    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

I share what happened to me when people I trusted the most turned their backs on me, and how that was harder than 13 years in prison. I explain why we can never lean on people, only on God. I also answer questions about breakups, marriage, faith, and trusting God when life feels hard.
