    In this stage, Johnny addresses a guy four months saved whose wife thinks "we're not good people" is negative self-talk - and breaks down exactly why leading with that kills the conversation before it starts. He also talks about hitting 100 million views in a month and why his first instinct was to be careful, the mean DMV lady who turned out to be the whole lesson, and why hypocrites (NOT serial killers) are the ones God names by name.

    📲 Make God a daily habit in your life: https://onelink.to/cothdailyapp This episode explores why true surrender has nothing to do with effort, how control is an illusion most people never admit to, and why you can't change people no matter how hard you try. The conversation covers trusting God in all circumstances, what it really means to let go, and how understanding that you were never in control is the only path to real peace.

    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!

  6. Satan's Favorite Lie About God's Love (Most Christians Believe It) | #058 | Unlearned Wisdom

    📲 Make God a daily habit in your life, download my app now: https://onelink.to/cothdailyapp Johnny Chang sits down with Jeremy and Aaron to unpack a question a lot of people quietly wrestle with: does God love some people more than others? 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!
