--------
In this clip, Johnny Chang about being in youth authority and sticking to his “car,” or among his fellow gang members, and Johnny went on to speak about getting used to being in there. From there, Johnny spoke about how disfunction in his family dynamic led to him joining a gang and how his mindset allowed him to justify the things he was doing. Johnny then shared how his life differed from a guy he grew up with, who wouldn’t touch drugs or join a gang, and Johnny explained that he thought he was stronger.
Cavario spoke to Johnny Chang about how his dysfunctional family dynamic led him to join a gang at just 12, and Johnny went on to speak about changing his life, including doing prison ministry. Johnny explained that if he knew the things he knows now, it would’ve stopped a lot of what he did in his past. He added that he’s spoke to people around the world, and he sees a lot of people who are lost and sad, and Johnny went on to speak about how he converted to Christianity. He then explained how his mother was introduced to Christianity, and Johnny went on to explain his discussion with a pastor that changed his mind.
Johnny Chang spoke about the gangster life and structure being like a religion to him, which led to a discussion about the power of belief. When asked about being a prison minister, Johnny explained that he teaches people about mindset and the heart, and he added that he’s not preaching to people. He added that the teaching is centered around the emptiness that people feel, and Johnny explained that it teaches resilience to overcome everyday things.

Not a religious person but you can't deny the positive lifestyle changes one goes through when they devote their life to a higher power.

[@100PROOF-G]

Thanks for not down-talking a Christian person. We get dragged simply for Who we believe in and all we want is a free mind. Salute!

[@mdot49mw]

@@100PROOF-G no seriously, thats all i see. Down talking and belittling because of PERSONAL life beliefs

[@luisvilla799]

Man it’s never worked for me all empty promises that don’t ever put your success in another man’s hands that being said I really don’t do religion for the same reason but respect people who do

[@MCxSTORMx]

I think all religious people are insane but it would definitely be better than being a gangbanger out here causing pain and suffering on innocent people and looking goofy as hell doing all them weird ass hand gestures and constantly going in and out of jail and getting locked up with no coochie for months/years at a time…locked up with all kinds of homos and chomos…meanwhile Christians out here getting hella pussy and hella money living in nice houses and driving nice cars. 😂

[@irrelevant0]

facts by experience - i cant subscribe to much of the charade after 20+ years of study and time with theologians - but the heart behind the positive push does hold weight for sure - 🌱

[@dariusbrown833]

Salute to him.. we need more representations of (true, biblical) Christianity in our culture 💯 🕊️✝️🕊️

Johnny is wow, incredibly well spoken. The way he carries himself and speaks is almost impossible to go unnoticed. Johnny I hope you continue in this direction and continue your ministry because you have a gift. A gift to speak, a gift to relate, and a gift to l make people LISTEN. Such a great testimony man. 👏 🙏

[@thelastcrusaders6317]

i prayed for years for my 2 my homies to be saved........one night my buddy was at a shop with his daughter, and something made him turn around, he had a 38 pointed in his face, the gun jammed but then started bussin and none of the shots hit, then the gunman shoved the gun into my homes stomach and then it jammed again....my buddy survived , when the police saw the crime scene they taught my buddy was doing voodoo....long story short...its been 6 years and my buddy preaches the gospel.

[@AtibaVV]

Johnny Chang fr became a internet legend in 6 months by using his voice to help the lost souls. Bro's redemption is amazing

[@Stephanie-et4qm]

I'm happy for his fresh start 💯keep going young man. God bless you!🙏

[@1Deep43VA]

It’s unfortunate because this interview really doesn’t showcase how powerful Johnny’s testimony is. I’d suggest watching the Soft White Underbelly interview. This is long format, but it’s chopped into clips. Plus the interviewer talks just as much, if not more, than Johnny. I highly recommend watching the SWU one.

[@InternetScammer]

this was a GREAT interview 👏🏼📈 the interviewer could’ve been better tho 😂

[@zackriederer4243]

Beautifully articulated by Johnny

[@BK-lb8uh]

The best VLAD TV content. He got me hooked by his transformation.

[@bdailey8065]

God bless you Johnny. Incredible testimony you have, keep doing God's work!!

[@rootsrawka801]

Awesome testimony bro! Bless up!

