Chanen Johnson, the wife of New Orleans Saints football player Juwan Johnson, shared a video on social media earlier this month where her husband is reading Proverbs 31 to her as she held their newborn in the hospital bed.
“Her husband also praises her. ‘Many women have also done noble deeds, but you surpass all of them.’ Charm is deceptive, beauty is fleeting, may the woman who fears the Lord would be praised. Give her the reward of her labor and let her works praise her at the city gates,” Juwan says in the video, posted on Oct. 11.
“POV: You just gave him a baby girl & this is what he does,” she wrote at the top of the video.
Juwan Johnson commented on the video from his personal IG account, writing, “This is how i wanna lead my girls.”
In a previous Instagram post on Oct. 7. from the same hospital bed before giving birth, Johnson wrote, “When you’re about to have a pre-birth panic attack so he reads the Word to you & speaks life over you.”
“& just like that, it was my easiest birth yet,” the caption accompanying the post reads.
Regarding Juwan Johnson, the football player prominently displays his Christian faith on social media, The Christian Post reports. According to his bio on X, it reads in part, “Jesus over everything else.” His location is listed as “God’s Direction.”
On the Sports Spectrum podcast earlier this year, Johnson spoke about his faith in detail, noting that he has come to appreciate the advice to “Look at God’s face instead of looking at His hand.”
“We’re always looking and asking for God for something,” he added, citing a common complaint to God as “you’re not doing this for me, you’re not doing that for me.”
Another common request, he noted, is asking God to “take this off my plate,” and he encouraged Christians to try a different approach: “It’s more so looking at His face, seeking His face, knowing His face.”
“I even switched my Instagram bio to ‘Salvation over circumstances,'” Johnson added, describing the “blood that He shed on the cross” as “way more important than my circumstances right now.”
