Any ounce of our flesh, just let it be squashed right now before we start recording. God, I thank you for each and every soul in this room, the ministry, and the trust that you've placed in them.
The George Janko Show

It's been a joy spending time with you. Yeah, Jesus, thank you so much for today, God, and we just thank you for our brother Ruslan. God, we just love him. God, I'll never understand the weight of what Ruslan and his family is going through, but God, we thank you that you share in suffering with us. God, we thank you that you understand.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
God, I just ask that the peace that surpasses all understanding just overflow in Ruslan and his family's life. God, we thank you for them. We thank you for their earnest pursuit of you. God, I just bless Ruslan and his family in Jesus' name and bring them the most peace and the most comfort that comes from the heart of you guys.

The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I feel like when I read 1 Corinthians, Paul says, no temptation has overtaken you that's not common to man. And so I know when Bryce struggles with sin, it makes me want to go isolate because no one's going to understand how I feel. There's the part of the human nature that goes isolate because no one understands how I feel.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And then there's the other part of the human nature that's selfish and says, let me isolate and protect my self-image. And he says, no temptation is overtaken that's not common to man because when we isolate, we think no one's going through it. So I think for Bryce is when I struggle with sin, I have to recognize that there's a whole lot of people that are actually struggling with what I do.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So it doesn't make me feel alone in it. And then Paul finishes that out. I think it's 1 Corinthians 10, 13, where he basically explains that there is a backdoor to sin. There's no sin we can't say no to. And so when I read the epistles and the gospels, it tells us that temptation is inevitable. But when they write about sin, it always says, if we sin. If we sin, if we sin, if we sin.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Now, I'm a sinner. I struggle with sin a lot. But that gave me a lot of comfort, knowing that Paul says temptation is inevitable, but through the power and strength of his spirit, I can say no to it. And just to invite you into my personal life, 2024 was one of the hardest years of my life. Seriously. Growing with Christ, I felt like all of 2023, my life was filled with grace. So much grace.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
God loves me, and it's amazing. Oh, man, praise God. It's awesome. And I felt great. And I carried so much grace that when Bryce fell into sin in 2023 because I thought I was all sunshine and rainbows, I carried more guilt and shame that year than I've ever felt in my life. Then in 2024, I said, it's not about grace. It's just straight truth. So I got to press it in.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So I was memorizing the scripture. Oh, I got to wield my sword of the spirit to combat this temptation, and I got it, and I got it. And I was just crushing myself. I knew the verses, sin across the board, pride, anger, and lust would come my way, and it felt like that. I knew the verses.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Bryce knew the verses, and I knew what to say in the moment, but for some reason, everything was so hard for Bryce to overcome, and I felt like my missing ingredient for the grace, too much grace, I was tolerating sin in other people's lives, and in my own in 2023, 2024, I was crushing myself the way I saw myself, and the missing ingredient for me was my love for Christ.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
knowing that, man, I love God so much that my sin is murdering him and hurting him, that my sin beat him and crucified him and ripped the flesh off of his back. Because when Bryce in 2024 was all truth, it was, oh, lust is in my way? Okay, Paul says to flee from it. He says, cut my hand off if it's causing me to sin. And I was picturing words on a piece of paper, which is true. There is true.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
We need scripture to combat that. But I wasn't picturing the face of Jesus and what my sin was doing to him. And all it was was just a piece of paper to Bryce. And so I started weeping. I started weeping in like November of 2024 of God, this sucks. I just want to see you and I want to know you. And I kind of understand it's either I'm going to humble myself before God or let this stuff humble me.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I can either humble myself and go, God, I need you. And that's why I love this. The last thing I'll say, Psalm 51, King David, man after God's own heart. One of the legends of the Old Testament. struggles with lust, sleeps with another woman, kills his best friend and her husband. So it's like, what the heck?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I love that passage because like a lot of these Psalms, David is crying out to God in the midst of him struggling with sin. And he says, man, like when I keep this sin inside of me, it's like crushing my bones. Yeah. It's making me feel heavy. It's weighing my body down. I can feel it in my bones.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And whenever we hide that sin and we don't look for help and we isolate or whatever it may be, why ever we hide it or try to internally, you know, we try to white knuckle our sin, we hit sin for the dopamine hits that we can find with Christ or things like that. He's like, man, it's in me. And you give the devil the license to use that sin against you and to bring that guilt and shame in your life.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But he says, but when I confessed... The weight was off me. My bones weren't crushed. I humbled myself and said, God, I've sinned against heaven and earth. Thank you for forgiveness. And God, what's the strategy? And so to invite people in, man, at the same time, I may be evangelizing and sharing Jesus because I love God. I really do, and I'm passionate about it.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I'm also 21, and I'm trying to figure this thing out too. And the reality is it's like life sucks sometimes, and it's hard. But when I started to begin and reimagine Jesus and my sin hurting him and beating him and ripping the flesh off his back and realizing Jesus is a real person. It's not just words on a screen. He's not some legend. He is real.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It changed my perspective of how my sin hurts God. And it makes me 10 times more likely to say no to that because there's no temptation that has overtaken me that's not common to man. And I can say no because it does hurt him and it breaks his heart. And that's not God's original design for my life.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Well, got there at 2 a.m., only booked it off things. And keep in mind, like, I pull up. It doesn't say hotel in the front. It says Moxie in cursive bright neon pink. And I look in there. There's no check-in desk. There's people drinking, which, you know, no problem with that. And there's a bartender in there. So I'm like, all right.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I go in there, and the bartender, like, shakes the water off his hands. He goes, how can I help you? And I said, I need to check in my hotel. He's like, yeah, you check in with me. And I was like, okay. So we check in, and we go up there, and everything in the room was, like... Sexual, I guess. It was so interesting.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It was like sexual language or there was like a window into the bathroom so you could see into the bathroom. There was, and then the phone next to our thing, it said, dial this number for a sexual bedtime story, is what it said on the thing. And I'm sitting there like, I'm never, ever booking a hotel ever again. Straight Airbnb from now on. Wait, what is it called? It was called the Moxie.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It was built intentionally for like... Anything with a neon sign, my man, it's not...
