Unlearned Wisdom by Johnny Chang

Welcome to Unlearned Wisdom! A gospel-centered podcast by me, Johnny Chang. Every episode is a special lesson that I have learned through God, my pastors, and my personal life experiences.

75-Year-Old Felon Meets His 50-Year-Old Son | #075 | Unlearned Wisdom 08/17/2026

75-Year-Old Felon Meets His 50-Year-Old Son | #075 | Unlearned Wisdom 📲 Make God a daily habit in your life: https://onelink.to/cothdailyapp?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video-description&utm_campaign=evergreen&utm_term=na&utm_content=unlearned-wisdom *Try Shopify Now at https://www.shopify.com/unlearnedwisdom* I sat down with Jake Bodine, who has spent the last 17 years leading a ministry called God Behind Bars. He told me about the time he sat down with a gang leader in a Texas prison who was ready to renounce everything, even knowing it could put his life at risk. He shared the story of watching a 75-year-old father meet his 50-year-old son for the first time. He also opened up about a moment where he judged a man in his own Bible study before God asked him a hard question about grace. This is a conversation about redemption, and about believing that no one is ever too far gone.
