DEVIL → LIVED and EVIL → LIVE can teach you about reclaiming your rhythm
• A practical breakdown of the R.I.N.S.E. Method™ to destroy distractions and walk in spiritual focus

This one isn’t for the lazy—it’s for the builder, the father, the leader, the man who knows something deeper is calling.

🎯 If you're ready to destroy distractions, align with God, and fortify your focus…
