[@lamma746]

I’m so glad Johnny is here to talk about depression and mental health in a nonjudgmental manner. He’s literally one of my favorite guests. Like no matter what religion/practice you follow he’s amazing.

[@CesiPoooo]

literally when i heard Viet say "i'm christian" tears just came out cause seeing you guys from the start it's just a so beautiful to see God working in you guys. The journey will not be easy but it will be soo worth it with God.

[@kavika5375]

I’m not sure how I ended up here. But it’s so nice to see people my age talking so openly and confidently about god and going to church.

[@abdul8396]

Johnny really is viets dad

[@Max25670]

he's so proud whenever Viet starts quoting scripture. :)

I am so impress on Viet growth with God. You can see the difference between the first ep with Johnny to this ep with Johnny

[@sonexcarat99]

I recently stumbled upon these guys through the episode with Johnny Chang from over a year ago and was really hoping for another reunion. I can't believe my little wish came true-this video totally made my day!

[@vd1657]

Hi Catholic here, had to pause the video to correct Johnny about this part 16:24 This is what our catechism says about suicide & what we actually believe • “grave psychological disturbances, anguish, or grave fear of hardship, suffering, or torture can diminish the responsibility of the one committing suicide” (§2282) • “We should not despair of the eternal salvation of persons who have taken their own lives. By ways known to him alone, God can provide the opportunity for salutary repentance. The Church prays for persons who have taken their own lives” (2283). Hope I cleared some misinformation 💛(: Okay back to the video 🫶 Edit: Okay we got mention again at the end 😅. I would encourage Johnny to learn about true Catholicism with an actual devoted Catholic. It’s pretty obvious he learned about Catholicism through a protestant 😅

[@VigilNaty]

Love this

[@ganktuh]

Catholicism is the devil's version of Christianity

[@vsty7z]

I never knew that catholics believed that as a whole but i always believed that for myself... All this talk about "we believe" is such a distraction, why cant people think for themselves?

[@sydnaps1995]

Saying we don’t have to pray for forgiveness we just have to believe in it; was so beautiful.

[@methusharavi5136]

The pancreas has dual roles - it is an organ of the digestive system and of the endocrine system. The exocrine pancreas produces enzymes that help to digest food, particularly protein. The endocrine pancreas makes the hormone insulin, which helps to control blood sugar levels.

[@pinkstrwberry8]

I watched his interview, then the first interview on this channel. A couple of months later I was going THROUGH it and had just got out of a meeting with my manager about starting therapy and I was so overwhelmed wondering how I was going to continue with life. As I step back on the floor to go back to work I saw Johnny shopping. I talked to him for a bit, and I went home and cried so hard. it's been a year since and I watch him almost daily on Instagram. I pray daily and my mental health has improved tremendously. I am forever grateful and will never forget this story.

[@sof5611]

esther is so pretty!!! like her makeup was so on-point too

[@noroyalbloodline3983]

Johnny seems so much more comfortable this time around

[@TheEndIsCuming]

cuz he's homies with them now

[@tobypark2045]

I don’t even believe in God but I thank him Johnny’s back!!

[@lamma746]

Same! I believe in a high power and don’t mind referring to it as god, but Johnny is amazing person. I’d go to his church any day.

[@carbee123]

Man if I was in LA, I would love to go to Johnny’s church 🙏

[@Kai-gn1gw]

Thank you for bring on Johnny, i was also having the same question as Viet about good family members going to hell, which always stood as a hurdle in my faith thank you for showing us the bible verse

[@esthersim9216]

I love Johnny’s calm energy. 🙏

[@nakandaisaac]

2:18:36 nah bro Johnny telling a story and then going “…its funny” KILLED me 😂😭

[@PurpleBouncingBall]

Man I love this guy. He makes me want to be closer to God! Cheers Johnny! 🙏❤️

[@paigemoloney]

Bro when Johnny said he prays most when he’s driving, I related so much, on the way to work especially! 😂 praying always eases my stress, so I also make sure I pray and thank god on my drives to the beach

[@liyinchong4493]

Watch this podcast for 3rd time now.. The love from God through Johnny was extremely strong till I couldn't hold up my tears. Not sure why i cried too. 😅

[@m3lona]

ESTHER IS SLAYINGGGGGGGGGGG

[@liyinchong4493]

Forever Thank God for UTI inviting Johnny a year ago. My family and I were safe since then. Appreciate y'all from the bottom of our heart. ❤

[@morganeb2403]

That one day at a time thing has legitimately saved my life multiple times

[@yagult9976]

20:16 Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists have coexisted but have also had conflicts. For example, in India, there have been Hindu-Muslim tensions. While Muslims and Christians have had conflicts, they have also coexisted peacefully in the Middle East for centuries. As Muslims, we see Christians (and Jews) as people of the book since we share similar beliefs. Personally, as a Muslim, I am always a bit confused about the Trinity in Christianity. How can God be the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit? Why does God need to die, sleep, or face struggles? In Islam, God is the one who doesn’t need to sleep, is absolutely pure, and all-seeing. I think it might be interesting for you to listen to one of Dr. Zakir Naik's lectures for a different perspective. Btw, this is no hate to Mr. Chang. I think it's pretty cool that he knows so much about religions, and he seems to be a very respectable and inspiring person.