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I like Hebrews 11 when he talks about this thing called the cloud room of witnesses, legends of the faith, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, all Old Testament legends of the faith, guys that keep the law, and then Rahab the prostitutes in there. And I love it because it's like, why are they in there? It's not because they're legends of the faith, because I love what Cliff said.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
They kept the law and the law is what got them into heaven. They were obedient to the law because they had faith in God. And it flows right into Hebrews 12. And then he goes, and now we look to Jesus Christ, who is the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him, he endured the cross. We were the joy. We were the reason that he endured the pain and suffering of the cross.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
If the bartender's checking you in, that's... Yeah, it was crazy. But it was good.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And so the reason why, me personally, I got baptized is because it's an outward expression of an inward heart change. I'm outside of the water as my old self. baptized into death with Christ, resurrected into new life as Colossians teaches us, old self goes down, new self comes up. And I think it's so encouraging because why wouldn't a Christian want to have that outward expression of faith?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It's comforting to know that the thief didn't have to do that, didn't have to work to get into heaven, but I believe Jesus encourages it because he himself got baptized. So I love being a Christian that goes, this is an outward expression of what happened inwardly to me. My life was wretched, I was awful, and I was my old self, baptized in the water, and now I'm clean.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I'm clean through the blood of Christ. And I just, I love that symbolism. Even with the prodigal son, like you brought up earlier. You know when the son comes home, and the father meets him and hugs him, and he's like, get the fattened calf, we're gonna throw a party. And he goes, get the robe, get my finest robe. That's the father's robe.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Oh, absolutely not. Absolutely no bedtime story for me.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I literally picture that as God clothes us in his righteousness. That's the robe we receive because he paid the price. He put the blood on the mercy seat. Mercy is withholding what we deserve. Grace, giving something that we don't deserve. Mercy, withholding what we do. And I feel like Jesus put the blood on the mercy seat. Here you go. I paid the price.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I love that because Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, all these legends of the faith, Keepers of the law, well, how did they get saved? They were justified by what? Their faith. But the reason they did the things was because they had faith. And then Jesus Christ is the author and perfecter of our faith. And I just love that.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But, you know, the good thing was we had a good conversation with the bartender when we walked in there. He laughed at my hoodie because I walked in there and he goes, oh, that's hilarious. And starts laughing because it said, crack the Bible, not drugs on it. And he laughed at it. And then I kind of like, should I laugh? Should I not laugh? And he was like, wait, are you religious?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I was like, I'm a Christian. And he goes, oh, well, I'm agnostic, man. And we just kind of start talking. And I invited him out yesterday. He didn't come?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
That's like pretty crazy, dude. Oh, thank you for the encouragement. Yeah, it was good. Like we got to talk to people in there, but it was definitely a shocking experience to say the least. for sure. But it's cool because you can be a light in those environments. That stuff can be around you but not affecting your covenant with God. Yeah, absolutely.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
If our eyes are up and all this junk's down here, it doesn't have to affect our actions, thoughts, and emotions. And I love what you said yesterday. You said something that changed my life yesterday. when we were at the thing, because you were talking about your temper, and I'm like, oh my gosh, I struggle with my temper so much. And you said, you don't make me lose my temper.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I give you the power to make me lose my temper. And it just put a lot into perspective for me. I was like, oh my gosh, if I fall into sin, it's because I give that thing the power to control me. And it changed my perspective of everything.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So as funny as it is that I booked this low-key strip club for a hotel and had no idea, I could be a light in that environment and not give that environment the power to control my actions, thoughts, and emotions. That actually changed my life last night. So thank you for that. That was amazing.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I need to give you a holy kiss. You owe me one, brother.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I appreciate that because I like looking at scripture as like, particularly like, so I became friends with these guys called the Hebrew Israelites. And when I had a conversation with them, they looked at me and said, Bryce, because of your ethnicity, you're going to hell. And there's nothing you can do about it.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Because Jesus came to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, and you look pretty white to me, Bryce, so you're going to hell. That's what they talked to me about. And I like looking at scripture as it was written, two Jews, four believers. Like there are some things in scripture particularly, like you look at Corinth. Paul's writing in Corinth because they're being extremely wicked.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
