Welcome to Unlearned Wisdom! A gospel-centered podcast by me, Johnny Chang. Every episode is a special lesson that I have learned through God, my pastors, and my personal life experiences. Everything I speak about can be directly applied to YOUR own life, today. These lessons can't be learned from reading a book or sitting in a classroom. New episodes every Monday! Enjoy and God Bless.
- 250 - Sinned And Feel Nothing? Do This (Pastor Explains) | Discord Stage #075
Struggling with faith, sins or understanding the Bible? Download COTH Daily for daily guidance rooted in scripture: https://download.coreoftheheart.com/yt-unlearned-wisdom
Johnny Chang answers a question many Christians are afraid to ask: Can I come back to God if I don't feel bad about what I did? He looks at how Paul went from relying on the law to preaching grace, and why the Israelites struggled to trust God after crossing the Red Sea. Johnny also shares how he used to study the Bible to win arguments and what made him rethink why he was reading it.

I used to think anyone I wanted would be light years ahead of me and wouldn't even like me back. What I realized is that when you don't have something of your own, it's easy to depend on someone else to make you feel validated. Someone once asked me why God won't give them their godly spouse, and I told them it's because God is making them into one. The real question to ask yourself is, would you date you? That question made me realize I wasn't even where I needed to be to date the person I wanted.

You'll also hear why King David complained to God out loud, and why that pulled him closer instead of further away.

Mon, 12 Oct 2026 - 1h 40min - 240 - Why You Keep Falling Back Into Lust (It's Not Willpower) | Discord Stage #069
📲 Make God a daily habit in your life: https://download.coreoftheheart.com/spotify-uw If you keep falling back into lust, it's not because you're not trying hard enough. Someone asked me how to deal with temptation when they're not strong enough and keep falling short. Most of us fight it like we're fighting fire with fire. Then we fall once and immediately go, "Now I'm a porn addict. Now I'm a backsliding Christian." We turn what we did into who we are. But the Bible says you're still a new creature, and the righteous fall seven times. Don't trust the lust. Trust in God.

I spent many years in prison, and if I could give myself advice 20 years ago, here is what I would say. Stop trying to prove that you're strong, or that you're not broken, because that caused my own demise. I was scared to be myself, and I cared too much about what people thought of me. When you're broken, you think you've wasted your years, but God can use those years too. He takes everything that's broken and makes it beautiful again.

📲 Make God a daily habit in your life: https://download.coreoftheheart.com/spotify-uw
I grew up in a strict Christian home, but by my teens I was deep in gang life, and it landed me in prison with two felonies. When I became a Christian, I hid my tattoos and chased a title in the church so I could feel good enough. Trying to earn my way to God gave me panic attacks so bad, I begged doctors to scan my brain for a tumor. It got so dark I had thoughts of taking my own life. Then I heard one message about salvation, and for the first time, all that anxiety finally left.

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 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.

I did 13 years in prison and when I got out I was still carrying guilt for everything I had done but what nobody told me was that my sins were already gone before I even walked out. Jesus did not wait for me to get my life together. He already took care of it.

📲 Make God a daily habit in your life: https://onelink.to/cothdailyapp Most people read the Bible wrong and don't even know it. In this episode I show you why reading the Bible actually matters, how reading it the wrong way can hurt you, and I walk you through the exact method I use to connect Bible verses together like a chain.

📲 Make God a daily habit in your life: https://onelink.to/cothdailyapp A few years ago I lost one of my closest friends and I blamed God for it. 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. Through that pain I had to learn that God always answers prayer, the answer is just sometimes yes, sometimes no, and sometimes wait. In this episode I talk about how to know when God is actually speaking to you, what to do when he says no, and how to stop mistaking your own voice for his.

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 - 2h 03min - 183 - Why God Uses Satan To Reveal Your Hidden Idols | Discord Stage #40
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.

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 - 1h 32min - 182 - How to Stop Intrusive Thoughts Without Fighting Them | #053
I open up about my dark past as a manipulator to reveal the spiritual truth behind why God actually allows us to suffer from intrusive, negative thoughts. 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.

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 - 1h 41min - 181 - Every Christian Has This Hidden Monster Inside Them (Do You?) | Discord Stage #39
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.

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.

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 - 1h 02min - 178 - Why Does God Bless Others Instead of You? | #051
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.

I'm exploring why we feel so exhausted trying to "fix" our parents, only to realize our own pride and ungodly expectations are actually what's pushing them away. We're getting real about being "holy dirt" and why we have to stop breaking people's arms for God, because true peace comes from trusting His work on the cross rather than our own religious performance.
