| Why We Are Cain Not Abel | Main Stage #16 | 03 Oct 2025 | 01:38:44 | |
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.
