Ive been an Atheist for 40 years. I live in a country where the Christian population is less than 1%. JC’s interview gave me the courage to contact a nearby church and my life has completely changed. 2+ years and continuing as a Christian and loving life like never before.
@@MSR.00 I agree, I just found it interesting how Mark disclosed he didn’t want to air the original episode because it was too religious centered. But found it interesting because he interviews a lot of mentally deranged and tormented people and Johnny is not alone in that aspect. Beautifully flawed like all of us.
So I was a part of the cult that Johnny is affiliated with for 7 years. That is, Good News Mission. They have arranged marriages and basically teach you to defer to the pastors no matter what otherwise you are following your "evil thoughts". I have a Reddit where I go over GNM's errant theology titled "Leaving GNM " if you are interested.
Jesus said at Matthew Chapter 10 verses 8 and 9 you were given free you must give free. Not to collect gold and silver for helping and teaching about God and Jesus
I was atheist for decades. Johnny's first segment, as well as other factors in my life, brought me back to Christ and I'm so glad he waited for me. I come from a German Catholic family but never believed in needing to go through some creepy old geezer to talk to God. Jesus and I have a great relationship now. Thank you Mark and Johnny
i make a distinction between organised religion and spirituality. spirituality appeals infinitely more because it's your own personal connection with the universe, energy - whatever you wanna call it - and i think is less exclusive and more inclusive. We are the universe. We are one.
I was very fortunate to have grown up Catholic with the Sisters and the Monsignor of our parish taking care of my single mom and our family, paying for my private high school and gifting me a nice car to get there. In my early 30' s I moved to Beverly Hills and had a difficult time adjusting. I walked into the Catholic Monestary at 10pm and spoke with a Father about my issues. He was a licensed psychiatrist and a good man, we were friends for 19 years. He took me to Lakers Games, movies, lunch & coffee. We got together at least weekly. I've been blessed to have had the love and support of the Catholic Church.
I became a foster parent in part because of this channel. It just seems like the childhood component comes up over and over again and that's the only way I could ever help anything be better. I'm a print journalist and these stories on film are what I've heard throughout my career but it really changed my heart to see people here in this format. We've had 10 babies here in the past two years, including two long term placements. If we can prevent suffering, it is worth doing to stop trauma.
My parents adopted me and are nearing the end of their life. There is no way to thank them enough. To foster or adopt is one of the greatest things a person can do in this world. Thanks
@markthebldr6834 I completely feel your perspective. Other people will never understand how grateful 🙏 we are to the people who gave us a better life. My parents are my heart, and I thank God each and every day that they gave me a great life, because without them I wouldn't have had it anywhere near the same.
That’s when you know, Johnny’s intentions are pure and not for clout. He has this huge following now and he’s still doing exactly and being the exact same person he was even before the fame. You’re inspiring Johnny ❤
Johnny is by far my most favorite success story of this channel. Happy he now has a third one out. These later update are great. And I agree with his dad as well on religion. So happy for him. He’s gonna help many lost souls.
I could sit here and listen to them two talk for hours and hours. I love how Johnny is able to get Mark talking so much. Two very aware insightful men.
I’ll never understand why people get upset at people like mark and johnny who make good money by doing what they do. They give so much back to the community and at the end of the day they are also people who have families to support, mortgage, bills. This channel changed my life and taught me empathy, forgiveness, and much more. Keep up the good work
I think the anger is justified but misguided. The world can be much better, but that can only be done collectively. Getting mad at people doing charity isn't the way but building a coalition to ensure people who aren't as fortunate get a shot at a better life.
Mark really respects and trusts Johnny. Great to see the mutual support and encouragement between them! It's not often Mark will engage so personally on a video. They may differ on beliefs but the core values Johnny preaches about can resonate with us all. Kindness, love, forgiveness and healing. Loved this update, thanks Johnny and Mark!
Mark, don't ever quit, I love your channel. Thank you for updating with johnny. I love that you updated with all the ppl you interviewed 🙌 ❤️ you are my idol! I wish I could be like you, I'm so curious about ppls lives. My parents sheltered me my whole childhood. I didn't understand why ppl became homeless, mean, jealous, emotional , and grateful. I was so scared to be an disobedient child that i kept myself ignorant to life. I have so much compassion for peoples feelings. I blocked a lot of care for ppl my whole childhood, so I didn't have to feel sorry for them. Now, I'm in my 40's. I love to hear about ppls life stories. I want to thank you again to have the courage to sit down with ppl and ask life questions. ❤❤❤
Johnny I’m in your Bible study but I’ve only attended a couple times this year. I just look at it like tithing. I found a church, my girl grew up Mormon is reading the Bible we’re getting her baptized soon. We share in the word daily. I grew up with gang squad hitting our house, started doing drugs at 13, boot camp, jail, heroin addict by 18. And it took me over a decade to quit putting a needle in my arm. One of my good friends was killed two weeks ago after stealing from the dope spot. Jesus has completely changed my heart and you’re a huge part of what lead me back Johnny. I appreciate you bro!!.
