    Thank you for having me Michael! Love and blessings - Johnny Chang

    I’ve avoided this podcast because I thought it was going to glorify the mob. This is the first time I’ve watched a full episode and I get it. This is a very anti-mob show and it’s great. Thank you.

    Man I hated my pops for years until I got sober. Once I got sober, I started to realize my pops was just another sick person. So much peace in accepting responsibility for yourself and forgiving others, especially your dad. Lotta respect for this guy.
  • @MyBabyLove13
    As a mother of children involved in these Cali gang streets, this was an eye opener, My faith in God has never been so elevated. Am I the answer to my children's redemption? My heart is now full of hope. Thank you!
  • It’s possible to change one’s life for the better. Johnny and Michael are living proof. 👏
  • @anthonyfong4922
    Johnny is so well spoken. Praise the Lord and thank you Michael for inviting him to talk to all of us. Hallelujah.
  • @tapiocamango
    Johnny Chang is such a likeable guy. He has this sincerity and grace. God Bless you, brotha.
  • @dt6750
    this guy is the healthiest 72 year old guy i’ve even seen.
  • @steveeazy18
    I grew up with these guys as my enemies and as you get old you realize that you were not that different and most of the beefing was unnecessary. It is great to see Jonny doing good for himself!

    I was never in gangs, but I was a bad, heroin and methamphetamine. Addict for 20 years. And by the grace of God and his mercy I have been clean and sober since May 16, 2007 never had a sip of alcohol or a bit of drugs since that day and I ended up becoming a pastor of a small local church, and God is so amazing don’t ever think you’re too far gone for the arm of the Lord. May the Lord bless you, and keep you and cause his face to shine upon you in Jesus name.
  • The most gangster thing this kid ever did was accept Jesus Christ into his life. Absolutely amazing testimony.
  • @Bardes82
    This is the 3rd interview on your channel that I've watched today. I was addicted to meth for a while and lost absolutely everything. I find that the hardest person to forgive is myself. Im trying to rebuild my life from the bottom up and today has been the kind of day where I haven't felt much hope. It's so incredibly difficult to get out of the justice system once you're in it. I'm now 18 months clean by the grace of God. I find your channel extremely comforting. Thank you. Much respect.

    You can't leave us hanging like that, Michael! We need the second half right away!

  • I saw Johnny first time bout year ago in Soft White Underbelly. This guy sound like well educared and well spoken. He's perfect storry teller. Wish him all the best. And go beyond youtube. Maybe he have skills in acting. Should try at least.
  • @ytty5183
    I'm not crying you're crying 😢
  • @listentologic
    I'm an atheist and even I felt the holy spirit from Johnny's story. Especially, the pastor part was profound to me. The thing about forgiveness to achieve peace.
