Why You Can’t Change Anyone (Not Even Yourself) | #061 | Unlearned Wisdom

So what I'm going to do, guys, is I'm going to read, I'm going to read off of it, okay? And Aaron just ruined the whole thing. It's okay though. We're going to do it because I'm already nervy. All right, let's go. During this entire month of May, I'll be live streaming every morning at 9 a.m. Pacific Standard Time. If you feel like your spiritual walk with God needs a nice reset, join me for this Get Right With God 30 Day Challenge. I'll be walking you through my daily morning routine that helped me get to where I am today. We'll start off every morning with a daily devotion. I'll show you how to read. I'll show you how to read. I'll show you how to read. I'll show you how I read and annotate the Bible. We'll pray together and I'll do a short Q&A. At the end of this challenge, I'm confident you'll walk away with one, a daily routine that you can actually achieve, two, a fresh view of how to hear God's voice, and three, you'll learn how to apply the Bible to your own personal life. To join, go to the description of this podcast and download my new app, Core of the Heart Daily App. Then just hop on any social media platform at 9 a.m. Pacific Standard Time, where I'll be live. Let's get right with God together. And as you listen to this, you probably missed the stream of thought in this morning. It actually depends when you watch this podcast, but it's every single morning for the rest of this month. Going through it already, I feel like a new man. Yeah, God, it's been so good. This is day 11. It's been very transformative. Super good. And honestly, there's so many people using the app. They're loving it. Genuinely helping people. You know, it's crazy. There's over 75,000 people have already downloaded this app. It's so nuts, bro. And I'm just loving on the daily devotions. You can read people, people can comment so you can see the community. And you people are writing starting to write paragraphs to love in the daily devotions. Yeah. And I think it's really cool to be honest. I never had a Bible morning routine, but following the app, I genuinely, I wake up in the morning instead of doing scrolling, I read the daily devotion, and then I start reading the Bible. That's fine. Do you take notes from the daily devour or do you take it from the Bible? I, I do it from the Bible part mainly. The daily, like, I don't have too many notes on the daily devotion because it's so thorough. And I'm just like, Oh, I understand this, you know, the Bible, I'm like, I don't understand this. I'm gonna ask Johnny later. I don't understand this. I'm gonna type this in a gospel bond later. But I know a lot of people who from the daily devotional are writing down the one line bangers that we have. Oh, wow. And they're just like remembering it. And I see it more in the discord stage. Well, they're, they'll literally put the one line banger.

Wow. And I'm like, what? So they're, they're taking notes of the banger. And that's because it does make sense. Yeah. Any other person when they're sitting there, like, if it's outside of even Christianity, there's always that one liner, right? Where like someone will, well, Charles, whatever, don't trust your thoughts. Yeah, like one of those one that sticks out to me. Yeah, but I'm saying like, but you have other motivate, like David Goggins probably has this go, you know, we're going to care about. Yeah, whatever it is. Like people will remember that. So it's really cool to see that kind of like correlate through the daily devotion. Wow. That's crazy. Johnny's Johnny's one liners. Well, name a Johnny one liner. Don't touch your thoughts. No, I use that one. If you hang around a barbershop for too long, chances are you're going to get a haircut. I got another one. Another one is a different piece. You can do that with every letter, different A's or your B's. Yeah, if it's not, if it's not reconciliation, it's redirection, different R's. Yeah. The Johnny alphabet book. The best way to start your morning though, genuinely, because I remember when we were, we were doing those scripts and filming the videos for it. And it was like, every morning, the first thing you grab is Instagram. And now you've already given your first moments of the day to the world. And I'm like, that is just so true because it's like the second I wake up, I'm doom scrolling already. Or just even before I get out of bed, I'll check my whatever. And then your mind is already in this place of like, Oh, these people are making money. This person just fell off a cliff. There's horrible news here. Just like all this pretty stuff versus started. And it's just a bad start to your day, honestly. And even though if it's five minutes, like you could think about it as like, I could give five minutes to the algorithm or I can give five minutes to God. Right? So it's like, it's really, really cool. You're already giving up the five minutes. Yeah, like take it back or claim the five minutes. That's a bar though. Give it to God or the algorithm. Yeah. The other thing I was going to say is I'm going to beat up the development. 'cause I've lost my streak so many times now. - Dude, so many people have been commenting that. We wanna apologize, we're getting on top of that, guys. Genuinely. - No, no, no, I lost it because I'll miss a day. - Yeah, that's why everyone misses it

'cause they won't get the notification or something. It's like, that's the point is you gotta make God a habit in your life. It's like, yes, we help you and build all the tools. And you gotta turn your notifications on. - True. - But it's also about kind of doing it every morning and checking in. It's like you're willing to check in with your Snapchat streaks. Why wouldn't you check in with God? - Yep, kind of the whole turn. - Turn your notes on. - Yeah, turn the notes on. Also, yeah, I think we're gonna add a premium. - We're adding a bunch of, for the premium members, there's a lot of pro features. So you can do the whole app for free, but then there's a lot of pro features. And I think for one of them, we're gonna let people get their streaks back. You can have like 48 hours to do your streak or something. - That was in dollars. I mean, I'm sorry, in truth. I'm just kidding. - Well, let's get into the episode. - Today, we'll be talking about how others stop Jeremy. - Do we why it's tough? You're gonna get me. I'm gonna just read off of this. Guys, today, what are you talking about? Why Christians seem to judge more than others?

How to tell if correction is coming from a place of love or a place of envy or a place of hate. And towards the end, I'm gonna show you guys why rejection and being hated can actually be really good for a believer. Welcome back to another episode on the Unlearned Wisdom podcast with yours truly Pastor Johnny Ching, where every episode is a gospel center lesson that you could apply to your life today. - Today. - Like, comment, subscribe. - And download the audio episode. - Can I share with you guys something crazy? - Yeah. - It happened this week. And I'm gonna say where I went. I went to another place. It was outside of California, okay, Texas. And what I did was we went to go meet multiple pastors and bro, okay, what inspired me to talk about this episode was because of what happened, like literally two days ago, three days ago, I would say. - I like these types of episodes. - Yeah, it was literally crazy. So I basically went, we went to kind of like a pastoral conference where only pastors could kind of meet, right? And we work a lot of times cross the nominationally. And so it's just a pastor who saw my stuff, had kind of like a medium-sized church. When I say medium, it's probably like 500

to like 800 congregation. - Pretty big. - Pretty big. But like, I think that's kind of small for certain states, right? That are really big, okay? So for me, he comes up to me and you know something's bad when you shake someone's hand and they go, I know you. - Oh gosh. - So you're, I'm on, I'm like, all right, hold up. Was that one a like, I know you, or was it like, I got a bone to pick with you. And sure enough, it was a ladder. So the pastor was like, he was like, hey, you know, I had seen a lot of scripture and you talk about being righteous, you talk about being holy. And we're in front of like 30 other pastors by the way, or like some of them were like deacons, but like, let's say church elders, leadership, right? And so the other pastor, Korean pastor, he's just like, what's going on? And then this guy, he's obviously Americanized and then it's me and then all these other Americanized pastors. So we sit there and he's like, you talk about sanctification as not being a process. You talk about, you know, a lot of things that we feel like are very heretical.

And I knew that Holy Spirit would allow our cross to pass, to cross our paths to cross one day. And I was like, okay. And he's like, today's the day, right? Oh my gosh. He's like, put them up, put them up, right? - It sounds like it was. - That's what it was. And I was like-- - But when he said we, he had other pastors standing behind them? - Yes. - And they were all ready. - I think they were like part of it. Like, okay, so what people don't know is there's a lot of pastoral islands and there's also a lot of pastoral cliques, right? Like most pastors will know other pastors and they'll be like, yo, like what you think about this? Like it's just part of it, right? There's circuits essentially is what they call them. And so it was just funny. Like I get there, I'm thinking, okay, we're gonna go, we're gonna, you know, they're gonna have me as a speaker. Great, you know, I'm gonna talk. But it was more of like, we're gonna check your stuff before we allow you to speak, which a lot of people do, right? You have to protect the sheep. I understand that aspect, it's okay. But the way he came was very raw, right? And I was like, okay, I like that. And so when the thing that he was debating with me about was specifically 1 Corinthians 6, 9 and 10.

