LIFE IS TO BE UNDERSTOOD NOT FEARED A conversation with Justin Thompson aka Just J

Episode quote

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.-Marie Curie Polish Scientist

Who is Just J, Justin Thompson? Why should you give ear to his thoughts on spirituality, life, being the catalyst for change for yourself or other people?

Bio

He is an author, brand builder, and host based in Fort Worth, Texas. My work lives at the intersection of theology, intentional living, and cultural commentary, and I have a reputation for taking big ideas and making them land in everyday language.

My book Eternity in Real Time: A Common Sense Approach to Christianity challenges the assumption that eternity is something you wait for — and makes the case, without religious jargon, that the present moment is already sacred ground. It's the kind of conversation that resonates whether your audience is faith-based, philosophical, or just genuinely tired of living on autopilot.

I'm also the founder of GUDWUDZ, a handcrafted walnut wood smoking accessories brand built entirely on the philosophy that how you do anything is how you do everything. Craft, intentionality, and restraint aren't just brand values — they're the operating system.

As a podcast co-host and content creator, I understand pacing, I know how to follow a thread, and I bring perspective that cuts across lanes — spirituality, masculinity, lifestyle, entrepreneurship, and purpose.

REASONS WHY FUTURE GENERATIONS CAN UNDERSTAND THE HUMAN COST OF WAR/Jenny Chan of PACIFIC ATROCITIES EDUCATION

Jenny Chan is the co-founder of Pacific Atrocities Education, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and teaching the often-overlooked histories of World War II in the Asia-Pacific region. Inspired by family memories and the work of historians such as Iris Chang, Jenny has spent more than a decade researching wartime atrocities, preserving archival records, and making these histories accessible to students, educators, and the public.

Through Pacific Atrocities Education, Jenny and her team have digitized more than one million pages of historical records, published educational books, trained student researchers, interviewed survivors and descendants, and produced public history videos through Pacific Front Untold. Her work focuses on truth, memory, education, and the belief that forgotten histories must be taught so future generations can better understand the human cost of war.

• Why are so many World War II stories from Asia and the Pacific so little known in the United States?

• How my own family history led me to this work, and why I felt responsible for preserving these memories.

• The importance of survivor testimony, especially as the wartime generation is passing away.

• Unit 731, biological warfare, and why these crimes were hidden for so long after the war.

• The role of archival research includes how hard it is to find, scan, organize, and explain historical records.

• Why Pacific Atrocities Education trains students to work with primary sources and tell these stories for the next generation.

• The connection between remembrance and justice, and why learning difficult history can help build empathy.

• Why these stories matter today, not only for Asian and Pacific communities, but for anyone who believes history should be told truthfully.
