📲 Make God a daily habit in your life: https://onelink.to/cothdailyapp Did you know reading your Bible could actually be a distraction? In this episode of Unlearned Wisdom, Pastor Johnny Chang opens up about the 5 years he spent debating strangers on the beach, studying Hebrew, Greek, and scripture not to bring people to Christ, but to win arguments. He breaks down how "good" behaviors like Bible study, ministry work, and church attendance can quietly become the very distractions keeping you from God.

📲 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.

📲 Make God a daily habit in your life: https://onelink.to/cothdailyapp In this message, Johnny shares hard truths about the hidden idols of comfort and knowledge, and how they quietly keep us from real spiritual growth. 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. A raw and convicting call to drop the filter, distrust your own thinking, and forgive everyone who has hurt you.

📲 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. I learned this method after reading the Bible front to back 27 times and it is the same thing I taught 75,000 people during our 30 day streamathon. If you apply what I share in this video your mind will get quieter, your life will start to level up, and you will finally feel like the Bible actually makes sense.For Live Event Information and to RSVP click here: https://events.coreoftheheart.com/ 🤝 WE'RE HIRING A-players at Core of the Heart!

📲 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.

I dive into the profound concept of surrendering control to God, emphasizing that true strength and spiritual growth emerge from acknowledging one's own weaknesses and distrusting self-reliant thoughts and feelings. We highlight the dangers of self-righteousness and the deceptive nature of the human heart, urging listeners to align their heart posture with God's will rather than their own understanding or desires.

I talk about pride, judgment, intelligence, and the danger of thinking you fully understand God. I also share why many Christians become harsh, critical, and self-righteous, not because they know God deeply, but because pride can disguise itself as spiritual maturity. Knowing how to acknowledge these problems will draw you closer in your walk with God. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

📲 Make God a daily habit in your life: https://onelink.to/cothdailyapp 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!

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.

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.
