Name: George Janko Gets Brutally Honest With Lecrae on Christianity, Cussing, and Weed
Uploaded: 2025-05-29T03:18:08.000Z

From Vine skits and Impaulsive mayhem to a fresh life in Christ, comedian George Janko opens up to Lecrae about the entire journey. He revisits the whirlwind years learning from YouTube’s golden boys—and the moment he knew it was time to step away and pursue God’s call on his own terms .

George explains why topping YouTube charts still left him empty, how flipping burgers once gave him more peace than Hollywood fame, and why true success means “not throwing away your soul for the gift God gave you.”

He also shares:

<ul>
<li>Being ridiculed for his faith on set—and why he now sees persecution as part of walking with Jesus</li>
<li>His battle with cussing and smoking weed</li>
<li>Newly-married life, launching the “Man on Water” stand-up tour, and learning to keep his eyes on Christ in every storm.</li>
<li>How he stays accountable while millions are watching and why he views himself as a “baby christian”</li>
</ul>

If you’ve ever chased a dream only to find it can’t fill the void—or wondered how to keep your faith while the spotlight’s on—this conversation is for you.

George Janko Gets Brutally Honest With Lecrae on Christianity, Cussing, and Weed

This is the B-Side of culture, conversation, & chaos.

Erwin McManus has been called a heretic, a cultural architect, and one of the most misunderstood pastors in America. In this raw and unfiltered conversation with Lecrae, Erwin shares his story—from immigrating from El Salvador and growing up in a broken home, to searching through philosophy and world religions, to finally encountering Jesus in a way that changed everything.

They dive into the tension of being an outsider in the church, why Erwin believes Christianity must reclaim its creativity and imagination, and how his “Seven Frequencies” framework reveals the way people truly communicate. Erwin also opens up about death threats that pushed him out of publishing for years, the immigrant realities shaping his perspective on politics, and why today’s heresy often becomes tomorrow’s orthodoxy.

This episode is about nuance, faith, culture, and what it means to pioneer a new way of following Jesus in a world of conformity.

The Pastor Christianity Wasn’t Ready For - Erwin Raphael McManus

Ross Johnston’s story is anything but ordinary. Conceived through artificial insemination and raised by two moms, Ross grew up far from church and never expected to follow Jesus. But at 15, one simple invitation changed everything.

In this conversation with Lecrae, Ross opens up about navigating faith, identity, and family tension—while still loving and honoring his mom. They discuss the cultural shift in the LGBTQ community, the biblical call to truth and love, and what it means to find your identity in Christ alone.

From street preaching in Hollywood to leading revivals nationwide, Ross shares powerful testimonies of transformation and freedom, and why he believes the presence of God—not just arguments—changes lives.

If you’ve wrestled with how to love people well without compromising your convictions, this conversation is a must-watch.

📍 Topics include:

– Growing up with two moms &amp; coming to faith

– The shift in LGBTQ activism over the years

– Balancing truth and love in hard conversations

– Why the presence of God matters more than persuasion

– Testimonies from the streets and revival events