So he goes, and that's the famous scripture that says, no, you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God, be not deceived. Neither foreign affairs nor idolatiers nor back. Those are the two verses and so I'm saying that to a regular person how they would view that So they view that as you better do good works if you're still doing any of those things. You're not getting a heaven It literally says no you not that the unrighteous of you doing any of those unrighteous things therefore you are an unrighteous individual You're not gonna get to heaven. So He's like where do you then like have the nerve like it was this type of energy like where do you have this nerve to say that we're Perfected and righteous right now because you don't understand that the difference between sanctification is a process and positional sanctification and progressive sanctification is like throwing out these big words, right? Which aren't really big if your study you understand what that is and so I'm sitting there and I'm just like kind of smiling You know and he's sitting there and he has this look that's like I got you like, you know, it's like yeah What you're gonna say Holy Spirit? Vested in me to tell you and I'm just like for sure pastor and I appreciate that and he kind of looked at me He's like so what's your what's like your rebuttal and I sat there and I was like two things, right? I'm like I can I can sit there and give them the next verse which is verse 11 or I can go and Listen to what Holy Spirit was telling me which is through Scripture which was Proverbs it says like when you see a fool, right? don't like Entertain a fool because you'll become like a fool, right? And I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but I could see that he already kind of wrote me off He had these preconceived notions about me. So I Decided to kind of do a hybrid I went well verse 11 says but right which negates everything and then he's like okay All right, well, let's look at a bust out his Bible and this dude's like maybe mid 50s early 60s, right and he's like He buses it open He highlights 9 and 10 and I see that 11 is not highlighted And so and I said can you read that and he had KJV version 2 and he goes and such were some of you But ye are washed ye are sanctified ye are justified

So I sat there and I looked at him and I said can you explain to me what washed is and what tense is because when I look at it Pastor I see it as already washed washed means it's already if I wash something did you wash your clothes? Yes, they're washed means they're already done Sanctification says sanctified past tense already sanctified So maybe you could help me with this and he's like I will for sure help you and he like pulls out his glasses And he puts on his glasses and he's looking at it. He's reading it. He's reading it. He's reading it is reading it and he goes Well, it doesn't mean that we could just do whatever we want and I'm like, okay I understand that but do you understand why I drew the conclusion of why we're sanctified now because it says it right here And then he goes Well, what's your point? And I'm like wait But your point was to say that I and I and it got kind of like convoluted, but at the end of it He just kept going on. He's like, you know, that's the thing, you know, how long you been a Christian? You know, I'm like 10 years. So he's you he's like pop you're watching me, right? How long you been a Christian? I've been 10 years he goes. Okay. How long have you actually do you have you been a seminary? Yes, I have are you actually ordained? Yes, I am. Okay, so what kind of ministry are you ascending ministry? Are you a planting ministry? Are you a you know, and I'm like, well, we are ascending church and also I do prison ministry. That's my main ministry I started there. I haven't stopped doing that and he goes, okay So you just hit the influencer stuff like recently what's going and he's like checking me, right? Everything at the end of it When that thought came up that scripture came up of proverbs of saying don't be like them. I Was like, you know what God? I'm gonna just let him win everything Like I sat there and I was like I'm gonna I'm gonna agree with everything. He says Just to see what it would be like so I sat there and I went man pastor. You know what? You're right That's all I said and he's like he like I changed my tone, right? I was like, you're absolutely right He goes so you believe and you agree with the Holy Spirit today that you've said some things that were incorrect I said absolutely and he's like, okay, good and I could see him like life coming out of him. He's like, okay Yeah, well, all right. So sanctification is progressive, right? It's it's not it's not just positional. It's progressive. Yes. It is. Amen You should teach me the ways. What is it that I need to say you need to read Romans more you need to read 1st Thessalonians more absolutely pastor. Thank you so much And I was doing this and literally bro was like my best friend at the end of it

He was like you you're very humble and what I realized was this when a person wants to judge you and debate you But once you sit there and go you're absolutely right There is no I agree with your judgment. Everything is good. They immediately lose interest And then I realized they're not after the truth They're after you need to agree with me because I and my version of the truth is right and then I was like, dude And I sat there and I'm like, wow, this, and then the thing that he said that really broke my heart was he goes, you know, for a long time, like I've been having the Holy Spirit speak to me. And the Holy Spirit told me to tell you, and I knew that the Holy Spirit would change your heart to agree and to follow God, and to truly repent. And brother, and he's like squeezing my trap, you know, he's like, you repented today. And in my head, I was like, bro, I'm playing you. You're talking about Holy Spirit, but you can't even see that what I'm doing right now is I'm just agreeing with you so that to expose a heart that you want me to agree with you. That's all it is. And they were like, that's the state of Christianity nowadays. It's like, oh, if you agree with me and what I think because I'm studied and I know what's up and I know that Septuogen and I exegete scripture and I'm right and I know what's up. So if you go against me, you're a heretic. And I'm like, so I'm gonna just follow you then. And when I did, all of that stuff, I became his best friend. - Tuition, right?

Is that person unsavable? Because he's gonna walk away from that. And I'm only just assuming, maybe he'll wake up one day and be like, dude, that guy did say something that kind of struck me now when I read what he says, my perspective changed. But overall, is that guy unsavable? - No one's unsavable, but the issue is, you can expose things. You can see where their heart posture is. If that heart doesn't change by the grace of God, they're literally, it just makes sense why everyone throws the word false prophet, false teacher around. Basically, false teacher is not, you don't agree with scripture anymore. False teacher is, you don't agree with my interpretation of what scripture is. That's what it is nowadays. It's like, I think that I know what's up. I did my stuff, I learned everything. If you don't put in the work or you, I know it's up, if it doesn't match me, who is still you at the center of it and you as a judge, then basically, you're gonna be written off. It gets to a point where I think it's like pride, right? It's like, you can't listen if that's the case. But when I look at him, there are things that he was saying that was leaking of his heart too.

He was like, this is why people shouldn't be platformed. And I'm like, why do you think of that? Why are you mentioning my followers, right? He asked me, how many followers do you have? I'm like, why does that even matter? Why, like, and I realized it's more than you. But they say that because that's like their deepest fear. I think what they want is like, like when someone calls someone fake, right? I kind of thought about it. Like when I call other, when I was in the streets and I was like, that's who's fake. Two things would happen. Fear and pride. And I'll explain. Pride would be like, dang, I'm not like this guy. But the other side of my heart would be like, dude, I hope I never end up like this dude. So there is this heart of like really trying to maintain. So when someone goes, how many followers do you have? It's two parts. It's, I want that many followers. They should be listening to me. And I'll confirm why I came to this conclusion because afterwards, bro, literally was like, you should invite me onto your podcast. You should have me come on live. I'm not, God is my witness. You should come, you have me and we should talk about this because I want other brothers and sisters to see

that you're not this arrogant person. I'm like, dang, so you thought I was arrogant. You thought I'm not qualified. You think my platform is not, I don't deserve it. You don't, where is God in all of this? You don't see all of that stuff. And that's when I realized like, that's what he actually wants. And he's like, do you, would you agree to have me on your platform? And I was like, I'll think about it, pastor, you know? But at the end of the day, it's like-- - You should invite him on, but you're not there. It's just arid. You're like, skip that day. You know, Pokemon? - Pokemon's demonic. But so it's, it's just, you know, I was able to see like, yo, this is something that's so good. They're judging based off of, I love you, but the real heart is not, it's more of like, I'm gonna see if your theology matches my theology, 'cause somehow I'm human and I can't be flawed and my theology is perfect. And if it doesn't match what I think that is, you're F'd basically. - Okay, so just playing internet goblin here. - Yes, sir. - Yeah, I'm on your side by the way. - I know, I know.

- So here we go. - A lot, I'm not racist, but-- - No, I'm just kidding. (laughing) - But as I said, but the first thing someone is gonna say that is in that prideful position is, oh, so then Johnny, why is your way the right way? 'Cause I never said my way is the right way though. That's the difference. I just preach and I believe God will correct could be the one that's correcting you. Sure, but look at the fruit though. The fruit is like, we addressed the situation, we went to scripture, but how does it shift when I go, everything you said is right? Forget the scripture, everything you said is right. Yeah, see, that's different, right? We're gonna address the scripture, that's what it is. And honestly, it takes a specific type of person to watch another person, check out all their theology and be like, yeah, he's wrong. If you're really preaching the gospel, I'm just gonna keep it real. You have no time to do all of those things. Jesus didn't go to the, he didn't go to the Pharisees, the Pharisees came to him. Jesus was too busy doing miracles, preaching the gospel and doing all that. Of course, we're not, I'm not Jesus. Neither are you guys, but we have him in our heart.

And what if we're truly obedient to him, his Bible literally says, seek ye first, first priority, the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all else will be added unto you. These people wanna come up to me and say stuff about me. I'm like, bro, I don't even know who you are. People send me videos, it's almost like people make videos about me daily. And I'm like, I don't even know who these people are, respectfully. Why? Because we're too busy trying to go to Sweden. We're too busy trying to preach the gospel. We're too busy trying to create an app to make people get closer to the gospel. I don't understand how anybody, I've never been able to do that, where I sit there and I go, I'm gonna jump in a comment section and let them know my two cents. Whereas if you're sitting there and you're spending 20 minutes like reviewing somebody's video, why not spend 20 minutes preaching the gospel? I think it would be way more productive, way more effective. And that's just what I've been taught. Even at my church, we don't go and go, that pass is wrong, that pass is wrong, that pass is wrong, we're right. Like, no one ever has that energy. It's more of like, none of us are right.

We're all trying to live spiritual life. We're all under grace. We could mess up, we could err. We can have all types of stuff like that. And yet, Jesus Christ leveled the playing field for all of us. So let's just focus on Jesus, what his message was, him preaching the gospel and that's that. And I mean, that's just what we do, you know? So, yeah. - It's kind of interesting too, that you've been doing this for 10 years, but it's only until you have followers. And obviously, it's 'cause you're putting yourself on the internet. And I think it is because people are seeing, for me, right? I went to church my whole life too. Well, not my whole life, but 'til I was like 18. And it was, it just, and then it was only until you explained the Bible to me in a way that I was like, wait a second. This makes a lot more sense than what I was taught. - Honestly, Jeremy, did it change your life for real? - Changed my life. - 100%. - And so, I see that change, like it's growing so fast because it's changing people's lives. You're simplifying it in a way that makes sense for people.