They're running the church. They're sleeping with temple prostitutes. They're doing some interesting things. And Paul has written specific things, like the cultural things in that time, going, hey, you guys better watch out here. You guys are having some sexual impurity in the church. Women, you guys need to cover your heads. You need to do a little bit of this and do a little bit of that.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But in the Gospels, when these Hebrew Israelites were saying, Bryce, Jesus came for the lost sheep of the house of Israel. You're not the lost sheep of the house of Israel. No go. I looked at him and I say, well, Jesus can't be in Israel and Austin, Texas at the same time. Jesus limited himself in his humanity to the Jewish people at the time. He was a Jew. He was in Israel.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Okay, guys, I'm speaking to you. But the core principles apply to all believers. Deny your flesh, surrender to Christ, all of these things. And it was super encouraging for me to go, Okay, praise God that he humbled himself, became a man so close and personal to me, he became a human, limited himself and his humanity to the Jewish people at the time.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And then you even look at Paul after Jesus Christ is resurrected and the Gentiles go, yo, okay, so are we supposed to do these things that the Jews are doing, these traditions? And then the Jews are like, wait, are we supposed to stop doing these certain things like the tefillin that they wrap around their hands when they pray? Are we supposed to stop doing this and become like the Gentiles?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I love Paul's response. Jews keep being Jews. Gentiles keep being Gentiles. Amen. And they keep moving forward. And that just brings me a lot of comfort to know that Jesus loves me enough to be in Western civilization and his sacrifice is sufficient enough for me in these times. And there's so many different things in scripture.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And that's why I like to watch a lot of Give Me an Answer and watch a lot of Johnny Chang and Girls Gone Bible and Ruslan and Learn From You is because as someone that wrestles with things in the Bible, You guys all give me different perspectives and help challenge me and grow.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And aside from my entire For You page and YouTube recommended feed being on the couch, I use my library and Logos and all these beautiful things that help me go, oh, okay, when Jesus calls himself the Son of Man, he's not saying he's not God. He's referencing to Daniel 7, who said that the Messiah would call himself the Son of Man. He's not saying I'm a human and not God.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
He's speaking the language to the Jews at the time. And so it's so cool that like we can access all these resources through a phone and through these things to understand these things. And to be honest, it brings me a lot of comfort, makes me enjoy and makes me learn more about him and Jesus's culture as a Jew and all these things.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And so it just brings me a lot of comfort and knowing that like there's a lot of freedom in that. And Cliff made me feel really comfortable yesterday sticking up for me. Like, sure, Bryce looks like a doodle board and has tattoos and, like, ear piercings and this thing.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But, like, he encouraged me in my faith by sticking up for me and saying, just because Bryce's outward appearance looks like this doesn't mean his faith isn't genuine. And that really encouraged me. So thank you, Cliff, for doing that. You're welcome, Bryce.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Well, the Peter thing, when it says that when Jesus tells Peter that I'm going to build this foundation of the rock on you, Jesus is using symbolic language of saying, I'm trusting you with the system of the church. So for someone that struggled with Christianity growing up because there were a lot of hypocrites, it made me go, I don't need church. I'm good. I'm perfectly fine.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But then when I started reading scripture, I realized, no, the system of the church is a beautiful thing because when Bryce goes through hard times, I need the fellowship of brothers and sisters to come around me and encourage me, challenge me, pray for me. What a beautiful thing it is to have God trust a pastor to shepherd your soul. That's a beautiful thing.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I know it can be confusing sometimes, for example, like the Peter thing, but he's using symbolic language of saying like, Peter, I trust you. With this system, I call the church to create it. I'm going to give you wisdom to build this structure. And then he goes, that's the same guy that said, I would never deny you, Jesus. Then he denies him three times.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And then we see something very amazing here. The same guy that denied Jesus Christ in Acts receives the gift of the Holy Spirit because Jesus ascends, the promise comes through, and what happens?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
The same guy that denied him through the power and strength of the Holy Spirit stands up and begins the system of the church in front of 3,000 brothers and sisters and says, you guys killed the author of life. but God raised him from the dead. And this is the way it is. And they go, yep, you're right.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Well, I think you have to finish your verse. You brought up a verse. You said for the wages of sin is death. But what's the end of it? But the free gift of God is eternal life. You're a straight shooter. Okay. When we first went to dinner, you shot it straight to me and you laid the odds on the table with some things in my life. And I appreciate you for that.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So I don't think when you brought up the COVID vaccine example, if you don't get the COVID vaccine, you can't do this. You can't do that. You can't do that. But the options on the table, I think Jesus is saying, here's the results of your options. So if Jesus forced everyone in this room. to love him. He's a cosmic dictator. The love's not genuine.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So I think it's a beautiful thing that both God gives us the choice to choose him, but he lays the options on the table and says, here's the results of your decisions. So hell being not only a choice, but a justice system. That's what I love that you guys explained so well, is we have to be held accountable for our actions.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And when we stand before God on judgment day, I can't hide from God and say, I didn't do that. my actions and my words are going to testify against me. And I love the beautiful thing about it is Jesus doesn't leave us hanging and says, yep, here's how it is. Here's the things on the table. It's on top of that. On top of that is I paid the price for you. So here's the ticket, my life.