Why We Are Cain Not Abel | Main Stage #16

watch the full main stage here:

In this MainStage, Johnny teaches that our biggest barrier to faith is believing we’re “good.” Through Cain and Abel, prison encounters, and scripture, he shows that pride deafens us to God’s word, while true surrender means admitting we know nothing and trusting only in Christ.

Johnny & the COTH team

'Faith On Death Row’ (Full documentary) is OUT NOW on YouTube

'Faith On Death Row' is out now!

God always gives second chances to those who call on Him.

A few months ago, I was given the rare opportunity to bring cameras into the Polunsky Unit — a death row prison in Livingston, Texas.

When I was behind bars, my experience was violent and traumatic. I didn’t know what to expect going back in.

All I could pray for was that God would open the hearts of the inmates to hear the Gospel that changed my life.

What I witnessed inside blew me away: healing, remorse, revival, and real-life salvation. The faith-based work happening inside these walls is something the world rarely sees.

This documentary captures it all:

Sermons from me inside the prison.
Raw conversations with the inmates

Moments of confession, conviction, and hope.

Many inmates feel forgotten but God never forgets. He always has a plan for those willing to hear His voice.

- Johnny Chang
