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.

Show notes

📲 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.
