Communicates, aka Dr. Brad Johnson, LSSBB, CSM, is a Kingdom writer, a
communication practitioner, and an influential Bible teacher. Given the
assignments of assisting urban believers in articulating their stories, finding the resolution, and gaining the language of the Kingdom, BJ continually creates and
releases inspirational media content that highlights their stories and
experiences. "The Holy Spirit is constantly giving me things to write;
sometimes it's a book, sometimes it's an article for a Christian publication,
sometimes it's something for my blog site or social media, and sometimes it's a
song for another recording artist or me, I'm just the pen in His hand," says
BJ. In addition to faith-based media creator, he is the owner of Communic8 Life
Consulting, a communication consulting firm specializing in assisting
couples, families, and business teams in improving their interpersonal
communication skills. Additionally, he is the co-pastor of the urban café church Transformed

ABOUT THE NOVEL...
Sometimes it's the conversations not had that do the most damage to the people in our lives. Hard Conversations is a collection of short stories detailing the lives of five urban people standing at the intersection of their past and potential. Sensing that something is still off in the lives that they have built, each has to make the crucial decision whether to address their secrets long-buried or to continue living in the uncomfortable matrix they created. Only they can decide what their future will bring.
EXCERPTS...
Our
gifting often becomes our prison. I wrote this book to pull back the mask on
our experience, hoping that it compels us to confront our learned ability
to whitewash our pain with our talent and giftings. We are often taught that
the most outstanding value we bring to the world is solely present in what we do,
what we earn, or how well we play. In reality, our most significant value is in the
stories that we can articulate to those we influence once we have reached the
other side of trauma. Trauma that tried to silence our voice, a trauma that
caused a part of us to die in the fight, and trauma that threatened us to stay
silent after our experience with it because we should just be grateful that we
made it to the other side.

How to meet deadlines and remain sane…
I meet deadlines by pacing myself. If I know that I have something that I am
trying to complete over the next month, I create a plan to work on it on
certain days for specific periods.
I also build in make-up days if my schedule is thrown off by an
unexpected event or situation. If I
don't plan out a path to meet my deadlines, then I already know I will be
frustrated and probably not complete the task.
I have learned to release myself from the stress of deadlines by working
toward them strategically while holding the concept in mind that I can only do
my best. When I feel the creeping trap
of anxiety coming over me, I pray and remind myself that I am only one person, and I can only give it my best. I have
learned to release myself from the pressure that sometimes we put on ourselves
to do everything perfectly. I am
imperfect and will miss my deadlines every now and again; I give myself grace
and assess how to improve next time.
I refuse to allow obligations to cause me to lose my mind; that wouldn't
be good for anyone. Life is to be
enjoyed while living our assignments.
Set goals, hold yourself accountable, work toward your deadline, and remember
your humanity requires self-imposed grace.