And I think that I can only imagine that there's people that are watching a clip and going to their pastor, who's not teaching it necessarily the same way, and being like, who's this guy right here with tattoos? What he's saying kind of makes sense to me, but I have questions. And then if they're not able to answer it or they go, oh, he's so wrong, you gotta watch out for her. That guy's probably not a pastor. Look at him, he's got tattoos. He's just an influencer, like, you know what I'm saying? So I can see how maybe that's also happening, which is why there's people that are upset because they're probably getting challenged by their own congregations. And I'll be honest, I've definitely talked to people in the cock community that say, I can't go to my church anymore. Doesn't make, it doesn't hit the same. So I can only imagine how pastors feel. - How many people don't say that, yeah. - Yes, facts. - So what I noticed with them is like, why Christians, these are leaders, Christians seem to judge others more than just regular, normal atheists, just people of the world secular, whatever. And even just other religions in general, right? We have that kind of stigma that Christians were better, we're holier than now and we judge others.

And I realized this pastor was quoting scripture. This pastor was legit busting open. His Bible looked like ripped up, like it was so old. He was, he studied for sure. But I realized why his judgment came. And people would say it's pride, but we gotta peel that layer back. People get prideful simply because they forget that they need grace too. At the end of the day, that pastor, anyone here, any pastor, you start to judge other people when you realize you grew in faith by grace. You went to church by grace, 'cause there's a lot of people out here who don't have a church, people in Congo getting their heads chopped off, just to even express their faith, Muslim countries where they're literally getting stoned, exiled, executed, all that, just to express their faith. And we're over here like being able to debate and judge people online is kind of wild. It's because we forgot our grace. We forgot that we need grace. And so when you think I got smarter because, you know, I, I, I, you know, and I forget that I got smarter because of grace, or I walk more up right now, and I don't sin as much because of grace, not because of my behavior management and my discipline, that's when you start to judge other people

and go, "How come you're not doing what I'm doing?" And it was just that type of energy. So Christians judge solely because they forget that they need grace too, and we need grace every single day. If God doesn't hold on to you, He lets you go for like a month. You will literally go back to dirt. You will go back to a dog will return to his vomit. You have to realize that God is always holding on to you. He's always protecting you, right? And people say this all the time too. Like I tell them in my discord community, I go, "You guys worship and sing and all that?" First and foremost, God had to give you the grace to have beautiful lungs because not everyone, I can't sing for Jack Dilly Squat. I ain't got no pipes at all, right? But people literally can sing, and they start to forget, "Oh, it's 'cause of me, I'm amazing." Right, but let's say you wake up, right? Let's say you don't even wake up. You can't even worship God. You can't go and sing in the choir. You can't praise and worship God. Let's say you do wake up, but you get in your car and you wanna drive to your church to go and practice for worship. And then you get T-Bone,

God doesn't protect your car to and from church. You're not gonna be able to preach. You're not gonna be able to sing. You're not gonna be able to worship and praise. Everything starts with grace, right? But the issue is people forget grace and what they try to do is they try to correct. And I don't think correction is bad, right? I don't think correction is bad. I think people should be corrected. But what people do, and I use this analogy where they're literally grabbing medicine, it's like taking medicine. If you correct without love and without grace, it's like taking medicine and just throwing it at somebody, right? Yeah, it's probably good for them and it'll heal them, but you're like, "Take this, you'll feel the end," and you just throw it at their face. Like, there's a way to deliver those things. There's a way to go, "Hey, I was also sick one time. "I understand that that person's going through COVID. "I went through COVID. "That person struggling with X, Y, and Z, "let me help them," versus like, "What are you doing? "I, yeah, I was sick, but I got over here." And then you just chuck it at them, right? And so that's a W analogy, by the way. But basically, that's just what it is at the end of the day. Clippy bars, clips, man glazed his own analogy halfway through the sentence.

I don't care. I don't care, so what, so what? So when you first became a Christian, it was also a period of your life. The other thing, too, that people forget is like, you have all these experiences and understand this 'cause you went through it yourself. Like, you were that self-righteous person. Not me, though. When I became a Christian, I was never like that. So I just learned a little bit better. Amen. (laughing) But when did you notice, when were you able to reflect on your own self-righteousness when you first became a Christian? And where do you think it, like, seeped in? It's when you lose things. Like, when everyone starts off self-righteous, it's not, that's a normal thing. It's when I was like, when Pastor challenged me and said, where are your disciples? And I had none. When he was like, where are your fruits and I had none? When he was basically like, do you not see that you're wrong? And everyone, obviously, is telling me that I'm wrong. And then he's hitting that pain point of like, it's not that you don't wanna be wrong. It's too painful for you to be wrong.

And I'm like, dang, he hit me right in the, 'cause it's true. It's not that I don't wanna be wrong. I think I'm okay with taking accountability. It's the fact that I feel exposed after and I felt like weak. So to answer your question, I think the first time was when I would go to church, it was like the first couple months I had already had to wrestle with that. Where Pastor would say, like, you think you love me now, Johnny, but you're not gonna like me after a while. And I was like, what? And I couldn't understand it. And then when he started to check me and chastise me and like, correct me, I did start to develop the heart. And then he would lean into that. Like, do you still say that you love me? And he's just smiling and I'm like, no. You know, like, I'd be mad. And I would be like, huh. And then I would try to blame him and he would call that heart out. Like, you wanna blame me, right? Like, you think if I was just nicer to you, you think if I didn't make you scrub toilets. And I'm just like, yeah, if you know that, then what?

I'm getting more mad. Like, Jeremy, just laughing, dude. 'Cause he's rage-baiting me. - No, I'm not, I'm just-- - No, no, no, no. I'm saying, pastor-wise. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's hilarious. - And I'm just like, dang, but through that, he was basically stripping out the pride from me and going, look, I know you. I know what you're going through. And I'm like, dang, he's like, you don't know you and you don't know that I know you. That's the problem. And I was like, huh. And so when I would, yes, I would get mad. I think every chastisement is always gonna sting. I think truth will always hurt for sure. But once all that settles and pastor taught me this, too, the sting will sting first. But once it settles, you're like, dang, I was wrong. I probably should come back to-- stings and stings and it pushes you away and it's just like it doesn't let you come back essentially pastor would always do that he would talk trash about me and then he would expose me like that and then he would order like black bean noodles like after and just be like yeah let me get three black bean noodles and in my head I'm like there's two of you guys like why are you trying to get three and then I'm like oh he's trying to and then I would fight that oh he's just she thinks like I'm a big-back I am but you can't just win me back with food you know and then it's like let's show him that he could but he could win with food

legit and I'll be like he's so manipulative like and I would see like damn Johnny doesn't let anyone win like he won't he's always he's so right that like no matter what he won't even let people say sorry like and that had to come to me I don't remember when I just remember overarching I started to have this heart of like bro you don't even let people say sorry and the the uh the uh-huh moment for that was when I reflected back on my homies my homies would tell me they would be like this food is never wrong he's never wrong and I'm like what the eff are you talking about you say that about me all right sting me right now sting me right now just get it over with no no no but but genuinely though that was the moment where I I knew the level up and then I went to share that with pastor I was like hey pastor I realized that the time that you're telling me that I'm wrong and all that like I didn't just hear it from you guys I think I heard that all my life and then his ears perked up he's like oh unlock moment is this it like is he's gonna level up like it was this type of thing which I now understand I understand now because I didn't get it back then but he goes yeah go go on what do you mean please share your heart share your heart more and I'm like yeah like my friend you know I would name my friends like he said this and back then when I look at it I was like that man pastor I don't know why I'm like that and he's like that's why I'm here remember Johnny I said I'm your breaking system and all of that so I'm always so thankful to pastor like honestly he did he showed me in ways where like I was able to see myself outside of myself and then also reflect back on my homies and be like dang and then I would apologize to my friends because I'm like yo my bad I was legit wrong and I was manipulative and I was sensitive and I never wanted to be wrong my fault and they my homies would look at me like who the hell are you like how you saying sorry it's kind of crazy I was the type of dude who like literally would make everything correct like I would I was and I would placate to that I would be like oh yeah well I'd walk down the hood and just act like normal and I know these guys were gonna press me and I wanted to be violent with them so I would let them try to punk me and then I switch it on