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Basic economics, the value of something is the price you put on it. And Jesus put the value of me with his life. And so I don't think it's necessarily revoking a free will. I think it's God saying, you have the choice to choose me or not, but here's the results of your choices because I am God. I set the standard. I'm all powerful, all knowing, loving God.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I set the standard and here's just the result of your actions.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I think we have to think of it like accountability. It's not like God's torturing us and it's like God is joyous that we're going to hell. Like when Jesus Christ, when we stand before God and in this lifetime we choose, I don't want anything to do with you, it breaks his heart. But he respects the decision that we made with our life, and we have to own it. And our actions own it.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I do think it's forever. And this is why. It's because I think Jesus is being extremely literal. When he comes on this earth and he says, repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand, and he's talking about hell and he's talking about heaven, because I really believe that Jesus respects the choices that we make in this lifetime. And then he says, for the wages of sin is death.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
but the free gift of God is eternal life. Look, I wrestle with this too. I don't want to act like I don't know anything because there are people in my life, like when I worked in Florida, I had a coworker who was double my age. We were best friends, but he hated God every time I brought it up. And here's the thing though, is I told him so much about Jesus. His name was Mitch and he hated God.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I went to go visit him last year and he overdosed on drugs and passed away. And how hard it was for me to think, I didn't do enough. I didn't say enough. It wasn't my thing.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I think this is where I look in the gospels and I see when Jesus sends them out in two and he says, when they don't receive you, dust, like wipe the dust off your feet and move to the next city because he's saying you respect the decision. And the reality was is that Bryce didn't necessarily not say enough because I presented the gospel many times to Mitch.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Do I think it was right? I don't know. I'm not the judge. I can't say this is the thing.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Oh, man. Well, I think that kind of transitioned to the biggest thing God's taught me. over that year is just, I don't know, everything kind of happened out of nowhere. And I knew that, uh, God using, using our, our, just my heart for souls in a unique way. God trusted me with that. I knew it wasn't out of nowhere.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Um, but that's why I struggled a lot towards the end of last year from about June, July to probably November was my, my faith became, there's so much pressure on me right now. And I have to do this because of the pressure. And I felt like there were just swords pointed at me from every angle. And I'm not trying to make excuses, but I'm in my room. I'm not even 21 at the time. I'm 20.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I'm just trying to figure this whole thing out. I'm still trying to figure my faith out, challenging God. So I felt like every day I was struggling and not just like, oh, one day I struggled with anger and next day I struggled with lust.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It felt like every day, every temptation was in my face and my faith became, let me learn as much as I can just so I can make this video, just so I can shepherd these people. And it was draining and it was hard and it sucked. And it was tough, and I was having a hard time. And I love the language in the Prodigal Son of like, I kind of finally came to myself. Like, I hate this.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I seriously hate this. And it was hard because I felt this pressure and weight to be this perfect person and exalted and you know, the sores, and I didn't feel prideful. I didn't feel like I was anything special, but everyone were making me out to be this special person and the pressure, and so I was just lost and confused, and my faith became solely intellectual.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It was all logic, and I felt like I was solely based on how much knowledge I knew, and the more knowledge I knew, I was closer to God, and I was building my own tower of Babel based on how much knowledge I felt, and
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
finally i got to a point where at the at the at the beginning of this year well i i took a lot of rest in december because i was like i can't keep doing this i gotta take rest and at the beginning of the year i'm at a conference and i look to my left and there's a deaf section six people deaf and they're looking at an interpreter doing sign language and they're on their knees crying to god
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And it kind of stopped me, and I started weeping. And I just go, I just need my dad. In that moment, I'm weeping, and I'm like, I just need my dad. I can't do this anymore.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Bryce can't keep micromanaging his faith because Bryce was a strong man in his faith and was struggling, and my faith that was sustained through just this person of Jesus, and he's a real person to me, became dopamine hits of where can I get a dopamine hit to micromanage my faith and all of these things, and I felt so crazy, and I felt like it was all on me, and I just finally went exactly like the prodigal son of I just need my dad.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Keep pointing around. All right, I'll pray for us.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
There's no amount of books. There's no amount of people I can call. Like they're not Holy Spirit. They're not Jesus. There's no library I can go to. There's no thing. And that's literally what my faith became was how much knowledge can Bryce make to micromanage his faith? And Jesus stopped me. It just wasn't real to me. It was just language.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I came to myself and I was like, so my prayer became, God, I want you to become more real to me than you've ever become. And that's the most, all the weight fell off of me. And so the grace to join you guys at ASU, for the first time, it felt like I was communicating about someone that was real to me. And it wasn't just this internal thing.

