NFL fans left stunned as new head coach 'introduces controversial religious sessions in training'
New Jets head coach Aaron Glenn has divided opinion among fans after apparently bringing religious sessions to the franchise. Glenn, 52, was hired by the organization in January and has been tasked with getting Gang Green to the playoffs for the first time since 2010. And the former Lions defensive coordinator seems to be leaning on his faith - and encouraging others to do the same - as a picture of a supposed 'Jets Bible study' handout spread on social media. 'The Jets have a Bible study? [Aaron Glenn] I love you,' read the initial X post, which was purportedly taken from the Instagram story of safety Jarius Monroe. 'We need Jesus,' another said of the struggling franchise. 'Lombardi was a devout Catholic so maybe there's something to this,' a third added of the legendary Packers coach. A picture of an apparent handout from 'Jets Bible study' spread on social media Others, however, were not impressed. 'If this is true I might be out on the Jets,' one fan said. 'wtf are they doing in my organization dawg,' a second added. And a third took a shot at the team's owner, Woody Johnson, writing: 'God cant save you from @woodyjohnson4.' The picture, which was posted on X by a Jets fan before being spread by conservative accounts, is said to derive from the Instagram account of Monroe. Monroe's name is written in the corner of the page, while five different sections of the the page are completed. The Daily Mail has reached out to the Jets to confirm whether the picture is legitimate. Glenn, who was a Pro Bowl cornerback with the Jets during his playing days, previously came under fire this offseason when Aaron Rodgers criticized how his exit from the organization was handled. Speaking on the Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers slammed Glenn for making him fly from California to New Jersey for an extremely brief conversation where he learned he wasn't wanted. 'I figured that when I flew across country to my dime there would be a conversation (over his future),' Rodgers said. 'The confusing thing to me is I went out there, I meet with the coach, we start talking… he runs out of the room. I'm like 'that's strange.' 'Then he comes back with the GM and I'm like all right. So we sit down and I think we're going to have this long conversation and 20 seconds in and he (Glenn) goes: 'You sure you wanna play football?' And I said 'yes' and he said 'we're going in another direction at quarterback'. Ultimately, the Jets signed Justin Fields to a two-year, $40million contract in free agency to see what they can get out of the dual-threat quarterback. Glenn's Jets will begin the regular season on September 7 against the Steelers.

God in the Bible & Going Beyond the Tribal Deities Idea: New Betty Johansen Blog
Betty Johansen's new blog article explores how Christians can separate their understanding of the God of the Bible from the notion of tribal deities, offering insights into biblical study. Big Spring, United States, May 25, 2025 -- Wordsmith World is excited to announce the release of a new blog article by Christian author Betty Johansen. In this article, Johansen delves into how Christians can differentiate their understanding of the God of the Bible from the concept of tribal deities, a challenge often posed by skeptics. The article is titled 'Is the God of the Bible Just Another Tribal Deity?' and is the first in a two-part series focused on understanding the true nature of God. Further details can be found at As with Betty Johansen's other articles, this first part of the blog - which is aimed at adult readers - emphasizes the importance of careful, thoughtful Bible study for Christians who want to grow deeper in their faith and avoid misconceptions about God's nature. According to a 2019 survey by the Barna Group, 63% of Christians expressed a desire for more in-depth knowledge of the Bible, with many indicating that Bible study was key to improving their understanding of God's character. This aligns with Johansen's message that a careful study of Scripture can shed light on God's divine purposes and protect believers from misinterpretations. As skeptics often argue, the God of the Bible seems similar to other deities worshiped by ancient nations. They claim that Yahweh is just another 'tribal god,' engaged in petty battles for power and resources. Johansen's article presents a compelling argument against this perspective, showing that Yahweh is not like the other gods of the world's ancient civilizations. Instead, Yahweh is the Creator of all, whose actions throughout the Old Testament serve as both a protective measure for His people and a warning for future generations. She explains, 'The God of the Bible is not some tribal deity. He is the Creator of all spiritual beings, and His plan goes far beyond the narrow scope of territorial conflicts. His actions, though difficult to understand at times, are always for the protection of His people and the promotion of goodness.' The article also draws a parallel between the Old Testament command to Joshua to 'clear out' the Promised Land and the necessity for modern believers to clear out spiritual darkness from their own lives. This idea, Johansen suggests, is a crucial part of understanding God's love and justice. 'Is the God of the Bible Just Another Tribal Deity?' is part one of a two-part series. The second article, 'God's Big Battle Plan: Understanding How Our God Protects Us,' has been written for children and further explores the biblical narrative of good versus evil, emphasizing God's role in protecting His people from the forces of darkness.
