Why Jesus Rejects "Good People" (The Scary Truth) | #049
Unlearned Wisdom by Johnny Chang
Weaknesses that ruin relationships
Hosts identify failure to acknowledge faults, lack of alignment with God, and self-trust issues as relationship killers.
Why trying to be a "good person" is the ultimate spiritual trap that fuels pride and blocks you from accessing God's grace. I break down why admitting you are "garbage" is the only way to be truly saved and why your strength is actually your greatest weakness.