I thought I was a compassionate empathetic person. But Soft White Underbelly has made me even more so....as you understand on an even deeper level what other people go through and how it affects how they present themselves to the world & how they might interact with other people Thank you for all you do!
I was on SWU about a year ago. I was saved a couple of months ago. Johnny is the most inspirational person on this channel and I have to thank Mark for adding this type of content to his channel!
I really wish mark would do an update video with you. The transformation God makes in peoples lives is remarkable….. He takes out our heart of stone and gives us a heart of flesh, the scriptures say!!!! Praise the Lord!!!! If you are not a Christian…. Repent from your sins now and put your trust in what jesus accomplished on the cross. You were a terrible person heading for hell… and Christ paid your fine. He paid it all. Now get up and walk with him!!!!!
Glad to see him back!! Just because he speaks about religion doesn’t mean he shouldn’t have the opportunity to speak. Keeping the channel diverse is so important no matter what your opinions are
Johnny is one of my favorite people you interview. Each time I’m left with a feeling of peacefulness, gratitude and love. Thanks to both of you for all you do!
Living example of what’s possible ✨ I have savored the three Mr. Chang interviews. Keep up the great work guys. And yes, would love to see a convo about forgiveness
So great to see an update - I literally called out "Johnny!!!" when I saw who todays video was with. I'm not into organised relisgion either Mark, but I spend a lot of my life coaching people to be kind, it's so missing in thhis world these days. I see so much kindness in what both of you men do and it's so encouraging
Johnny your listening skills are so important and impressive. What you did in this interview with Mark was so important. You are needed in so many places in our society. Thank you for helping this society one step at a time!
His first video is one of the best videos on this channel. Johnny is such a great dude and taught me forgiveness even for people who did you wrong. Keep it up Johnny your voice is reaching a lot of people
Mark, thank you for giving Johnny to the world! There’s so many people who see your work as positive, impactful, and meaningful stories. It’s nice to hear more about your story and the reason you do the things you do. I have been a fan of yours for roughly 5 years and have watched most of your videos. Johnnys story was one of the best… and absolutely the most inspiring. I’m so happy for both of your successes.
Mark I have been here since the beginning! You and your channel helped me get my life back in order. I don't care what happens or what people say, you and your creation helped me save my own life so no matter what I believe you are a great person and do way more good than harm!!! Please don't let the B holes get to you!!!!!!!
Love the growth of you both, Mark. The forgiveness discussion w you and Johnny coming next is going to be healing hearts and giving hope to the largest audience yet. ❤️
Thank you Mark for your commentary in this one..Im glad you address the fact you know what is being said and what it stems from. I think people assume being square, your going in with blinders on. Thank you for the interview Johnny ❤
I can relate so much with Johnny’s story. Organized religion keeps you bound. A relationship with Jesus changes everything. While believing I had a life prescription to issues..Whether trauma, alcohol,drugs, etc. At my worst low with an attempt to take my own life a voice entered my room saying “ Chris you are trying to function in an image I did not create you for” Haven’t been the same since. The most liberating part of my journey of healing, forgiveness and freedom is realizing that I’m not here for myself. The key to living is dying and when you die, you learn to actually live. Bless ya Johnny! Big fan of your work Mark!
Been following SWU and I want to say I was one of the first to watch Johnny’s first video. You had just posted on YT and I clicked to watch. Johnny’s testimony was like my story as an Asian American growing up in the 90s and finding Jesus. Just want to thank both of you.
i was just telling on of the therapists at my job (residential MH treatment center, high acuity) about him and how i LOVE using his interviews for group and discussing the difficulties of addiction and the pathway to recovery and a better life. Johnny you have touched so many lives more than you can imagine !
Wish I could have shared Johnny’s story and guidance with my nephew. I feel that my nephew felt alone and ashamed. Unfortunately he lost his battle. So thankful for Johnny and so many others that share their stories. There are so many that need to hear this. God bless you!!!
Thank you Mark for dropping johnnys first video and having him come back. I’m catholic and I was a rebel when I was younger. Never cared for church bc i just thought “man what is a priest (who probably hasn’t even seen half my life) gonna know about me or want to talk to me about?” I saw Johnny a dude who looks familiar and immediately gets respect and is also respectful and I listened. Since that first video to know I’ve been saved for about a year. Everything in my life was coming to an end and Johnny was definitely a messenger. Thank you. 🙏🏽
I love Johnny!! Thank you for posting his video. One of my very favorites!! So happy to hear that he is sharing his story and affecting change in this crazy world 🙏💙
Beautiful testimony of resilience and self-learning to self-forgiveness and loving our own selves. Bravo, JChang for coming through in your journey in life, and helping others. God bless!
