In this video, I talk about why we reach for things like food, drugs, or pills, and how it is really about trying to fill a part of us that only God can fill. A man wrote in and told me he quit drugs, smoking, and drinking, but he is still stuck on pills, so I helped him see the difference between guilt and conviction.

I also talk about red flags and why hiding them is the wrong move. If you are trying to find love or wondering if you picked the right person, this episode is for you.

You cannot fix yourself, no matter how hard you try. There was a man who had been unable to walk for 38 years, and one sentence from Jesus made him stand up. In this episode, I talk about what surrender looks like, why we ask the wrong questions when we read the Bible, and why trying harder is not the answer.

In this episode, I open up about being molested at 12, being beaten at home, and joining a gang after feeling like I had no control over my life. I share how prison actually gave me structure I never had, and how I eventually found God and learned to trust his word over my own thoughts and feelings.

I grew up in a gang, and I gave my life for the hood because that felt like love to me. After 13 years in prison, I learned to never trust anyone, and that mindset still messes with me today. When people are good to me now, I can't understand it, and I still think it's too good to be true. In this episode, I talk about jealousy, comparison, and why I still struggle to accept help and love from people around me.

In this video, we sat down with Danny to talk about how God changed his life. He grew up feeling neglected by his parents, and that led him down a path of lust that started when he was only eight years old. By the time he was 15, he already had a child, and he would go on to have 5 kids with 3 different women. His father was murdered, and Danny told me how that loss made him hate God for years. But through it all, he found forgiveness and a relationship with God.

I sat down with Jake Bodine, who has spent the last 17 years leading a ministry called God Behind Bars. He told me about the time he sat down with a gang leader in a Texas prison who was ready to renounce everything, even knowing it could put his life at risk. He shared the story of watching a 75-year-old father meet his 50-year-old son for the first time. He also opened up about a moment where he judged a man in his own Bible study before God asked him a hard question about grace. This is a conversation about redemption, and about believing that no one is ever too far gone.

In this video, I talk about lust, addiction, healing, and what it really means to surrender to God. I explain why we fall into sin, and how Satan uses our trust in ourselves to trap us. I share the story of my pastor, who had nothing but built churches all over the world because he leaned on God and not on man. I hope this helps you see where your heart really is.

My friend's grandma started visiting him every night. She told him to quit drugs and go to church. But she was not his real grandma. She was a demon pretending to be her. This almost made him try to end his life. In this episode, I talk about how a demon can pretend to be someone you love, and how you can tell if it's really God or not.

📲 Make God a daily habit in your life: https://onelink.to/cothdailyapp In this Q&A session, Pastor Johnny tackles real, raw questions from the community covering everything from how to reflect Jesus in everyday friendships to what it truly means to "wait upon the Lord." He dives deep into heart posture as the foundation of faith, challenging the idea that cleaning up your lifestyle is the same as trusting Jesus with your life. Through personal stories about his father's health scare and honest conversations about sexuality, logic, and pride, Johnny strips away religious performance and gets to the heart of what God actually wants from us. If you've ever felt condemned by religion, confused by scripture, or trapped in your own thinking, this one is for you.

Drawing from the story of Jacob at Succoth and conversations with Pastor John, he unpacks why acknowledging our weakness is the first step toward depending fully on God. He challenges the heart posture that craves validation, exaltation, and being chosen, reminding us that our identity and worth come from Christ alone.

I had prayed for him more than almost anyone in my life, I watched him get so close to changing, and then he was gone.

Why do people follow God one moment and walk away the next? In this episode, Johnny explains how people often come to God wanting Him to fix their problems. But when God does not do things their way, they begin to question Him. The deeper truth is that many people do not really want God - they want control and quick answers. This episode is about surrender, and why trusting your own thoughts can keep you stuck. 🤝 WE'RE HIRING A-players at Core of the Heart!

They break down how that feeling often comes from comparison (NOT truth) and why sin doesn't actually change God's love, it just changes how you experience it. At the center of it all is grace, and the idea that you were never earning God's love in the first place. 🤝 WE'RE HIRING A-players at Core of the Heart!

In this session I'm answering your questions about faith and real life, but the main thing I want you to get is why your own feelings and logic are completely unreliable. I'm also keeping it super real about my own daily struggles with a recent situation at the gym and my past, just to prove that we only survive because God refuses to let us go.

I break down the brutal truth about what modern culture gets entirely wrong when it comes to dating, cutting off "toxic" friends, and the exhausting obsession with self-love. We dive deep into why modern boundaries and acting like the savior of your family are actually rooted in pure ego, and how true freedom only comes when you stop trying to be your own God.

In this episode, I break down why treating Easter as a one-day tradition is destroying your daily discipline, and how true Christian freedom means learning to fight from victory instead of fighting for it. We also dive into my 6-hour airport spiritual warfare, the demonic trap of Christian conspiracy theories like the Book of Enoch, and why I used to take my gang-banging energy to Venice Beach just to bully other pastors.

Mark Laita, the creator of Soft White Underbelly, sits down with me to reveal why he dumped $3.5 million of his own money into interviewing people on America's most dangerous streets, and the dark parenting truths he learned along the way. In this full-circle reunion, the self-proclaimed anti-religious photographer explains his uncanny ability to spot a liar in seconds, and how he accidentally built the exact platform that led me back to God and launched my preaching career.

Today, I had to give you guys the hard truth about why God actually keeps Satan alive on a leash to expose your hidden idols and completely shatter your self-righteousness. We also broke down why trying to be a "good" Christian actually repels Jesus, and how true faith means completely distrusting your own deceiving heart so He can finally do the work.

We dive deep into the dangers of performative Christianity, explaining why fighting your own mind is a losing battle and how true freedom only comes when you stop trying to manufacture your own holiness and surrender completely to God's grace.

Guys, I have a confession to make: I recently almost crashed out on one of my best friends over a joke, and God used that exact moment to show me that we everyday Christians are just as sensitive and corrupt as the elites we love to judge. In this livestream, we're getting brutally honest about killing our egos, why trying to stop your own sinning is actually a trap of self-righteousness, and how true freedom only comes when you admit you're entirely helpless and let Jesus take over.

Johnny Chang reflects on why many people feel unqualified before God and how that feeling is actually central to understanding grace. The conversation explores expectations, comparison in church, personal failure, and why God chooses the weak throughout the Bible. They also discuss grace, faith, and how recognizing your own limitations can lead to deeper dependence on God.

I expose the toxic "good Christian" delusion and explain why begging for forgiveness every time you sin is actually an insult to Jesus's finished work on the cross. We dive into the true meaning of the Pool of Bethesda, the story of a death-row inmate who understood grace better than most churchgoers, and why trusting your own feelings is essentially calling God a liar.

I'm showing you why your "butt hurt" over someone else's blessing is actually God's way of exposing your heart's comparison before it turns into pride. I'm breaking down the "Wait vs. No" formula to prove that when God closes a door or subtracts something from your life, He's actually just making room to multiply you in His perfect timing.

God protects the vulnerable and asks us to trust Him even when we do not understand, reminding us that coming back to Him matters more than never struggling. This message challenges works based thinking, pride in our own understanding, and the fear that our failures ruin our relationship with Him. Ultimately, it points to God's heart, who desires all to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
