Core of the Heart

Core of the Heart is a global Christian community led by Minister Johnny Chang - a man whose life story could only be written by God.

Minister Johnny spent over 13+ years in the prison system, entering at just 12 years old. After his release, he was prepared to die in the streets until he experienced a rare and undeniable encounter with God - a moment that changed everything.

With no desire for recognition, Johnny began his spiritual journey, sharing the gospel in hospitals, prisons, recovery centers and anywhere people would listen. For 10 years, he poured out the Gospel quietly, faithfully.

Then his interview on a YouTube channel called, Soft White Underbelly, went viral. Millions were moved by his life story. What they saw wasn’t a man promoting religion. They saw a man carrying the Gospel with the scares to prove it. From that moment, the Core of the Heart movement began.

We are now a growing community of over 4 million+ people who are tired of the lies this world sells: that peace comes from doing more "work", that healing is a solo mission, that God is distant.

We believe the Gospel is real. That you were never meant to carry your pain alone.

Through our platform, you’ll learn how to truly understand the Bible, walk with God daily, and experience the kind of peace this world can’t manufacture.

Our program includes Bible class, live events, tons of online content, prison ministry, podcasting, and more.

Core of the Heart exists to help you gain a deeper understanding of the Bible & get closer with God, to unlock true peace and happiness.

Live the life that God wants you to 🕊️