them and then I'd be like hey see they try to they try to hurt me like I was manipulative to that point where I could have just went around but I'm like no I'm angry but I'm gonna let it out right now so I'm gonna placate and I'm gonna manipulate to where it looks like I didn't do nothing wrong so that and I would be so good at tricking myself into doing that too where I could go to sleep I could blast somebody and go to sleep and be like well he mess with me first I didn't I didn't do anything wrong that's crazy allegedly allegedly in my dreams at night that victim mindset of like I'm from this hood you don't want me to go to your very territorial your a different race hey I'm gonna walk down and you know you guys want to start stuff with me I warn you one time hey don't you don't want it you I promise you don't want it homie I swear to you don't want it oh yeah that's right and they'll do this type of stuff and then I'd up it basically and they'd be like oh my gosh and I'd be like I told you I was a nice guy I see I didn't do anything wrong and then that's what I would do because a guilt would come obviously when you heard somebody but then I'd be like hey but you you tried Johnny you're and I was like dude so it's it was crazy I was legit like psychopathic and I was also very like I can I can trick myself in a lot of ways you know so that's what you should have done to that pastor just let him walk right into your trap and then punk them dude I'm just kidding now that's why you're that's why I love your level up and you see you have to win souls not arguments because you can tell the difference between people who are doing that and not like and it's and you're always saying like oh if you want to preach the gospel to your friends you have to lead by example and let them see your peace and then they'll come to you and ask questions cuz when you try to tell someone something you just tell someone they're not gonna listen to you just tell someone to do something they don't listen but when they come ask you they'll listen to whatever you tell them because now they're asking you so yeah so it's like him that's just not a good way to win souls where it's like him trying to put you in an argument stance and oh I've been waiting weeks for this I've been

studying this it's like you could tell it's just he just wants to win the argument he doesn't care and then when he won the argument he lost the soul pretty much it was like you're like I don't want to do this he lost all inch it was so crazy how fast the switch-up was when I just was like and I'm good at that I'm like yeah wow pastor you're right you know I never seen it from that person like these little buzz words and he was just like I see it was such a shift he's like whoa like I'm telling the Johnny Chang yeah and I'm just like bro I don't even care like you know I let him know and now I'm sure he went and Yeah. Boy. You know, it's like, I was like, I mean, facts. And handle your business, that's what you got to do. But it's like, where is winning the soul in that? Where is a Christ-like aspect of that? Where is all of that? You know what I mean? And for me, it was like deceivers, yeah, true. Second Corinthians 6, 8 to 10, I thought about that verse. And I was like, first Corinthians 922, I'm like, let me just gain this heart, like whatever. I'm gonna let them just win. 'Cause all this back and forth, they're gonna do nothing. At the end of the day, like his blood pressure was sky high. Like, he was so mad that my presence in front of him was like, what are you doing here? You know what I mean? And I even was like, yo, do you wanna just speak? Like, I don't have to speak, you could speak. I'm not tripping. I don't care about my platform.

I don't care about none of that. You wanna step in front and do it. I'm just letting you know, these people are probably not gonna listen to you. Like, you could try it. And they did try to platform him. Like, let him go and speak, you know? And then, again, it was like, people weren't really listening to him. And I'm like, because when you preach legalism and you preach this like, I'm better than you type of energy, it only attracts people who are like, I'm better than you. And not better than you, no, I'm better than you. It's like, oh, that's a good sermon. All right. And then so when he did that, it's like, almost he got a taste of his own medicine 'cause other pastors were like, oh, you said this about this. And I'm just like, bro, you just did what you did to me. Like, it kind of, what goes around, comes around. And at the end of the day, I was able to see like, dude, people are just going to judge because I don't think that pastor had bad intentions. But I think his mind is like, I know what I know and I've done this for years. And it's very hard to convince me otherwise that I'm right and I know what's up. And I've read this Bible. Look at my Bible, it literally looks like ancient, right? It looks esoteric, but at the same time, it's like,

but your heart though, your heart doesn't even have a heart to be like, what is it, Johnny? Like, he didn't even try to allow me to explain. It was more of just like, I already know what you're going to say. I watched all your stuff already. And this is what it is. I'm just here to counter you. And I want to challenge your view. And I want you to know that your view is wrong. And so I went, okay, my view is wrong. And it was like-- - That's crazy. - What? - Like, it was like his boxing gloves were up and he's like, okay, I was like, you want a huggie? - I don't know how you have some patience for that. Like, that takes insane patience to just be like, all right, I'm going to let this guy just play this out. 'Cause I get on the roller coaster. - Sure, sure, sure. A lot of us do. But it's like, bro, it's like, I don't know, I just saw it as pitiful. I wasn't even trying to be mad. I always just looked at him like, damn, like you want this platform so bad, take it. Like, I've said it in the discourses. I was like, if I did that, they were like, we would leave, forget you don't do that, Johnny. I'm like, let's let them come on and say something.

Like, these people are not going to be able to hear you. So many people come to me and they say the same thing. Man, Johnny, I can't listen. I've never told anyone, God is my witness. I've never told anyone to leave their church. Never, not once. I just preach the gospel and they go, dang, it doesn't, it's not right. What they're saying is not right anymore. I heard this for 17 years and I can't unhear what you're saying. It took you one life to shift my whole perspective. And I'm like, I don't know, I'm just preaching. That's it. I'm not sitting here going, hmm, what should I do today? Let me make sure, like, empty out all the churches. Like, I never do that. I'm just trying to preach. And when you see the truth, bro, the veil gets lifted. I don't have to try to tell you nothing. That's just what it is. And I'm not, and that's what I love. I love my community. Shout out to them because I never had to placate to them. I never had to go, hey, guys, like, please, I love you. Please don't do it. Like, I literally let them draw. I fight with them. I fight for them. I keep it real with them. I keep it a buck.

If they tell me to take something down, I don't, I don't have to take it down. If I take something down, they don't get mad that I take it down. There's a lot of trust in our community. Shout out to core of the heart because you guys are sick and tired of people who just are, yes, men or people who are echo chambers like you do want to be challenged to, but not in a judgment away in a way that grows you. I think that's what our community legit does. And people don't like challenge. They don't like to be challenged because that's scary. It's scary. If somebody came to me, I thought about it, too, and there's no disrespect to anybody. If somebody came to me and they gave me without a shadow of a doubt that my gospel through the Holy Spirit and all that is false, that Jesus Christ, let's say they had like evidence that Jesus wasn't a real person, bro, I will be shook because I'm like, oh my gosh, but wait, but all the things that happened in my life, the pastor, Kim, the mentoring, the level ups, is that all in vain? Right there, your foundation is rocked and there's two things that's going to happen. Fight or flight. You're either going to go, oh, hell nigh and run away and go and find the truth or you're going to go hell nigh. You're going to hold on to it. You're going to fight everybody who attacks your truth. And so I understand it. I understand it 100%. They killed Jesus because of that. Jesus came down and said respectfully, y'all are scribes, Pharisees and sodasies. You wrote parts of the Bible, you recorded parts of the Bible, but you don't know anything. What were the chosen people? You're going to kill me and I'm going to show you that your hypocrite, your brutal viper, your this and that and they, they literally offed him.

They kill Jesus. Bro, it's crazy. So how much more are they going to do it to us? And we're ready for it because we know where we're going. But yeah, but now I want to know, sting me. What, Jeremy, what was it again? Correction. Not to be corrected. You want to tell me, tell me, tell me. Here's what you need to be corrected. Okay. You need to stop being a follower. Let me explain why you're a follower. because he has camel pants on. Aaron has camel pants on, and you have camel pants on. And guess what? You followed them. - I put all my pants first. - No, you didn't. - Yes, I did. - And then I said-- - See, look, he said sting me, right? Prime example. Sting me. - No, no, no, no, no. - He's not taking a camel. - No, look, yo guys. - He doesn't want to accept-- - He doesn't respect me. - 'Cause I was holding something, I was like, "Yo, should I bring this to the podcast today?" And they saw my outfit, and they all copied me. - Oh, really? Is that what it was, Aaron? - He's complaining now. - He's lying, dude. Aaron, is that what he did, Aaron 2.0? - He's a liar, dude. - This guy has no honesty, no honor. - So what, so what, so what?

How did you come up with those pants today? - He's trying to get into the knickknacks, but we can't take an elf or nothing. - Hey, wait, come on. Give me some real pastoral guidance. Sting me live on the podcast. - Yeah, get him. - Honestly, Jeremy, you learned a lot better. - No, no, no, cook him, cook him. - I'll get Aaron. - You've legit gotten a lot better. - We're like, "Yeah, get him." - Yeah, come on. - You didn't get him. You're like, "I'm gonna get myself." - I'm a big stupid idiot, you know what I'm saying? But no, you've gotten a lot better, Jeremy. There's really nothing that I see that's really, really bad. - Clip that. - Bro, said clip that isn't a play like 100 times. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've got better. - I think all of us could work on the topic of this episode, which is judgment for the most part. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - And I'm not saying why have a lot of good questions around that. - I just think if we're all get stung, I think maybe we're all a little judgmental sometimes. - Yeah. - Okay, is it truly possible, before getting to your third topic, is it truly possible to not judge somebody? There's always a level of judgment. - There's a difference between judgment and observation though, right? Like I said, judgment is usually like a form of rejection. It's a form of, I'm not trying to help you.

