June 08, 2026 Why Praying Harder Doesn’t Work (Here’s Proof) | #066 | Unlearned Wisdom
📲 Make God a daily habit in your life:
https://onelink.to/cothdailyapp
A few years ago I lost one of my closest friends and I blamed God for it. I had prayed for him more than almost anyone in my life, I watched him get so close to changing, and then he was gone.
Through that pain I had to learn that God always answers prayer, the answer is just sometimes yes, sometimes no, and sometimes wait.
In this episode I talk about how to know when God is actually speaking to you, what to do when he says no, and how to stop mistaking your own voice for his.

June 05, 2026 Use The Bible To Overcome Your Fear Of Public Speaking
In this episode I break down why the things that look the most selfless on the outside are usually the most self serving underneath, why wanting to save your friends, quote scripture to people, or show up for everyone around you might have nothing to do with them and everything to do with you.

Pastor Johnny just came back from preaching in Oakland, a church that almost didn't let them through the door. Churches with preconceived notions and instead of defending who he is, he just preached Jesus and let the room decide.

May 29, 2026 How Do You Actually Trust In God (Pastor Explains)
I dive into the profound concept of surrendering control to God, emphasizing that true strength and spiritual growth emerge from acknowledging one's own weaknesses and distrusting self-reliant thoughts and feelings. We highlight the dangers of self-righteousness and the deceptive nature of the human heart, urging listeners to align their heart posture with God's will rather than their own understanding or desires.

Most people think pride looks like someone who talks too loud, takes up too much space, and never stops telling you how great they are, but the version of pride that's actually running your life doesn't look like that at all. Pastor Johnny spent years on both sides of the cross chasing the same thing and he shares what Pride looks like on both ends.

May 22, 2026 Your Goodness Isn’t Enough To Save You (Pastor Explains)
I talk about pride, judgment, intelligence, and the danger of thinking you fully understand God. I also share why many Christians become harsh, critical, and self-righteous, not because they know God deeply, but because pride can disguise itself as spiritual maturity. Knowing how to acknowledge these problems will draw you closer in your walk with God.

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