what's going on guys welcome back to another episode of the bryce carver podcast i'm bryce and today i have an awesome guest on recently became friends johnny ching johnny how are you doing bro appreciate you my pleasure do you think do you go by like i know some people call you pastor because you like do like an online church do you like do you call yourself pastor or i go by minister cool minister more than anything or just johnny okay yeah i'm not too big on the labels
Yeah, okay, cool. Yeah, that was actually something I wanted to talk to you about later. Yeah, I'm super excited about this. My favorite thing that I admire about you is your knowledge on the Word. It's just so crazy. I feel like that's such a beautiful compliment and such a beautiful thing to have.
The way that you quote Scripture and the way that you remember it on your heart, it's like every time you get asked a question, it's the first thing to come off your tongue. So I highly respect that. Thank you. And I also highly respect the work that God has done in your life. I mean, it's so crazy how you can hear something about someone.
And like whenever I hear your story, right, when I see videos and things like that, the Johnny that I know is not that old Johnny. So it's hard for me to imagine what your life was like before. And so I just really admire your heart, your character, and your dedication to Scripture. So I appreciate you. Thank you, bro. Yeah, man.
Um, I bet a lot of times when you do interviews, do you get asked to like share your story a lot? Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. I'll let you kind of summarize that quickly because I want this to be different. I want us to just like ask questions about the Bible and stuff like that. Cause I think there's, there's a lot of value to that, but I don't want to undermine what God's done in your life.
So if you had to briefly summarize how God encountered you, what your life looked like before and afterwards, what would you do?
Right.
Dang. Insane. I mean, praise God. I didn't even know that about, um, about you being Muslim for like a time period. From what I know, like for, for like people that are raised Muslim, at least, I think there's an average, like it takes a Muslim seven years to leave Islam. What was, what was your deciding factor of like leaving that essentially?
no no i understand that i could right before so i i tried to take my life when i was 17 and like a couple months before that i always heard well if you got some religious structure in your life then you know you'll be good you'll be good and it just like i just so i kind of like feel you for for a sense and like it just doesn't work yeah it just does not work um thanks for sharing that i know you get to share that a lot um and it's always encouraging to hear
I wanna shift gears to a lot of questions that I have and I wanna hear your perspectives and things like that. I think my first question would be, yeah, I hear it a lot. I hear the sin being an identity thing. But then I think of like, I literally just got a phone call last night from a friend. He's like, I literally am struggling with this certain sin habit or this addiction, this stronghold.
How does someone break a sin stronghold in their life?
Dang. So I guess like something that I have a hard time thinking sometimes is like, and even I have a hard time sometimes for myself is that trusting in that word. And I have a hard time reading my Bible sometimes. I think it'd be a universal thing that people struggle with reading their Bible.
How can people take the step to read their Bible more? Like what if someone were to say, Johnny, I don't have motivation to read my Bible. What would you say to that? Because I get asked that all the time. What would you say to that?
Whoa, whoa. That's encouraging. So this is a thought I've been having recently, which is, and it was a conversation I was having with Josh literally last night. Can you be a Christian and be depressed? Absolutely.
Is that how you discern the thoughts? Because I believe that if Jesus lives inside of me, that he consumes my thoughts. So I kind of describe it like if I'm walking down the sidewalk and I see a homeless guy and I feel the unction to give this guy five bucks, I'm like, okay, I selfishly would not do that. But...
There's some days where I'll have a thought that I don't know if it's a bad thought or a good thought. Like, I just don't know where it's coming from. So you're using the word of God to discern that. Yeah. How would you compare that? Like, I guess I'm trying to find an example. Like, what if it's like, should I buy the red truck or the blue truck? You know, like something like that.
It's not necessarily sinful.
Yeah, for sure. I think it's something that I struggle to wrap my mind around. There's a verse, I think it's in Proverbs, where it says a righteous man falls seven times and then gets back up. And I have a hard time understanding that because every time I hear that verse particularly quoted, it's from people that abuse the grace of God. Sure.
