Inner City Struggle to Transform South Central LA - Reverend Alfreddie Johnson | DDN Ep 19
From preventing a potential gang war in Los Angeles to bridging faith, education, and community action, this episode of the Don’t Do Nothing Podcast features Rev. Alfreddie Johnson, a lifelong Christian Baptist minister and Scientologist who has spent decades working on the front lines of urban transformation. Rev. Alfreddie Johnson shares how education, communication, and practical tools were used to de-escalate tensions between rival groups and stop violence before it exploded. He explains why real change doesn’t come from force or politics, but from giving people understanding, dignity, and solutions they can actually apply in their daily lives. In this conversation, Rev. Alfreddie Johnson also opens up about how Scientology strengthened his Christian faith, helped him become a more effective minister, and gave him tools to better serve families, youth, and entire communities. Rather than replacing belief, he explains how applied spiritual knowledge helped him live his values more fully and work across cultural and religious lines. Through his work with the World Literacy Crusade, Rev. Alfreddie Johnson has helped bring practical education and literacy programs into some of the most underserved communities in the world. By teaching people how to truly understand what they read, communicate effectively, and apply knowledge in real life, the organization addresses the root causes of poverty, crime, and violence. World Literacy Crusade’s approach focuses on empowerment, giving individuals the tools to succeed in school, work, and leadership while creating lasting change at the community level. Whether you’re drawn to the story of preventing street violence, curious about how education changes behavior, or interested in how Scientology and Christianity can work together in real life, this episode delivers powerful insight from someone who has done the work where it matters most.