Like I'm wielding my wisdom, like we talked about when we chatted. I'm wielding my wisdom against these people and strongmanning them because I was trying to strongman my own fate. So I was just doing the very thing that I was doing. And it was like, finally, for the first time in a long time, It felt so real to me. And the pressure was off and the swords were off.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I was like, I don't give a rip about the YouTube commentators and the clippers and the people that have anything to say about rice. They just got a view of me. They don't know me. And I'm just 21 and I just needed my dad.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I called out my dad, and he responded to me. And that was where I've seen this beautiful transformation from what was this drought, this dry and thirsty land that David says in Psalm 63. It felt like a never-ending dry and thirsty land from July to November. And then just going like, dang, I just need my dad. And it was cool.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
To kind of build off of what Sister Angela was saying, too, I think a lot of people, and as well as the identity being brought up, a lot of people don't understand that sin is also an identity issue in terms of Romans 5, verse 19. Through one man's sin entered the world, and death passed upon all men. For that, all are sinners, right? So Adam's sin passed it down to Cain.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
He didn't teach Cain how to murder or anything like that. It was a nature that was passed down. And a lot of people think that, well, you know, like for the lady in your example, she's feeling condemnation because she's looking at her actions, not understanding that it's an identity issue. And that's why Jesus says, Galatians 2.20, that I have been crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
The issue is people trust their thoughts above the word of God, right? John 16 verse 9 tells us very clearly that unbelief is sin, right? Of sin because they don't believe in me. Well, believing in Jesus, not just knowing about him, is believing exactly what sister was saying, what he did for us. He perfected us, made us righteous, made us holy.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And that's something that people struggle with because they're trusting their thoughts and what they see, not walking by faith. So a lot of the times people live this happy, sad lifestyle, this up and down lifestyle, serving ministry for 10s, 20s, 30s, you know, years. And it's because they're focusing on what they see. And our eyes are obviously deceitful. Our heart is deceitful.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So any feeling that they have, right, anything that they look at with their own eyes observing, it causes them to live this rollercoaster lifestyle. And that's why they're saying, I can't be, I'm not worthy. Well, our job is not to look at ourselves, but to only be in the scripture, only look at what God is saying about us.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And he shows us beautifully in the first miracle with the wedding at Cana, right? When they look at it, it's water, right? Six water pots, touch it as water, taste it as water, smell it as water. But Jesus says it's wine. What he's teaching them is actively metanoia, which is repentance, distrusting your thoughts, going above your mind, transcending your mind, back to the word of God.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So Jesus says it's wine. We look at it, it's water. Likewise, Jesus says, I made you righteous. I died for everything. No, but I'm still a sinner. When we focus on ourselves in this way, that's when we're able to kind of really fall short and not experience the true love and the blessing from God. And this is what I notice with a lot of people who come and say, I got to stop my sins.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Well, God already crucified everything. 2 Corinthians 5.17 says you're a new creature. It doesn't say you're being made a new creature. You are. So either you're a new creature or you're going to trust your thoughts. And if you trust your thoughts and what you see, you will fail. But if you trust the word of God that never changes... And you can continuously move forward with that identity.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Oh, I'm perfected through Jesus. I don't have to trust my thoughts. The world tells me to trust my thoughts, follow my heart. God says, lean not on your own understanding. Your heart is deceitful above all things. So which one am I going to trust? Either trust the word of God or trust my feelings. And that's kind of.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
What I've noticed, at least in my experience of why people continuously fall short, feel that condemnation, which they think is conviction. Two different things. Right.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Yeah. So, you know, Matthew 12, 37 tells us, you know, by the fruit of your lips, you shall be justified by the fruit of your lips. You shall be condemned. The reason why Adam, you know, God had Adam named the animals was not because God was tired. He could have named the animals himself, but he was teaching Adam was that there's power in your tongue, right?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So if you're sitting there and you're saying, you know, it's a rhinoceros, it's a dog, you know, it's a hippo, whatever. So shall it be is what, You know, God was teaching Adam, but it's in the same stroke. If I say that I'm a sinner and nothing's going to work out, I'm depressed, I'm lonely, I have anxiety. What I'm doing is I'm giving that power. Right.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And it's leading me and dragging me according to what I say. But if I sit there and I say, although I sinned, God has washed my sin. I can continuously move forward boldly and meet him at the throne of grace, at the throne of mercy, then it gives us this type of confidence to move forward. It's not a prideful ego thing. It's, God, I'm assuming my identity because you gave me your identity.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