[@openplz3000]

52 years old, 40 years of Alcohol use run on self will and PRIDE. Somehow a successful medical professional despite myself. God knocked me on my ass and through that "blessing" I now live the best life i have ever had, and i have had it all since becoming a Dr at 25, but u was filling God holes with sex, alcohol, material items and other vices,,,,Once u asked God for help and gave those vices up, my life is fulfilled and happier than ever. Yes there is aloy of power in a rock as a higher power only in that it humbles you, but hood luck when the shit hits the fan, you can only throw that rock, give me God any day. Excellent work young man, I wish I was wise enough to have figured out what you did at your young age. It took me losing my ability to see my 6 and 9 yo kids everyday. My beautiful wife worth 5 Mil walked on me also with a shit ton of my $. But to find God and the life i am BLESSED with today, it's alright!

[@thangandamy]

Amazing thought process! Thanks Johnny for sharing.

[@Dundealmusic]

Respect and poise in this young man.

I seen the black and white interview with him on another youtubers channel. It was a real interview. Guy has a great story. You literally only hear the interviewer speak maybe 5 times in 34min on the other video. The channel is called Soft White underbelly. Had to got find it. He has way better interviews.

[@mato_fato_ma-ah-fala-falafel]

How does one Asian person in an interview compromised of 95% black people spread more positivity in one seating than the culture has ever done. Low key I think Hip Hop is re-education music. Re-educating black people to perpetuate negative bs within the community. I’m glad johnnys asian that’s why our community is fortified.

[@jack604]

Shhhh the left and the music industry doesn't want you to notice

[@theprotagonist8755]

[@theimpeccable1069]

[@BGee720]

There so many gang members watching this realizing he right. Not know that empty feeling was a "thing". But we to deep in it now

[@rootofevil777]

Faith, size of a mustard seed, to move mountains. Faith, not by sight. He stands at the door and knocks. Open the door, he will move your mountain. It’s not a lottery, it’s a life my friend. Trust in the LORD with all of your heart and he will make your path straight. You do not have to walk alone. He carries you. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall not fear . . . It’s hard to believe in what we don’t know but you cannot know something without allowing/or investigating it. Crawl-> walk Training wheels-> Harley Nothing is easy/normal at first. Just like living in a box, our mind and heart can be one too. Ask Him to open your mind and heart. You have not received because you do not ask! Peace my Brotha.

That’s amazing he converted! Very smart man ! Jesus Christ is definitely the way !

[@booneysorandom3096]

Amen 🙏🏾

[@brittanysapology9528]

You cannot tell me Jesus Christ is not real. This dude was a COMPLETE thug and had no apparent reason to say anything about the name of Jesus. That's why its written in Isaiah 65:1 "I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me". When you get a testimony of this nature, how do you STILL not believe in the power of Christ? How is this possible?

[@FEELTHETRILL]

Christ is King! Stoked for this.

[@theman7088]

Praise God man...Don't be the Devil pawn by "living your best life, imma do what i feel like, I grew up struggling so thats all i know!" U gotta want to change, seek Christ and He will change your life. I promise.

Romans 10:17 Faith comes through heating and hearing the wordbof Christ

[@GrandMasterWizard]

You took away, that belief is a very powerful thing. In reality, God actually exists, and there is a son of God, as strange as that sounds. I myself, struggle with that reality sometimes. But that's just the way it is. This man appears to have come to the same realization as I had several years ago. Brilliant interview sir, both of you are epic 💛 and as far as heaven and everlasting life . . . Yes its real. I know. For years I've said "No Way" and couldn't belive it myself . . . But things kept manifesting in my life . . . And it has become more and more difficult over time to deny that the son of God, is our reality on earth. Could have sworn I heard the interviewer say "I'm searching for God" . . .

[@juliusrandle2733]

The son of God is our spirit not an actual person it's all allegorical

[@GrandMasterWizard]

@juliusrandle2733 that hasn't been my experience. And I don't believe I'm the only one reflected by the sheer amount of churches . . . But to you, Jesus is an allegory, I get it. I wish I knew you in real life . . . I'd buy you a beer and convince you 😉 the selection of videos on your channel makes me think you're a brilliant man.

[@quinsy42]

@@juliusrandle2733 Jesus Christ is the son of God. The reason for Easter - Him being raised back to life after his crucifixion (Good Friday). The Holy Spirit is our Counselor. God, who lives among us believers. So we can have conviction on sin, so we can discern things that’s of God vs. of this world/evil.

“I’m not going to say what the point is, I’m going to *ask* you.” Yeah, it’s called interviewing. Learn how to do it.

[@rayrobles6192]

Can we here the guest speak more?

[@rook9309]

Yhoshua Ha Mashiac is the holder of all the keys, he passed some to his Apostles, revealed the plans to them and they kicked the knowledge to us via the Holy Spirt so we can enter in his agreement and His body where all the understanding, knowledge and spiritual blessings is accessible and where we now belong to him exclusively. Everyone is called but not everyone has permission.