I'm just gonna tell you like, "Hey, Johnny, you're stupid." Like, okay, help me not be stupid, right? It's like, correct me in a way that you can guide me versus like, I don't like you, I have ulterior motives, and you don't match what I like in my standards, because they're subjective and relative to me. So forget you, and I'm gonna say stuff about you, right? It's like, can you not do that? Yes, you cannot do that, but... - It's like throwing medicine at somebody and hoping that they take it. - Exactly, wow, who taught you that, man? It must be a smart guy, just kidding. But on that, can observation become, it can sometimes be negative, right? Like... - Give me an example. - I've just observed that he's a little bit. (laughing) Just an observation, Doug. - Exactly, do you know what I mean? Okay, the observation, I was literally gonna roast him too, so funny, I know, I know, I know, I'm gonna shy him. I was gonna use the best, I was gonna use him as my example. - But you can be like, yeah. The observation can be like, man, this person is really disorganized, and it's like annoying to me. I'm gonna help them, right? It's not like, you know, you're like,

I'm gonna help them, but you're like frustrated. You're like, it's not like... - There's nothing wrong with being frustrated. Frustration does not mean judgment. So when... - But then maybe the person, and maybe I get this, people do say this about me. They're like, oh, it's your tone. I'm like, forget my tone, I'm trying to help you. - Two things though. Take the medicine. (laughs) But here's the thing, right? Like, if you're, if you have the tone, if it's a tonality issue, that's fine. - If I talk like this, would it be better? - No, I wouldn't. Because that's, tonality too is such a, let me just like, kind of go off a little tangent. Tonality is such a liar too. 'Cause if someone's like, you're so stupid. Oh my God, you're so amazingly stupid. Honestly, it's like, amazing. If you do that, it's like, bro, it's still the same thing, right? It doesn't, you should never equate tonality to truth. Because somebody could say something, like, let's say I'm walking and then, you know, Jeremy crosses the street and I'm like, Jeremy, watch out when I yell at him. But there's a car that's gonna clip him.

Would he be like, hey, don't tell me that. (laughs) - You're so mean. - Yeah, right? It's like, come on, it's, tonality is such a, it's BS too in a lot of ways, right? Where you need to be nice to me. It's like, no, the observation then would be like, you're sensitive. - But what if it's, for my case, right? - Yeah. - It's a common thing. - Well, the issue is not your tonality. It's hard to accept what you say. So people sit there and they take your tonality and they judge, they go, they either judge you, I'll be like, dude, he thinks I'm stupid. That's a judgment. It turned inward, though. It's the same type of judgment. Of course, I'm not stupid. Of course, there's things that I could be better at, but it doesn't mean like just because he said something. Oh my gosh, my identity is ruined, and I'm a horrible leader. But there's times where I'll feel like that, right? It just happens. So during that time, what do we have to do the right thing? Have a call. Hey, bro. This is how I feel. Did you mean anything about that? No, no, no, that's not what it is. So that's me shifting from judgment inward to observation. Oh, that made me think a certain type of way. Okay, but then when I asked him and confirmed with him, that wasn't what he actually felt. And if that's the case, I should either take what he says, or I can continue to judge. That's our only two options. So your issue Jeremy is never like, oh, yeah, he's so mean. He's on top. He's, you know, it's like, sure, you can be mean. But if someone sits there and goes, hey, did you mean this when I, and then, you know, they ask you that question, the next thing should be, oh, if he explains it, and it makes sense, I should accept what he says, not what I keep thinking and feeling, right? I double down. I'm like, yeah, you're a stupid. You never do that. That is what I was thinking. Yeah. Yeah,

why you finally could read my mind. Finally, your brain is working. Yeah, you've never done that. You've genuinely sit there and go, yeah, no, that's, I'm just trying to solve a problem. And so that's what it is. I don't want you to, and it's like, oh, so true. Okay, cool. And again, it takes that level of, can I accept what you say above what I think and feel? That's why, again, foundationally, judgment is usually just somebody going, I forgot grace. I also can be like that person. And I need to, you know, kind of listen to what that person is saying and kind of empathize with them. Nobody really has that nowadays, to be honest. And again, we teach that by grace, if you remember your grace, if you remember, dang, I'm only here because God gave me that. There is no way you can judge anyone for real, right? Even like, even with the pastor, that's not a judgment. What I'm saying about, it's an observation. He cares about this. That's the truth. He's this, he's that, right? And it's like, what's going to help him? Well, fighting with him is not going to help him. That's why I didn't fight with him. Instead, I was like, let me just calm him down, which we did. And he was like, all right, he was a little more open to it afterwards, because when you're calm and you're putting your guard down, then you're able to kind of have a little bit of receptive skills. The sad part that I observed is that he's still focusing on, I want my platform. I want to be a big pastor. I put in this work, which rightfully so, that's his own observation. I put in this work for 40 plus years, you put in work for what 10, and you got quadruple, whatever I have. I feel some type of way about that. Now, that's the thing that I think most people should just say. If they said that, it would just weed through everything. Yo, this is how I genuinely feel. I feel like you think I'm stupid or I feel like, you know, you're not qualified to be where you're at. At least you're, they're not being fake about it. And it's like, okay, but like, do you not believe in God that God put me here? Because to be honest, I didn't sit there and go, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to go on Soft Light Underbelly and build millions of, it's like, I didn't even think about that. I was literally, I didn't even want to. Y'all can ask Pastor Kim. I didn't even want to go on the internet. Like, I was genuinely like, let's see what God's going to do, you know? Pastor said it. I'm a follow because we're supposed to follow Hebrews 13 verse 7, Hebrews 13 17. I got to where I was, and that's that point blank period. And so, again, it's just, yeah, it's hard to, you know, see the grace aspect of things. Like, that man also needs grace to hear. He needs grace that when he meets someone like me to also hear from me, I also need to receive

grace from God from that too. But just because he's tripping on me doesn't mean he's completely wrong. He just doesn't have grace. And how many times was I like that pastor to multiple other people, probably way more than him, honestly, or even as just as much as him. So that's what also made me go, I'm not tripping on him. That's why I said it broke my heart. I wasn't like, this guy is so stupid. And he's in it. It was more of like, dang, I really did receive grace to step out of that because like Jeremy asked earlier, some people never get out of that. They die like that. And that's sad. That's hell is sad at the end of the day. It's like, what's so special about me? I'm exactly like him. If anything worse than him. And yet, God was able to lift me out of that. Man, like, I hope he gets out of that. You know, I hope this is coming from lover hate because I can think about the times like, you know, when pastor Kim, obviously, but there's definitely not like think about the time you're in prison. And it was a correction officer and you knew that it was 100% coming from a negative place, right? Yeah. You can just kind of, it's just like a instinct. But what about pastor Kim? Yeah, just answer the first question. so correction from love usually draws you closer to God or closer to right? It's like, hey, I'm just letting you know because I care about you. There's that. But then correction from hate, envy, jealousy, whatever usually pushes you away. It's like, bro, why are you like that? You're hella annoying. Like it's, this heart is different. You're like, you're annoying to me. Get away from me. It's like this type of heart versus like, hey, I noticed that you don't really have receptive skills and I don't want you to sit there and be like only listening to yourself and everyone's going to just feel appalled. I felt appalled by you. I felt repulsed by you and I kind of don't want to be around you. And I thought about it. How many people would feel like that about you? So as you're homie, I'm just letting you know. There's some things that I see. I hope you don't take this as like, you know, whatever, because I don't have to tell you. There's people out there that they don't even correct that a judgment. They just judge and they don't correct. They sit there and go, all right, clock, I'm not going to be with that. I'm not ever going to be around this person. I'm not. This happens in relationships. This happens when communication dies. They're just like, I'm not even going to tell them. I'm going to get into it. This guy's not even going to listen. I'm not going to say nothing to him. People have done that to me too. And it sucks. You know, you're like, damn, why didn't you

just tell me? Because I knew you wouldn't listen. It's like, dang, like for real, we can't even have a conversation. No, you can't. That's how much judgment has passed. And it's like also 50 50, right? It's like, that's how much I also close their hearts and push them away. So, you know, it's it's kind of like, think about correction like a surgeon versus a gang member, right? Both cut one heals one kills. That's it. It's very simple. Is your correction killing this person, hurting this person, or is it healing this person? And that's the only way that you could really tell. Now with pastor Kim, I knew he was trying to help me. He'd have to tell me all that stuff. He could literally sit there and just like pass like whatever. Okay, you're just the dumb criminal. Like go ahead, do whatever you want. He's never done that to me. He'll sit there and go, okay, Johnny, but just so you know, you do this. He said, if you think about only yourself, you're only going to be by yourself. And I'm like, dang. And then I would harden. I don't care. I've been by myself my whole life. I didn't, my dad threw me wet. Yeah. And that's fine. But look at your life now. Are you happy? Genuinely. Are you happy? If you're by yourself and you can be happy, then be by yourself. You're not. It's miserable. You spiral at night, boom, boom. Don't say that about me. It's true though. And you just keep it real with me. And I'm like, dang. Yo, I was like a kid with him because right being locked up from the age of 12 to 25, you're, you're not developed. You're around people who are 60 years old, like, yeah, cuz I knocked this dude out like, damn, bro, you're 60, bro. You still talking about knocking fools out. You ain't issuing your neighborhood. If that's the case, you ain't, you ain't got no little homies or nothing. Sorry, guys. This is the game. Remember me coming out, but it's like, how are you going to do that? And I was just a grown kid. I think I was stunted right when I got out. I was 25, but I was 12 mentally, legit, and probably not even that probably not even that. So I'm sitting here going, I got to learn that you don't tell me that. And it's like, I had to relearn that and I've only been out for 10 years. Technically, I would be my mentality should be 22. Dang. If you think about it like that, you know, so it's difficult. And yet we're running a company where all of it is grace. All of it is grace. And so that's what helps me go, dang, like, I'm very hard on myself because I know, I know how I am. I know, like, dude, I wish I could be like that, man, if I didn't get locked up, man, like, I'm so stupid, like this, these