You gave me your crown. You gave me literally everything that I need. Even your cross, you gave it to me because I was crucified on that cross with you, right? So it's very important. to understand that what we say, our heart is going to follow that as well. There is power in that tongue. When I thought I was a gang member, that's how I moved. Oh, I got shot. I've been stabbed.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I'm just going to be a prisoner for the rest of my life. I'm a two-strike felon. When I followed that mindset and I trusted that, yeah, I'm a gang member. I'm no good. Like, I'm going to just do whatever I want. I lived in that depression. But when I heard the gospel through Hebrews 10, 14, four by one offering, he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Perfected as in past tense, forever is eternally. Meaning Jesus did everything. He didn't fail. So I was able to assume that, wow, I need to stop trusting Johnny Chang and his thoughts. I need to start trusting the word of God. And the more I did that, I started to read the Bible, I started to really know God. And it was much different than me trusting in myself.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I think baptism is more of a spiritual, like symbolic one, right? Of course, if you have an actual water baptism, it is a declaration of faith, and it is an opportunity for us to preach the gospel, because at the end of the day, the gospel is what's going to save us, right? Not being dunked in water, right?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So, and that's why Paul, you know, when he wrote all the epistles, he also mentioned in Corinthians that I come not to baptize, but to preach the gospel. So I think truthfully preaching the gospel is symbolic of, you know, washing away your sins. It's the very core message of Jesus. It's the testimony of Jesus to have the blood wash away all of your sins.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Now, the water baptism is just symbolic of that. Whether that's up to the families or not, we shouldn't worry about it causing division. As long as we keep everything gospel-centric, I think it won't divide anything. So it's not like, oh, you got to do this. If we are to do those things, as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9.22, to the weak I became weak so that I could save some of them.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I am all things to all men so that I can save some of them. Instead of getting into these quarrels about this is the right baptism, this isn't, if we keep it all focused on Jesus and the gospel, there is no division, right? So I think if you just focus on that, if they want to get baptized, great. If they don't, great. We don't have to argue about those things.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
The gospel is the true, I would say, the spiritual baptism. Because what does the blood do? It cleanses you from your sins, just like the water.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
If I believe that Jesus washed away all of my sins, that is the baptism. And it goes to Cliff's point with the thief on the cross.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Yeah. He's the true rest. Right. Sabbath day is the is the rest. Right. So what do you do on the Sabbath day? You rest in Colossians 2, 16 to 17. He says, don't let people judge you in meat and drink or of the Sabbath days or even the holy days. I am the Lord of Sabbath. So what do you do on the Sabbath day? You're you are to rest Sabbath. What do you do when you meet Jesus Christ?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
When you're a dirty, evil sinner and you can't, you're defeated. You are to give all of your sins over to him, believe in him and rest.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
That's why he says you have to enter into my rest. And then also Mark 11, 28. Also says that Matthew 11, 28, I'm sorry, tells us that, you know, those who are heavy burdened and laden come unto me and I shall give you rest. So Jesus is the true Sabbath. And that's it's again, it stops all the quarrels between is it a Saturday? Is it this day? Of course, there's also a Jewish Sabbath.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
There's also, you know, different ones, but. If you just keep it gospel-centered, if you just keep it Jesus Christ-centered, there is no division.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Well, James tells us we got to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger. So, Ari, go ahead, please.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I think also believing, right, with the prayer. Amen. So a lot of people pray, and it's almost like a transactional thing. God, I pray. Now, where is it? Mark 11, 24, it tells us pray, believe, receive.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
A lot of people pray, wait to receive, and then believe. It's backwards. And I think we should definitely pray for people, but also believing. You know, hey, like, that's what my mom did. I was, you know, still selling drugs, and I was carrying a gun, and mom goes... you're going to be the world's best gospel preacher. And I'm like, you got schizophrenia. I was like, you're crazy.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I got drugs for that. Right. And then she, but she believed it inside of her heart, even though she didn't see and the situation and the circumstance wasn't it, she was able to recognize that, you know, and it's just beautiful believing. In your prayer, after you pray, is the most important thing. Amen.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Again, it's a contextual thing. Go ahead, go ahead, sis.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Actually, I think I'll answer with an example. I was recently at Polinski Unit. It's a death row unit. And I was preaching the gospel to, you know, it was like 50 death row inmates. And they had a date, meaning an execution date. And, you know, everyone was saying they were righteous, perfected, Hebrews 10, 14, John 3, 16.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And then one of the guys was like, you know, Johnny, don't you think that's a little bit... undermining like people and the victims that they affected because I'm telling them that Jesus died for them. And when I went outside, I kind of pulled them to the side and I said, you have a point, but you have to understand we're all victims. We're all victims to sin. We're all interconnected to sin.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I love you too. I think it all ties back into like knowing the context, which is reading the Bible, right? Second Timothy chapter two, verse 15 tells a study to show yourself approved. And that's very important because how are you going to understand the context if you don't study?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
right, so if I'm trying to teach trigonometry, right, just because I'm Asian does not mean I'm good at math, okay, I wasn't one of those guys, I was a bad Asian, don't like anime, all right, so if I want to teach trigonometry, I have to at least study it, right, I have to at least put in the work and the hours, and this is why God tells us to be in our word, because if you're not in your word, then you're in your feelings, and then you're in your interpretations, and
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I think that's something that our audiences have to understand too, is that when we're judging other people, we are people also who are interconnected through sin. We're all falling short of the glory of God. And that's something that we have to you know, kind of ingrained. And with my community, they understand like we're dirt. That's our saying, dirt gang, right? God made us out of dirt.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
