    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.

    After 17 years of marriage, her husband left her for her cousin. She wanted to make his life hell. Then Johnny asked her 1 question about God, and she broke down crying. Nothing about her situation changed, but she walked away free. If someone betrayed you, this is the question to ask yourself.

    I quit filling every silence with my phone, because reaching for it the second things got quiet is a sign that I'm depending on something. But sitting in silence doesn't mean you're automatically hearing from God. Some people sit in silence and only hear their own thoughts, and then they think it's God. Don't trust all your thoughts; you have to have discernment, or you'll just end up listening to yourself.

    In 1 month, Johnny had his work stolen, his car hit, his license suspended by mistake, and a friend pass away. He kept asking God for the lesson behind it all. Here's what he found: your pain is usually not what hurts you most. It's the thought that a real Christian shouldn't be struggling at all. You'll also hear why King David complained to God out loud, and why that pulled him closer instead of further away.

    He had a dream where everything was pure blackness, and all he could see was a glowing figure of himself on his phone. He knew exactly what he was looking at. Then he saw demons with clown-like devilish faces and reptile bodies swarming around that version of him. A voice told him this is what happens when you watch that stuff: you invite it into your life. He woke up sweating, like someone in a horror movie.

    You keep telling yourself you should be better by now. More faith, more discipline, more strength. But that pressure is what's crushing you, and it was never yours to carry. I had over 40 fights before I turned 16, and I still wake up with shoulder pain every morning. Just a few nights ago, it hit me that "I should be better by now" was really me saying God messed up, so here's what to do instead, and why being nothing compared to Jesus is the best news you'll ever hear.

He also opens up for the first time about being molested at 12 and why God allowed it, and the crew gets real about relationships, pride and lust.

    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.

    I needed to be right, and it made me miserable. When I trust only what I see, I try to fix everything myself, and I end up in pure misery. I learned this when a T-Mobile mistake dropped my credit score 50 points, and I stopped focusing on Jesus. The debt collector never budged, but when I gave it up to God, my heart was free.