things come out. Whereas I see other people who are so much more leveled up. And I'm like, dang, if I didn't get locked up and put myself through that, I wouldn't, I would at least be better. And so yes, there's times where I'm like hard on myself, but even then I have to turn that judgment into just observation, just indicator. Okay. Yeah, you messed up. You were dealt this way, but look at how God still led your life. And then that's where the happiness comes out. That's where the peace comes out. It's like, dang, I'm not even supposed to be here. I can't even really have like emotional intelligence and EQ and all that, you know, manage my emotions. And yet we're able to do it and not only do that, but lead other people to do it is kind of crazy. And it just makes me happy when I think about it like that. When do you are like, how do you measure if you should step in and correct someone versus you just let them go through it? For example, the pastor, right? Like, okay, well, you kind of explained why. Yeah, but like just in general, like other people in your community, there are times where you I can see that you really fight for somebody. And there's other times where you're just like, okay, you know, how are you, how are you making that judgment per person? Yeah, yeah. Hard posture. Number one, I listen. If you're going to correct somebody, the number one thing you have to do is listen. You can't correct somebody based off of your assumption of what's going on. You have to be able to listen first, figure it out, and then correct. So go ahead. Would you say 99% of people aren't ready to listen? A hundred percent. Because I even think about when I first met you that I think about how I would approach you with my questions. You were ready to listen to me. I was like, I was done. You know, it's just like, and then also now when I see people around you and they're asking all these questions, I'm like, oh, he's not ready either. just like so different I'm like ah they're they're gonna they're they got to go through it yeah they got to go through it yeah I can see you even on the podcast yeah someone will say something I'm like they're not ready for the answer yeah yeah then I see him cowardly back down sometimes I'm like cock him that's how so many people in court are yeah they're like why do you say something Johnny why did you say the answer that you said this time you did it last time with me

but you didn't tell them it's like bro they're not ready I can say it's if I can here's the here's the unlock right if I can correct you it means we have that you're at that level to be corrected that's that's such a beautiful thing I know pastor Kim till this day and I'm not trying to say this to LA church past church people but pastor has not shifted out of the hello how are you welcome yeah to some of y'all why and you think oh he's so nice to me why was he so mean to Johnny it's because he could talk to me like that right like like like you have homies who are like homies and you have acquaintances you're not gonna handle them the same and I'm not saying this for you guys oh am I not getting closer to to pastor is that wouldn't I'm not saying that I'm saying you have to just observe and go huh like maybe it's two things maybe I'm not I don't have to be corrected and sometimes that's that's the case to where you're so submitted you know like good for you it's amazing but there's times we're also pastors waiting on God to work in your life and he with me was just more like as crazy as it is I think he's ready like he was just like I think he's ready and I'm gonna just do it and I know there's times where he was like frustrated with me and would just correct me out of frustration but even that I believe God ordained that and allowed that to happen because I would see that I would keep that oh dang pastors correct me with a frustrated heart but he's not frustrated at me he's doing this so that I can heal he's frustrated because he knows so he saw what I would become and then was like dude this guy's like lagging it like that's what that it was that type of energy not like he's sick and tired of me wants me to leave because if he did he'd just throw me out right so again was very grace to be able to see like dang pastors not the op he genuinely cares about me and and so two things you have to be able to really listen and see number two do these people look at you like top do they look at you and flip right away and go you're the enemy and you telling me the truth is you're my enemy now which is what Paul says right in his books so at the end of the day it's not about do I correct somebody at this right time or that right time you could do it by faith and correct them

anytime all the time if you want to the issue is are you first listening to them number one really hearing them out number two are you doing it off of emotion are you just frustrated at them because they're not doing what you want if that's the case probably don't correct them and probably tell the truth and go hey you doing all of this I don't want to react out of pure emotion but it does make me feel this way and I don't know if I'm supposed to tell you or not what should what can we do to work this out where is the middle ground that's much better than going I'm gonna let them know my two cents because I'm sick of this like that's much different when you do that people aren't stupid they feel that too they go all this person sick of me and then even though you're right but they sense that this person is sick of you which is judgment they're not gonna listen they're gonna claw and fight and bite and kick you because they don't want to feel like invalidated they don't want to feel as if they're burdening somebody no one wants to feel like that and that's why people just recluse and close up a lot of you guys are like that when it comes to like biblical correction and let's say you don't know the word well should you not be let's go both ways yeah when it comes to biblical correction and let's say you're trying to help a beginner Christian but you don't know the word well yeah should you just not even try yeah probably don't correct if you don't know the word what are you gonna correct off of my personal experience I'm eating the blind right essentially right and and of course you can suggest I think there's nothing wrong with hey correct me if I'm wrong you should also be open to correction but I kind of see you going down this path I went down this path and it kind of led me here and that's why testimony is important fellowship is important am I wrong like are you kind of going through that are you feeling because when I went down that path I felt empty are you feeling empty no I'm not feeling okay my bad then scratch that like that's okay versus like oh I know cuz you know I felt that I see it in you it's like no that's not okay right it's it's again most people can't listen and they don't ask for confirmation they just assume

That's the one thing in Christianity that you have to change is to go, hmm, I could be wrong because I don't know what they're going through, right, it's surface level, they are exuding certain postures that I think are right, but even I am not sure so then who do you go to, you have to go to God. Prior to correcting anybody, you have to pray people don't know before the main stage is I always pray it's a very quick prayer, but I do father God please allow them to truly accept your heart not what I'm saying, but what you're saying through me if I do anything wrong Lord please correct me in real time and also if I'm doing if I'm straying from you just remove me like genuinely remove me as crazy as that sounds people don't even pray for that I don't think any pastors are like remove me from the pulpit if I'm not teaching correctly. That's a prayer I pray at least like three to four times a week and people don't know that right because it's just true and when I do tell them they're like what you pray for like there's times where I'm like Lord if this app thing isn't working and I haven't even shared this with Jeremy and Aaron just just kill it now. But it's working I know but I'm just saying you know like if we've even tried to pray for that I know but I'm we didn't even give it a chance it's been out for his will buddy I'm saying according to his will okay don't get mad. Why would you say God make this thing work because that's his will do you understand God was a loop he's literally trying to find loopholes God will it helps people look at the Bible talks about Jeremy's timing yeah that's Jeremiah 1911 I pray for Jeremy's timing. Yeah but align me with it but I think more people have to also pray that way where it's like hey God I'm gonna pray for alignment I don't know do you want me to have this you want me to have that man I see it in the discord so much in our community so much people just pray like hey how do I get God essentially to do what I want like damn bro and and someone asked me this this morning when I was on main stage they were like do you ever get tired do you ever get tired. I get overwhelmed and I'm like the thing that overwhelms me the most is that people don't sense how much they accessorize God I think that's really it super overwhelms me at times but then I have to take my own advice too and go hey you receive grace though don't forget that at the same time you also accessorize God too and many times you probably do it subconsciously or inadvertently you don't even know if you're doing that so what's the problem you're the name in front of them again this these are things that I have to also filter by myself like dang you're like that too you're just like that too you're just like that and so it helps me and that's what keeps us going and I think that's what's going to keep us going forever is man if I had the hard to go this is my community and I carry them oh my gosh I would have quit like a year ago for sure it would have been like too much cuz then I would have been like what I said the Lord's prayer I meant a good thing out of it what happened everyone hates me like I would get mad. Really what I learned is like no I need grace for everything too you know and that's what well that is the shortcut like that is the the unlock that is the I don't know it's like that's the substance if you know I need grace you cannot judge other people and you can correct with grace if you start with the heart of I need to correct somebody because I'm right then you're going to transfer that heart of self righteousness into people but if you have the heart of oh I need I have grace I need to transfer that heart of self righteousness into people but if you have the heart of oh I need I have grace. I need grace and they need grace too let me correct them and see if they can receive the grace and if they do then you're leading with grace and that's beautiful way better than self righteousness amen hallelujah that's how I deal with you Jeremy what just how Johnny was saying like I used to be a stupid idiot too I'm a stupid idiot too okay give him some grace every day you like that yeah like you'll say something to me and I'm like I used to be that stupid I used to be that much impact on you and that I'm really running your day oh my gosh you'll ask me something like please please without Jesus on the chin yeah why don't I let me ask the question hey glee that farted leave that farted no no leave that please leave it in please you guys can see how mean he is to me all I know that would be Jeremy that would be funny please hey I don't care I'm I'm I'm the laughing stock clown just listen listen yeah yeah listen you're not mean you're scary am I really that be real scared am I scary sometimes when you're mad yeah Aaron you can I'm like, I'm scared of maybe a real I'm scared of maybe a reaction I don't think you would ever put his hands on us. Yeah, of course Just course I would I think that's just like another way No, but you guys only see me What about that what I was a mom. Oh that one that was like that was like 50% 50. Yeah, that was like 40% We were coming back from dr. Wakeley's and this guy was like just hail the rude just a dark rude guy And he wasn't being rude to he was being rude to everyone around him and to like me But I wasn't oh and then you did you drop this case out of her. No you he said you did you dropped it on him Yeah, but so she was someone off. No, no, no, no, no. He was he was just the whole flight He was like like we weren't even sitting near where I was he's like I'm sitting here He's like back over there like one person and like delays and he's like, oh what you know He's like one of those guys like oh this person sitting there just a grumpy grouchy guy Yeah And I'm not we're not talking to him Yeah, and then at one point when I'm unloading the back it like I put it down and it rolls and hits his foot

