The Burn Podcast by Ben Newman Inky Johnson on Faith, Fire, and Turning Adversity into Fuel | The Burn That Ignites GREATNESS
In this episode of The Burn Podcast, host Ben Newman finally sits down with the one and only Inky Johnson—a conversation that has been years in the making. From a career-ending injury to a life-altering calling, Inky shares how humility, discipline, and unwavering faith transformed pain into purpose, and why true greatness comes from action, not just words.
Inky doesn’t just talk about resilience—he lives it. He explains how he reframed suffering into meaning, why behavior always precedes action, and how his faith anchors his family, leadership, and mission. Ben and Inky open up about their shared belief that adversity, when given meaning, can become the greatest strength a person will ever carry. Together, they explore the role of humility in winning, the discipline required to keep showing up, and the choice every person faces when life delivers setbacks: waste the experience, or use it to grow stronger.
This conversation is raw, passionate, and unapologetically real. It’s about more than football, more than speaking—it’s about life, faith, and the relentless fire that drives YOU to compete with who YOU were yesterday. If YOU need a reminder to keep showing up, to anchor YOURSELF in faith, and to lead with conviction when life gets heavy, this is an episode you cannot miss.
