This interview really touched my heart and brought me happy tears. I went to grade school (Monterey Highlands) with Johnny, we had known him as Jon at the time. I definitely remember him being a little knucklehead and him hanging out with the trouble makers and at some point we all hung out as kids. I also remember hearing about his brother being from Wah Ching and his dad being abusive and a kid you don't really put those things in perspective. Words cannot express how happy I am that Jon and his family are doing really well. May God continue to bless them all.

Religion isn't what brings one to know God. God's Word (Jesus), is what brings one to life. Jesus says to follow Him, not man. Allow Him into your life, and Truth comes to light.

[@Nonviableaccount]

This is the first time I’ve cried in about 5 years. This guy is a resilient soul and was fortunate enough to have the natural intellect and perspicacity to be open minded and willing to be taught. I sometimes, in the ways of arrogance and pride, believe I know far more than I actually do and am unwilling to be shifted from my positions. This guy is someone who suffered far more trauma and injustice than I have, yet he was able and willing to view life from a completely different perspective and do something he categorically disagreed with, in spite of his own ego and righteousness. This enabled him to not only forgive himself, but then other people in his life, and he was able to accept forgiveness from others with grace and humility. Might be a sin in its own little way, but I envy him the fortitude of spirit, and can only determine to also do my best to seek guidance from those who know better and are willing to offer help. I am culturally Catholic, but have not ever practiced with any kind of consistency or authenticity, and have sought answers in Johnny’s own Buddhism and Judaism and many others. Fascinating to see what it means to someone who is introduced to such heavy and all-encompassing concepts as an adult, rather than being raised in it intrinsically without any formal “here are the basics of the beliefs” introduction that he experienced. Incredible journey and I hope Johnny and his family continue to be well and live peacefully.

It's one of the most powerful testimonies I've ever heard! Thank you, Johnny!

[@SamuelDiaz21]

Wow! Johnny’s testimony really hit home for me. When I was a young adult my father and I were really going through a rough patch in our relationship. I was living at home and for a period of about 2 years or so we wouldn’t even bother talking nor look at each other. Our relationship was broken and bitter, and some time during that period I made the decision to join to Marine Corps and I didn’t even bother telling my own father that I was leaving home. Fast forward and I’m a couple months into boot camp and on a Sunday I go to church and hear a sermon that just really convicted me about my decision to leave my father's home and not say a word to him about it. I could sense God's Holy Spirit telling me to write my father a letter and APOLOGIZE to him for leaving home the way I did, and that I was grateful for the father that he was providing for me all my life as his child, and I asked him to attend my bootcamp graduation. Two weeks later I get a letter in the mail from my sister telling me that my dad purchased a flight to San Diego to come and see me graduate Marine Corps bootcamp. I could hardly believe my eyes and cried like a baby. On the day of graduation after my senior drill instructor released my platoon I found my dad amongst all the family in attendance and we gave each other the biggest hug possible and cried together. Our relationship has been mended ever since, 7 years ago Glory be to God! Sin is truly a condition of the heart, of which only Jesus can mend.

I grew up in similar circumstances albeit a little more psychotic and less crime related.

The issue is that that intelligence is fucking useless to everybody around you in those areas. You can spend all day going down the rabbit hole on shit like why does my 4th grade teacher hit her students or why does my grandpa never say more than 5 words to me a day but the fact is when you speak up and try to have a conversation about these things no one listens to you. They reject you and put you down because they don't know how to deal with the emotional pain that causes them to behave in that manner. My approach was keeping it to myself and now the goal is to speak my mind more and help others speak theirs. This guy is an amazing example of that mentality to change and help others heal.

Johnny is the definition of “it doesn’t matter where you started, it’s where you finish that matters”. What a great interview. Big ups to both of you

Thats exactly what my husband says no home no food no $$$ shit dad illegal mom and he thrived through it all. He is starting his business real positive dude. I fucking love him. I had it all and was a miserable person. He taught me happiness is within myself and he pushed my ass to be my best self. Cant see my life without him.