It doesn't drop like cuz he's behind. Yeah, there's no way I could have dropped I like set it down and it rolls and it touches his croc. It's wearing crocs by the way I'll never forget that yeah, it's like you dropped it on my foot and I was like, oh, I immediately I apologize I'm like and he's like you need to watch out He's just like giving it to me and then I just see John like Johnny's look on his face and his mom Gets scared and then I knew I was like, I was like, hey You just get off the plate get off the plate. Oh because prior to that what happened was I was just like like with my foot I was like jittering like, you know, oh, yeah. Yeah, that's what started. I did this and then he's like yo Could you stop doing that and he said it like that. Yeah, I remember like wait doing what I was shot I was like wait. What do you mean? He's like that stop doing that and he said it like that to me Yeah, and I was like, yo, bro You got a chill man, and then he just like rolled his eyes like And I was like, yeah, I could stop but you got a chill with that like you'll take it down a notch buddy, you know, and Again very respectful, whatever, but again, I see him sighing and oh Like oh like the lady was like leaning back a little like, you know You you recline your seat and he just looked at it and he was like piss And I was like, hey, this guy is mad bro for no reason and then I'm like, all right. It's cool Whatever like who cares? we get up and then he wrote like Jeremy puts down the suitcase he's trying to help my mom the suitcase rolls Taps him in his crock and I thought he said Look like he cussed at Jeremy. That's what I thought so I turned on I was like what and then he Get off the blanket off. I was like what and then I was I was I was never nice face It was like it wasn't like a what I've never seen him make that face And that's what I was like, oh no, no, I was like this what yeah, and then so I'm like pushing and Johnny trying to look back And his mom is also like she knows and when she's like I was like, okay. This is I mean a face true Yeah, you're like what and then I was just like I started pushing him Johnny's like starting to stay stuff like under like under his breath And I'm like, you'll get him off this plane. Wow. I was You know it's funny. I look back and the guy's holding his luggage and holding up the whole plane because he doesn't want to fall

And like Johnny's like waiting for him. I was like, no, I'm a grab. You're like, yo, we are out He's like fine, and we like walk up and I was just kind of an asshole. Nobody had come out I was like you scared this I Was just trying to ask him a question. I heard like you effing something and I was like what man come on Bro, like that was crazy. I know you didn't drop it on that I didn't drop it down and then you you help my mom Bro, yeah, an elderly lady, you know, and this was tripping. I was like what and then yeah, and yeah I probably did make a mean face. Hey, hey, but nobody came out the tunnel for that time He probably was just like waiting like yeah, yeah, I'm probably at the tunnel. Okay, then he probably walked away Stalling yeah, you can go. I'm gonna take it. Yeah, it's like I'm in the clear. Yeah, he totally changes to in his face was For me, it's like you could say stuff to me, but I've noticed I get frustrated when people try to like Like punk people around me. That's that's the thing. Yeah, I was like, God, please don't oh Yeah, I've seen that way I want whenever people get mad at like us Yeah, our camera guys or something you instantly like turn. Yeah, it's it's hard That's still difficult. You could say stuff about me whatever, you know, but bro You're like saying stuff about the homies like they're they're not even doing anything wrong like oh my gosh What if Johnny's like you're saying a bunch of two losers too short Like he was like some guy tried to punk Bayland and if you know Bayland 22 year old skinny lanky chill dude like couldn't hurt a fly some guy was like kind of It's like you can talk to me, but you're gonna try to punk bailing. It's like now. We got a problem. That's crazy, bro That's bully look bully mentality is crazy where I come from we bully the bullies like that's just how it is like I've even though we were gang members. We were never taught like a do do this in bully other people. It's like bro That's that's weak like to bully somebody who straight up note, you know a nobody like come on now That's crazy. You're not a gangster for that. You know, you don't bully women. You don't bully kids You don't like that's just a street code. We don't bully old people. You don't bully squares You don't bully like we'll be like but like he's like we're civilians Civilians residents are just regular people. I should have been like what's up That's crazy. Okay. So anyways, as you interrupted my last question Most people don't like being hated on and they run from rejection

But why do you say it's good for them because rejection is an exposure So it exposes through the rejection if you're leaning on validation or approval Do you know do you understand what I'm saying? for priests so if if I'm sitting here and a woman rejects me and my heart is I want to idolize that woman above God, right? That rejection would be good for me because now I can lean on God instead of wanting to replace God with that person And that's why God removes people out of life at you know people out of your life to expose and reveal Hey, you're depending on something more than me and you're supposed to depend on me and this is for even atheist people who don't believe because God wants a relationship with everybody, right, so if you if you Only want a relationship like outside of God Reject, you're gonna you're going to really want to people please you're going to want to Like do everything for everyone's rejection. You will have no spine basically. It's more of just like, okay What do you want you want? Okay? Well, I'll also do this in the we know people like that We are people like that. I was a person like that, too Like you only want validation or your life will be dependent on other people's hundred percent if you need people's validation and approval You will always compromise. That's what it is at the end. Hey close attention to I know that is my big that is a problem Well, sorry for trying to correct and help my friend. It's not like I don't absorb everything from these episodes. It instantly applied to my life So so rejection is really good in that and why I say it's good It's actually true really really good because it will always force you to choose approval or truth That's that's the thing. Okay. Am I gonna choose to be approved by people and go with the flow with them? Or am I gonna go nomina draw boundary and I won't compromise on truth like I'll accept truth And so I think what I've learned going from and I again shout out to my pastors for this But I went from like okay. I don't have to it doesn't matter like people don't like me anyways Oh, well, I'm just gonna push forward But it is difficult more when it's with family members and it's with people who you do want approval with Because they genuinely are your family. You care about them. You love them, you know, but that's why even God says You know in Psalm 27 verse 10 when my father and my mother forsake me then the Lord will take me up You know, what's crazy is this word? He goes when he doesn't say if like we are nine times out of ten

Our families cause us more more hurt than anyone else and rejection usually comes from family That's where there's family drama in every family, right? And so there's just parts where you're like dang It's not if but when is kind of crazy reading that scripture. It makes me go. Okay There's a time where even your own family members will reject you not in a negative way Just biblically speaking then that rejection allows you to then realign with God and realign with truth Versus looking for other people's approval. It's not wrong to want to look for other people's approval though, right? I'm not saying that that's an issue of course. We want approval of course. We want validation It's when validation and approval becomes your god. You're so much so that you're compromising God's truth, too And you're going, uh, I'll just go out with the homies like, you know I know God says not to but whatever like I want them to still think that I'm cool Then it's like that's that becomes a problem because now you're again compromising the truth. You shouldn't really do that shouldn't really do that What's the last rejection that you could remember that exposed some part of you? Mmm that you're like oh that did sting or I did care about that a lot That's a tough one about you remember I don't think it actually super hurt your feelings or anything, but one that was super annoying was like when. And I don't know, we don't have to include this or not, but when churches will be down for after service and then back out for whatever reason. And it's just like, it's just super annoying. For all the wrong reasons too. - Yeah, thanks. - And that's just like a rejection that we go through at this company constantly where it's just like, and we have to accept it and move on and accept the truth and that these people are just who they are or whatever, but that's an annoying one for sure. - Yeah, great. For me, it's more of just like, I kind of know.

Like it's like, it's just, when you've been in the Christian community long enough, there's a bunch of people who are just haters, man. Even when they're like, I love you. I care about you, brother. Like deep down, there's always that competition aspect. Like, let me see real quick. Okay, you got four million more, that was cool. Like, ah, that wasn't really right, but like, pro, there's always that type of, it's so weird, bro. It's so weird. - Seniors, judging other centers. - 100% differently. - 100%. And it's not, it's just like, why is this a competition? When I look at other congregations and I see how deep they are, I'm happy. I'm not like, "Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm." I'm not like that. Like, I literally sit there and I'll be like, "Dang, that's dope." Look at the revival. Look at how many people are coming to God. Why would you sit there and like, you hate, you don't congratulate, it's like, "Dang, why not sit there and be like, yo, this, in this era, we're witnessing something so amazing." - Because your doctrine is not right, you heretic. - Yeah, but it's like, what they're really saying is,

you're pulling away from my congregation. Like, Paul was pulling away from those people who fasted for 40 people that fasted and said, "We will not stop fasting and praying until Paul dies." Like, they're just mad that we're pulling away, real people and turning them to real truth, which is the gospel, and that's just the sad part. - That's your truth, you heretic. I've read the Bible for 50 years. - That's great, read the Bible for 50 years. - 37,000 times. - That's great, that's great. - And you still say that a sinner is crazy. So for me, it's just, I don't know, I see other congregations and I'm like, "Dang, that's dope." I never look at someone and go, "Pfft, I could do better." Like, there's never that heart. It's like, "Dang, that's hard, like, that's cool." And I hope that they can be led correctly because at the end of the day, these are real people with real lives and real problems and real relationships that they want to have with God. I rarely see that, man, I see more people. They walk up on stage like they're Kanye and they walk off like they're Drake. You know, like, I hit that, hell yeah. It's like, dang, fool, relax, dude. It's not even your Bible. It's not even your, nothing is yours.