[@angellegander5761]

Jesus never sleeps tho❤❤

[@yagult9976]

@@angellegander5761 Correct me if I’m wrong but in the Gospel of Mark Jesus falls asleep in a boat during a storm: Mark 4:38 “Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, ‘Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?’”

​@@yagult9976You are correct. During that time Christ was in human form, so he would obviously have the same basic needs humans would need, such as sleep.

[@justinjamescolon]

The episodes with Johnny have heart and hunger for the Lord. It’s cool to see everybody jump into the questions and I pray for the crew to grow in their relationship with Christ too.

[@Youngmoneygettinmoney]

Thanks for putting this out guys, Johnny really jus tapped in with the spirit like that. Profound healer fr. Yall will never know the magnitude of the effect u have, appreciate the positivity of this episode. Love u guys.

[@gia3uha]

A conscious decision is made when cheating. If you commit to the action(s), then you commit to the consequence(s). If the person you’re with makes more “withdrawals” than “deposits”, then walk away with dignity. You’re choosing to momentarily or periodically be with someone else anyway, so why not just accept that the two of you are not in the same book, let along on the same page, and end the relationship. Things can be forgivable, but not fixable 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@leahcarmichael5514]

That part threw me off especially when he was talking about the man being emasculated like I’m sorry how about talking to your wife about it and actually working on your relationship. I hate the man feel emasculated argument like what does that have to do with cheating😂

[@KezaAmandaGakusi]

I see what you're saying but like he said it was all on her he was there to help her acknowledge her wrong and her and her husband ultimately decided to stay together. To each their own some people forgive and try to fix not just cause they still love each other still but also because they both knew they did some wrong. That doesn't mean it was necessarily her fault he cheated but she also chose to say the things and do the things she did to him to hurt him emotionally. Johnny was only telling her to apologize for what she did not him cheating.

[@KezaAmandaGakusi]

​@@leahcarmichael5514he was explaining that there are details he doesn't want to disclose cause it was personal so he summarized it by saying she emasculated him! Also Johnny is not saying you have to stay together if someone chests but he's saying you can choose to work it out if you want to 35:58

[@paigemoloney]

Also thank you guys for bringing on Johnny again and Johnny thank you for all the wisdom 🙏🏼

the first episode i watched was the one with johnny and i have been watching ever since

[@SmirnaGirl01]

On you guys starting this podcast and nectar, I like Jeremy grew up in Christianity and struggled with it growing up, threw this podcast even it not being Christian centered God has spoken to me, God truly works in ways we can't even imagine and if this alcohol company is beings used to touch ppl God Is Good Always Amen

[@liyinchong4493]

Been waiting for this since March 🙌 ❤

[@Libertylaneeee]

These are my favorite podcasts where they are talking about God and where they are at as well. I committed my life to jesus a year ago and watching their initial video with Johnny was sooooo helpful for me as I was growing and finding better online examples and also a group of friends being real on their journey in growing in faith but also still being able to be silly.

[@sydnaps1995]

Jeremy that was such a good question although it was complicated you really posed it in a great way

[@gfamily9409]

Let’s gooooo 🎉🎉🎉 pt 2

[@gia3uha]

We’d never appreciate sweet if we hadn’t tasted bitter. We wouldn’t seek happiness if we hadn’t experienced sadness. Darkness is where growth takes place. When a seed is planted, it’s in the ground, in darkness. Everything outside of that seeds has to die in order for life to begin, right? Life is on the inside of the seed, not the outside. Once “life” comes out of that seed, it goes towards the light, the sun or the Son. So the darkness, as well as the light, is needed to bring and sustain life. Contrast brings clarity…

[@dope2111]

Here’s a really good quote in the Bible “The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord.

[@kylies.1841]

The fact that she said " you guys are the smartest people I know" had me cracking up. Also, when a store agrees to put your product on the shelf, make sure they allow you to promote the product in the store (which would include being allowed to film) and get it in writing/email form. Lastly, if they don't have anything posted saying you cannot record in their store, then its not an actual rule and I would reach out to the owner of that location. You don't have to contact corporate necessarily because if its a franchise, each location has individual owner.