No manner of scriptures for interpretation, as they say. So it's important for us to understand that as you read the context, as you continuously read the Bible, it gives you the actual context. And it basically is a byproduct of it.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Dirt is something that's stepped on, spat on, peed on, pooped on, undervalued. However, when it remains that way, you plant a seed inside of it, it produces life, right? The word of God is the seed, but only if we can accept the seed, we have to be this good soil, right? So I've taught people that we have to come with humility.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
If you're judging other people, you're coming from a point of pride, ego, whatever it is, and it doesn't allow people to humanize other people. So we have to just take the Bible as what it says. Remember who you are.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I think it's a deeper rooted issue of trying to conceptualize things and bring a checkbox to God. We are finite individuals. We cannot understand the infinite wisdom. And that takes humility. A lot of people tend to question because they are like, OK, God, I don't want to have faith in you. I want you to confirm things with me and then I'll believe you. That in itself is not love either. Right.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So we need to come from a position of, OK, God, whether it makes sense to me or not, we are called to trust you as well. Because the beginning of love is trust. You cannot love somebody you don't trust. You know what I mean? So I feel like it's important to kind of step away from all of this vain quarreling and babbling respectfully and bring it back to, oh, I don't know anything.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
God, I trust that you have set everything up. You know exactly what's best. You love these people more than me to your point.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Then you will know exactly what you're going to have, like how you're going to handle it. Who am I being finite creation telling creator X, Y, and Z, right? So, I think that's helped me a lot. And then bring it back to the gospel. Because we have to then teach people, hey, you don't have to go to hell. God made it where everybody can get to heaven. And he, you know, predestination, all that.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
We can talk about all that, but we're going to be missing the forest for the trees. We have to focus on the gospel at the end of the day. Amen.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
If I can just add to that too, not to cut you off, but George, I'll hold him accountable. He calls me and he called me about that exactly. He's like, they're murdering me on the comments. And I was expressing, we spent like two hours on the phone talking about this. So at the end of it, he is definitely, I can attest to this, that he's definitely trying to learn.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And we're all students at the end of the day. We're going to learn until we die. Please be nice.

Thanks, Matt. And I echo the sentiment that you shared there. Really did enjoy the conversation with Mike.
The Growth Workshop Podcast
Episode 7 Review - Connections Before Content: Mike Hohnen’s Leadership Advice for Managing Managers
And when you've had a deep and meaningful conversation with someone, when you're taking a walk or you're thinking and reflecting that days after some of the points that Mike mentioned to us still ring in my ear and I resonate with, the critical one for me was about how effective leadership involves balancing task orientation with relationship building.
The Growth Workshop Podcast
Episode 7 Review - Connections Before Content: Mike Hohnen’s Leadership Advice for Managing Managers
And I then think about my own leadership or my own relationships with clients. And I think a lot of the time I'm task oriented. I'm ticking things off as I go through this list throughout this day. Oh, Friday, have I done my to-do list? Oh, it's Monday morning. What is my to-do list?
The Growth Workshop Podcast
Episode 7 Review - Connections Before Content: Mike Hohnen’s Leadership Advice for Managing Managers
So that's really resonated with me because actually indexing more on the relationships that will then help solve challenges or opportunities down the line. As I said, Matt, it really did resonate with me. So thanks for asking that. What about you, Matt?
The Growth Workshop Podcast
Episode 8 Review - Client-Centric SaaS: How to Scale, with Chris Regester
Thank you, Matt. And I can only echo what you say and have said about the time we spent with Chris from Planhat. Really interesting and something I resonated with. As a consultant myself, we are really focused on customer outcomes, focusing around what is the return of the investment that our clients make. And Chris made a fantastic point about that.
The Growth Workshop Podcast
Episode 8 Review - Client-Centric SaaS: How to Scale, with Chris Regester
Really shifting cultures towards a customer approach, really focusing on the organizational shift where teams understand and prioritize the customer outcomes. And that focus possibly in some locations across the world is not as prevalent or a priority anymore.
The Growth Workshop Podcast
Episode 8 Review - Client-Centric SaaS: How to Scale, with Chris Regester
So Chris mentions about how to achieve that customer centricity by really pushing that cultural change from top down with clear communication and alignment across all departments.
The Growth Workshop Podcast
Episode 8 Review - Client-Centric SaaS: How to Scale, with Chris Regester
It's something that we resonate with, importantly, across all of the commercial engineers, having all of those important departments wired together with that common narrative around customer centricity that will really drive cultural change. So yeah, echo what Chris was saying there and follows a valuable point. Matt, from your side, what was something of interest?

Episode 5 Review - How To Ask For Referrals with Thomas Coles: Your Network Is Your Net Worth
That's the important message I'm making here is and actually, in fact, if you do ask for referrals, most people are willing to give them referrals. So I did ask for referrals. There was a group of 17 people. Honestly, I got one back, but one is better than none. And that one was to an 18,000 person professional service firm based in the United States.
The Growth Workshop Podcast
Episode 5 Review - How To Ask For Referrals with Thomas Coles: Your Network Is Your Net Worth
So that individual knows the vice president of that organization really well. And I'm looking forward to an introduction by email. After that, I followed up with the individual who gave me a referral and said, well, what is the best way for us to connect? Is it via email? Is there another means? How well do you know the person? Is there anything I can share with you?