Johnny is incredible and so, so inspiring! I'm not religious, but his words just give me so much faith that there are still really good people in this world. Kudos to you, Johnny, and thank you for being you and sharing your story.
I loved this. And I loved hearing more about Mark. You're a good man. I hope this channel lasts forever, and please make sure you take mental breaks sometimes. Self care. And I pray you do lay your head down at night and continue to have peace throughout your life. Respect to you. God bless you ❤
johnny’s eyes since the first interview are almost heavenly now. i’ve been a genuine fan of johnny since i watched your first interview with him, since then i’m now a christian and my life’s improved tremendously. you choosing to upload that interview helped start a massive chain reaction that ended up changing so many lives. johnny is a legend now and soft white underbelly definitely helped him blossom into the flower he now is.
One thing I appreciate is the fact that Johnny and Mark respect each other and how the tables are turned when Johnny interviewing Mark. Great to see them together again! ❤
Mark is really such an amazing person these videos are so beautiful and so important for people to see. I remember finding his videos because my bf at the time had a fentanyl addiction and I wanted to truly understand more of what he was going through and feeling then I started using as well and they just gave me so much comfort and and just seeing how he can shed light on people’s stories, their childhoods, and how it has affected their lifestyles. He’s helped so many people with nothing in return. Not only with my own addiction but his videos have helped me have more empathy and understanding to people that I would’ve judged before along with gratitude for my own life. I love to see how he’s helped Johnny build his own platform, having Jake’s recovery uploaded, and everything he does on and off camera. Thank you Mark for your channel!
I watched his original interview and it’s amazing to see the change just in his face? So much light and softness, much love and respect to him for changing his life!
I love both of you guys. I know it's hard to stay away from the comments but I hope you do check them here and there because some of the people in your comment sections love you guys like me. Keep being amazing, keep killing it at what you do, don't let the jealous folks get to you. Thank you for being amazing!
✨In light of your conversation about positive and negative commenters I have to say that I love your common sense attitudes. I agree 100% with every point you made. ✨Thank you for saying that most of your SWU viewers are compassionate people. That was sweet! ✨I love your channel because you interview REAL people - no phonies. Our hearts discover a new person. We can love them, pray for them, & think about them. We don't know them in our regular days but we meet them here with you. ✨Mark and Johnny, May our Father in Heaven richly, gloriously, daily bless you each abundantly with safety, good health, a sound mind, and a peaceful heart.💚💛
Mark, your channel help me heal myself from addiction. I am a bit displaced, but working hard at a job daily so I can eventually make my way back home. Can't thank you enough.
@BVMMT a year and 2 months free of fentanyl. It was a walk through hell, but I came out the other side. Very lucky/ blessed I still have my sanity. For a minute I wasn't sure if I was suffering permanent damage, but after 9 months or so, I could tell I was back to my old self. I always watched Mark's videos and realized I was messing up. Glad to have avoided jail time. Getting off fentanyl CAN be done. I had a $200 habit reach up to $1000 a week. If I can do it, anyone can, when they hear that voice in their head say "what are you doing?". I realized it wasn't my voice. I have quite the story to tell how I became sober. Thanks
@@BVMMT That is what my mom said, and gave me the same verses to reference. No lie! It was a stern voice after saying it ...twice, the 2nd time m7ch more stern than the 1st..."WHAT ARE YOU DOING, PAUL?!?!?!?!" It broke me, I cried for hours and knew I had to make a change.
@@BVMMT I knew instantly it wasn't my normal inner voice but from somewhere else. And I do not have thoughts in my head other than my own inner dialog in my voice...until then.
Thank You Mark and love all my COTH and Soft White Family! 🫡🙏
Glory To God!
🙏🏿🙏🏿❤️❤️
You are one of my favorite testimonies ❤🎉
Keep shining ✨️
You’re a real one, Johnny. Much love, brother.
Jesus is King. Amen 🙌🏻

If only more people had this courage
wow bro Amen❤
His body language, voice, light in his eyes, smiling. Man im happy for Johnny. Hes on a great path.
You can tell Mark is super skeptical of religion, interesting to see him interact with someone who is engulfed in faith. The beauty of humanity.
Yes, Johnny! There is mutual respect there.
Also the biggest divider of ppl

@@MSR.00 Yes...but really human nature is the culpret. My uncle is the most devisive person that I know and is an atheist.
