    Reading The Bible Could Be a SIN...Here's Why | #069 | Unlearned Wisdom

    📲 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.

    Is it sinful to be gay? (Pastor answers)

    📲 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.

    To anyone who just got betrayed: How to forgive like Jesus

    📲 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.

    How To Start Reading The Bible Like God Intended | #066 | Unlearned Wisdom

    📲 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!