Your body's not yours, your life is not yours, your spirit is not yours. Nothing is yours. How are you gonna tell me you go up there and be like, "Yeah, I'm amazing." Yeah, it's like, you're not though. At the end of the day, we're dirt and we're just vessels. So when I see another vessel being used, me being a vessel who's truly dirt and humble is gonna go, "Yo, that's so dope. "We should work with them. "We should advance the kingdom together." Man, there's so many people that, behind the scenes, low teachers hating on us and still be like, "We love you. "We care about you, but deep down, they do hate on us." And they think we're stupid. We have to play the game because we want them to come to the gospel too. You know, at the end of the day, I really want people to come to the gospel. That's the only reason why, you know, but there are times where I have to draw the line too and be like, "Yo, respectfully, y'all don't care "about the gospel, y'all don't even sense it." Like you have to, I still don't believe people don't sense it though. I believe if you're standing in front of God and you have an ounce of fear, a 1% fear of God, you would not sit there and be like,

"Yeah, I could do whatever I want." Like no one can see what I'm doing because you're taught from a young age that God sees everything. Like that's why I try not to like run game on people. Of course we could run game. Of course we could manipulate, but why don't we do it? Because I know God's right there. I can't run game on God's. I can't manipulate God. He's literally watching me every single day, every single moment, how am I gonna play him? I could play everybody else except for him. That's crazy, but people are that bold to go. I don't care about him. As long as I get these people to give me what's in their pockets, to give me their hearts, to exalt me, that's good for me. Man, shame on you. Straight up, like shame on y'all if you do that, respectfully. - Yeah, the competitive mindset is very self-exalting. Like you've always had to collaborate. There's two very distinct groups of people, the collaborative mindset and the competitive mindset. And when you're being collaborative, it's all to further the kingdom. You're collabing with God's will, not your own, but the competitive mindset is like,

I need it to be done, how I want it to be done, and why is he doing it like that? And like you said with those churches, just sinners judging other sinners for sitting differently. of the two, the two niche enthusiasts arguing. It'll be like, you have two fishermen. And one is like, oh, I love deep sea fishing. It's way better that I was like, no, fly fishing in the river. It's cooler when you're in the water. The guy's like, no, but we catch sea water. It's like to everyone else. You guys just look like two fishermen. No one else can tell the intricacies of what you're even arguing about. We just see two fishermen. - Me and Johnny arguing about which Korean barbecue spot is better yet. (laughing) I just see two Chinese people. - Yeah, and Chinese. - You're like, wait, but I'm, shut up. - No, but yeah. - Did you see that "King of the Hill" episode where he's like, so are you Chinese or are you Japanese? He's like, I'm Laotian. He's like, so are you Chinese or are you Chinese? (laughing) - Which kind of Mexican are you? But yeah, no, it just, yeah.

That's the end of that episode. - Yep, that's the end of that episode, guys. - No, I have a little segment. Okay, so everybody, it's a couple episodes ago. Everybody submitted their favorite Bible verse. - Right. - And I ranked them. So let me pull up this sheet. - Well, that actually reminds me of something when you're done with this. We said that we would pick one of these to win a free membership. - Oh, did we? - Yeah, so let's pick one. - Oh, okay, great. - Well, when you're done. - Well, he doesn't have the-- - Well, I don't have the, you'd have to go through the actual comments of the videos. So here's the cool statistics. 772 total comments on the video. - Wow. - 543 comments included at least one Bible verse reference. - Wow. - Which is 59% of the whole comment section. And 484 total verse references across 227 unique verses. - Wow, geez. - Drawn from 47 different books of the Bible. - Woo! - And then 148 comments explicitly mentioned a favorite verse. And 141 comments mentioned a favorite color

'cause remember I said color first. And then Johnny ruined it and was like, Andrew Bible verse always has to piggyback on my amazing ideas. - Way less interesting than a favorite color. - Okay, okay, so coming in at number - Wait, hold on, I'm sorry. - Okay, well. - Is this for the most frequent? Number one most frequently answered? - Yeah, like the most one. - So this is like the top eight, basically. But there was some ties. So number eight, there was a, it's top 15, but there was ties of certain verses. So. - Number one, John 3 16. - No, dude, are you kidding me? - What are 10, 14? - Hebrews 10, 14. - Hebrews 10, 14. - Is that the real guy? - Hebrews 10, 14. - Oh! (laughing) - That is cool. - Okay, I can't guess. You should be guessing. I'm saying I was confirming. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wow. - Hebrews 10, 14. - Yeah, but guess how many times it was mentioned? So remember, 453 people, 30. - No, I would say like a hundred, it's at least 20%. - I was trying to give him my best poker face. It was like this. - A hundred something. - What was your number? - 30. - Aaron 2.0. - Aaron says 92. Aaron 2.0 is the closest. It was 70 mentions. - Whoa. - Hebrews 10, 14. - Wow. - Okay, what do you guys think number two was? Come on, think hard. This is your community, John word. - Second Corinthians 5, 17. Is that on there? - It's on the board, but it's not number two. Come on, think hard. - Hebrews 10, 10. - No, think hard. - Romans 3, 23, 24. - No, think hard. - First Corinthians 6, 11.

- No, come on, this is like a Johnny Classic. - Jeremiah 17 verse nine. - Jeremiah. - Oh, Jeremiah 29, 11. - Yes. - Oh, right, right, right. - Come on, I know that I thought that I have a view. - Yeah. - That's a good, not able to give you expect the end, honey. - Yup, that was 27. Okay, this was tied for number three. - John 3, 16. - Yeah. (laughing) - Nice. - What is John 3, 16 again? - That's the, you don't know that one. Wait, no, you don't, okay, I'll give it to you. For God so loved, for God so loved the world, that he be God his own. This guy doesn't love Jesus. - Wow, I know. - This is the one that holds up a baseball game. - I know, that one's like, I don't know, it's too cliche, you know, I heard it so many times. (laughing) - John would read it anymore. - The John 1, 3, 16. - Yeah, John 1, 3, 16. - Right, right, right, right.

Some of these are the typical Bible verses there. - Typical. - Yeah, typical John 3, 16. Be more original. It's funny you popularize Hebrews 10 14. I know man everyone cop by May. Why you don't like that because it's a it's a bang

It is a banger. I was a straight banker. Look. I'm gonna get Jeremiah 29 11 is also also a banger But look guys, this is the truth Okay, when I when people say verses I I said this before I'm like how does no one think Hebrews 1014 is all banger Yeah, Hebrew is in 14 bang so hard. It's like oh my gosh. Yeah, I think it's better than John 3 16 to be honest I mean, they're all that's subjective better Hebrews 10 14. Okay. I think you can just go so much deeper. That's why I think it's just so much deeper If you can guess a Jeremiah five Up, sorry I said this is number five Jeremiah five no no The Dwight already said it's Jeremiah number five is my 17. Yeah, 17 or 9 which is The heart is the sea full above all things. That's really wicked who can know it. Yeah, mm-hmm And then wrong the next one is Romans 8 28. Mmm. Which one is that dude?

Oh, yeah, I am the way the life the truth. Yeah, and then also this one I think is the one all the girls get tattooed on them. It's tied with Philippians 4 13 What's that one again? Philippians 4 13. I can do all things through God who's strength. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah every girl How do you know which one all the girls have tattooed cuz they all posted on there?

You'll see you'll see look at me You heard Johnny at the beginning of the episode. There's nothing he would correct me on Okay, see ya Alright guys, I'll pray us out. Let us bow our head Father God, thank you so much for allowing us to really learn about the gospel of Lord and more importantly Lord To be able to tell the difference between correction from love and also judgment and observation There's so many people God that judge and they don't realize that there's only one judge Which is you they also don't know how to judge righteousness and judge righteousness Lee Which is out of love father God and out of grace many of us forget our grace Lord We forget that you walk with us you carry us you give us the knowledge and the wisdom you allow us to breathe You allow us to live you allows allow us to love people you allow us to correct people and many times we forget those things Lord I ask that you allow the congregation and any of the listeners to remember their grace when we depart from grace We essentially depart from you Lord. We start to become our own judges. We become our own idols We become our own gods and Lord. I wish that upon nobody because you're not in competition with anyone because no one can hold the candle to you Rather God you're there and you're working together with everybody to be able to restore everybody with your love and your grace Please allow us to remember that Lord if there's anybody that's getting persecuted Also, please allow them to remember that they need to receive grace from the people who are persecuting them that everyone needs to operate positionally from grace with that being said Amen.