I just pulled up Johnny's interview from last year. What a difference! This man is polished and confident. 😊
Jesus said at Matthew Chapter 10 verses 8 and 9 you were given free you must give free. Not to collect gold and silver for helping and teaching about God and Jesus
aye, we need more hopeful videos like these

I loved this. And I loved hearing more about Mark. You're a good man. I hope this channel lasts forever, and please make sure you take mental breaks sometimes. Self care. And I pray you do lay your head down at night and continue to have peace throughout your life. Respect to you. God bless you ❤
johnny’s eyes since the first interview are almost heavenly now. i’ve been a genuine fan of johnny since i watched your first interview with him, since then i’m now a christian and my life’s improved tremendously. you choosing to upload that interview helped start a massive chain reaction that ended up changing so many lives. johnny is a legend now and soft white underbelly definitely helped him blossom into the flower he now is.
So great to see a young man turn his life around and flourish. Keep it going Johnny .god bless.
One thing I appreciate is the fact that Johnny and Mark respect each other and how the tables are turned when Johnny interviewing Mark. Great to see them together again! ❤
Johnny, I don't know you and you don't know me but I'm proud of you. Keep up the great work!! 👍
One of my favorite interviews! So happy for Johnny and all the people he has helped .
This was beautiful and very profound and something I needed to sit down and really listen to. Thanks guys ❤
Johnny is straight up AWESOME!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a feather light soul he has now, you can just feel the lightness of his spirit now. This is so amazing 👏
Mark is really such an amazing person these videos are so beautiful and so important for people to see. I remember finding his videos because my bf at the time had a fentanyl addiction and I wanted to truly understand more of what he was going through and feeling then I started using as well and they just gave me so much comfort and and just seeing how he can shed light on people’s stories, their childhoods, and how it has affected their lifestyles. He’s helped so many people with nothing in return. Not only with my own addiction but his videos have helped me have more empathy and understanding to people that I would’ve judged before along with gratitude for my own life. I love to see how he’s helped Johnny build
his own platform, having Jake’s recovery uploaded, and everything he does on and off camera. Thank you Mark for your channel!
That's a very beautiful portrait of Johnny
Good stuff. You can tell how appreciative Johnny is that you discovered him.
I watched his original interview and it’s amazing to see the change just in his face? So much light and softness, much love and respect to him for changing his life!
I love both of you guys. I know it's hard to stay away from the comments but I hope you do check them here and there because some of the people in your comment sections love you guys like me.
Keep being amazing, keep killing it at what you do, don't let the jealous folks get to you.
Thank you for being amazing!
✨In light of your conversation about positive and negative commenters I have to say that I love your common sense attitudes. I agree 100% with every point you made.
✨Thank you for saying that most of your SWU viewers are compassionate people. That was sweet!
✨I love your channel because you interview REAL people - no phonies. Our hearts discover a new person. We can love them, pray for them, & think about them. We don't know them in our regular days but we meet them here with you.
✨Mark and Johnny, May our Father in Heaven richly, gloriously, daily bless you each abundantly with safety, good health, a sound mind, and a peaceful heart.💚💛
The synergy..the banter between Johnny and Mark is awesome! Keep up the powerful process!!
man i can remember 2-3 years ago when this channel was new and there was just a few videos... look at it now DAMN almost 6 million subscribers...
Those tattoos are a part of your testimony Johnny!
Yes!!! Makes ppl in the secular world relate more
God don’t care about tattoos he cares abour your soul!
Thank you, Mark your videos have had a profound impact on my life and I’m sure many others who watch them.
Mark, your channel help me heal myself from addiction. I am a bit displaced, but working hard at a job daily so I can eventually make my way back home. Can't thank you enough.
@BVMMT a year and 2 months free of fentanyl. It was a walk through hell, but I came out the other side. Very lucky/ blessed I still have my sanity. For a minute I wasn't sure if I was suffering permanent damage, but after 9 months or so, I could tell I was back to my old self. I always watched Mark's videos and realized I was messing up. Glad to have avoided jail time. Getting off fentanyl CAN be done. I had a $200 habit reach up to $1000 a week. If I can do it, anyone can, when they hear that voice in their head say "what are you doing?". I realized it wasn't my voice. I have quite the story to tell how I became sober. Thanks
@@BVMMT That is what my mom said, and gave me the same verses to reference. No lie! It was a stern voice after saying it ...twice, the 2nd time m7ch more stern than the 1st..."WHAT ARE YOU DOING, PAUL?!?!?!?!" It broke me, I cried for hours and knew I had to make a change.
@@BVMMT I knew instantly it wasn't my normal inner voice but from somewhere else. And I do not have thoughts in my head other than my own inner dialog in my voice...until then.