The Growth Workshop Podcast
Episode 5 Review - How To Ask For Referrals with Thomas Coles: Your Network Is Your Net Worth
Are you happy for me even to write the introductory email? The gentleman that I trained in Boston came back and said, hey, don't worry. I'm going to go and approach this person and let you know when the best time to talk to them. So that's my experience. Thank you to Thomas for sort of prompting his effective techniques was really super helpful as well. But Matt, there's an example. I've done it.
The Growth Workshop Podcast
Episode 5 Review - How To Ask For Referrals with Thomas Coles: Your Network Is Your Net Worth
The beautiful thing about doing these very short, punchy episodes is that you actually get a chance to apply some of the things that our wonderful guests share with us. I think the important part is that asking for referrals is not something that necessarily is new and profound.
The Growth Workshop Podcast
Episode 5 Review - How To Ask For Referrals with Thomas Coles: Your Network Is Your Net Worth
I think the point that we're stressing here then, Matt, is that, and thank you for sharing your perspectives around the mindset piece. Absolutely so true with the work that we've done in the past with organizations that this really does hinge on having the appropriate mindset twinned with the fact that you prepare well. And you know what you're going to say for a talk track.
The Growth Workshop Podcast
Episode 5 Review - How To Ask For Referrals with Thomas Coles: Your Network Is Your Net Worth
You know, the AI buzz at the moment, asking referrals has been around for hundreds of years, I'm sure, because people have always spoke to each other to share ideas and word of mouth around where to go next to get their problem solved. The point is, is we can talk about asking referrals for many more years, but if you don't do it, you really don't get any value from it.
The Growth Workshop Podcast
Episode 5 Review - How To Ask For Referrals with Thomas Coles: Your Network Is Your Net Worth
We're hoping that this podcast gives people ideas and tips, insights. And just as we demonstrate today is that Matt and I being authentic practitioners, the aim is that we take on these ideas from wonderful people that we speak to on a regular basis and we actually start applying them. And this has been a great episode that I've taken on personally and clearly yourself there, Matt.
The Growth Workshop Podcast
Episode 5 Review - How To Ask For Referrals with Thomas Coles: Your Network Is Your Net Worth
And we hope this is helping our audience and guests as well.
The Growth Workshop Podcast
Episode 5 Review - How To Ask For Referrals with Thomas Coles: Your Network Is Your Net Worth
The point that Thomas has made recently around effective techniques, I took that forward and rather than straightforwardly asking for referrals, I I was over in Boston with a financial service organization, helping them acquire multi-billion dollar deals. It was a fantastic couple of days over there. They're really looking to transform their approach of client engagement.
The Growth Workshop Podcast
Episode 5 Review - How To Ask For Referrals with Thomas Coles: Your Network Is Your Net Worth
And part of that was around how to actually ask for referrals. And the important part around that was I thought, well, if I'm going to help them ask for referrals... I might as well be asking for some myself. So the way I built that opportunity up was during the training that we conducted over in Boston.
The Growth Workshop Podcast
Episode 5 Review - How To Ask For Referrals with Thomas Coles: Your Network Is Your Net Worth
I ensured that I shared the techniques and examples of how to ask for referrals as described by making sure that we wait and look out for a thank you. And so when someone says thank you for all the advice or support they've given you and using that as a leverage point towards then asking for a referral. And because remember, most people don't ask for referrals.

The Planet Reigate Podcast
41: The Light’s first birthday, a look back at Reigate’s Summer Festival and Horley carnival… and more.
They make absolutely amazing pets. This is Robin, one of my greyhounds. She's been with us for over four years now. She is very chill. She's a therapy dog. She's good with children. She goes to senior homes to meet elderly people. She's got a very calming and chill...
The Planet Reigate Podcast
41: The Light’s first birthday, a look back at Reigate’s Summer Festival and Horley carnival… and more.
effect on everyone I've got three other dogs which are a bit more anxious and she's the calming one they don't require a lot of training they don't require a lot of exercise they're sprinters they have bursts of energy so that energy goes in a quick run and then they lie down and sleep 20 hours a day they're very healthy breed so they don't require high insurance premiums or high vet bills they're easy to groom mostly if trained well and looked after well they can be good with other animals children and even sometimes cats
The Planet Reigate Podcast
41: The Light’s first birthday, a look back at Reigate’s Summer Festival and Horley carnival… and more.
So they race between two and four. After four, they will need a home. So they spend the majority of their life looking for a home. And this is where the small part of the time, like the beginning, where the Greyhound Trust prepared them, because they've been in the racing industry, they haven't necessarily got introduced to a family home. They don't know what a TV is, what a doorbell is.
The Planet Reigate Podcast
41: The Light’s first birthday, a look back at Reigate’s Summer Festival and Horley carnival… and more.

I work from home, I work a lot, and they don't require too much attention. They changed my life since we had them. My wife now has a dog business right next door to us. It's because of them, since we adopted one, and I volunteer with the Greyhound Trust because of Robin since I met her and adopted her.
