Unlearned Wisdom by Johnny Chang

God protects the vulnerable and asks us to trust Him even when we do not understand, reminding us that coming back to Him matters more than never struggling. This message challenges works based thinking, pride in our own understanding, and the fear that our failures ruin our relationship with Him. Ultimately, it points to God’s heart, who desires all to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. MY APP IS LAUNCHING IN MARCH 2026!

I’m exploring why we feel so exhausted trying to "fix" our parents, only to realize our own pride and ungodly expectations are actually what’s pushing them away. We’re getting real about being "holy dirt" and why we have to stop breaking people's arms for God, because true peace comes from trusting His work on the cross rather than our own religious performance.
