In Episode 93 of the Jesus People Podcast, Ryan Miller sits down with Lysa TerKeurst for a powerful conversation about fear, anxiety, control, trauma, and learning to trust God with what we cannot control.

Lysa shares the deeply personal story behind her new book, *Making Peace with What I Can't Control*, including the heartbreak, betrayal, anxiety, and healing that taught her the difference between healthy responsibility and fear-driven control.

Together, Ryan and Lysa explore why control can become a coping mechanism, how past experiences shape the way we interpret fear, and what it looks like to surrender outcomes to God while still taking responsibility for what is actually within our control.

[Making Peace with What I Can't Control by Lysa TerKeurst](https://a.co/d/06pYz9v9)

Key Highlights:

• Why control is often fear disguised as strength

• The difference between healthy responsibility and controlling outcomes

• How anxiety, trauma, and past experiences shape our perception

• The four components of fear: alarm, memory, perception, and response

• How to respond to fear instead of reacting from fear

• Why good seasons can sometimes trigger anxiety after prolonged hardship

• Learning to trust God when you cannot control the outcome

• Journaling toward reality and identifying what is actually within your control

• How Scripture can reshape the stories we tell ourselves

• The importance of healthy Christian community and honest discipleship

• How leaders can acknowledge their own struggles while continuing to grow

• Surrendering what we cannot control while faithfully managing what we can

If you've been struggling with anxiety, overthinking, fear of the future, control, trauma, or the pressure to hold everything together, this conversation will challenge you to release what belongs to God and faithfully steward what He has actually placed in your hands.

What happens when a devout Muslim begins studying the Quran alongside the Bible and discovers questions he can no longer ignore?

In Episode 92 of The Jesus People Podcast, Ryan Miller sits down with Shahriq Khan, a former Muslim who came to faith in Jesus after years of wrestling with Islam, apologetics, Scripture, depression, family rejection, and questions about truth.

Shahriq shares the deeply personal story of how Christ met him during one of the darkest moments of his life, how leaving Islam cost him relationships and opportunities, and why he eventually became passionate about helping Christians understand Islam and reach Muslims with the Gospel.

The conversation also dives into Shahriq's "Master Key," the biblical and apologetic framework he uses to compare the Quran with the Torah and examine Islamic claims about Scripture, Jesus, the crucifixion, Adam and Eve, Joseph, Moses, the Passover, and more.

Key Highlights:

Shahriq also shares the story behind Christ Underground, a free online community designed to equip Christians to reach Muslim friends and family through biblical apologetics, discipleship, and evangelism.

In Episode 91 of The Jesus People Podcast, Ryan Miller sits down with Nik Kiswani to hear his incredible journey from Hinduism, atheism, Hollywood, music, and addiction to faith in Jesus Christ.

Nik shares how growing up Hindu shaped his worldview, how success and influence in Hollywood left him searching for something deeper, and how his experiences in the music industry led him to investigate spiritual darkness, Satanism, and the supernatural.

What started as a search for truth eventually led Nik to the Bible, where he began exploring Jesus, Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and the reality of spiritual warfare. He shares the powerful moment he surrendered his life to Christ and how God began transforming his desires, habits, language, and identity.

This conversation also dives into pornography addiction, dopamine, spiritual warfare, the culture of Hollywood, artificial intelligence, transhumanism, the end times, the Mark of the Beast, and what it means to remain spiritually awake in a rapidly changing world.

Key Highlights:

Whatever season you are in, this episode is ultimately a reminder that no amount of success, pleasure, influence, or worldly achievement can replace Jesus Christ.

Addison Bevere: How to Hear God, Pray & Break Your Phone Habit | Jesus People Podcast E90

Get Addison Bevere’s Words with God:

https://books.thejesuspeoplemovement.com/ 

In this powerful episode, Ryan Miller sits down with Addison Bevere to explore prayer, hearing God, spiritual sensitivity, and the surprising way our relationship with our phones can shape how we begin our day.

Addison challenges the way many Christians think about prayer. Instead of treating prayer as a religious task or transaction, what if prayer is simply learning to live with God, listen to Him, and respond to what He is doing?

The conversation goes deep into morning rhythms, silence, surrender, shame, spiritual formation, sleep, and the role of our attention in an increasingly distracted world.

From the moment you wake up to the way you engage your phone, Addison offers a radically simple invitation: stop grasping for control and learn to be grasped by God.

Key Highlights:

If you've ever struggled with prayer, felt guilty for not having a "perfect" quiet time, or wondered how to hear God's voice more clearly, this conversation will challenge the way you think about your relationship with God.

The goal isn't to perform prayer better.

It's to learn how to walk with God.

Jenny also shares from her personal journey out of witchcraft and into freedom in Christ, drawing from years of experience in deliverance ministry and her book, The Witch and the Lamb.

The conversation also explores the importance of discernment, emotional healing, healthy boundaries, evangelism, forgiveness, and learning to distinguish biblical truth from fear, speculation, and spiritual confusion.

📖 Russell Brand's book: How to Become a Christian in Seven Days

https://www.amazon.com/How-Become-Christian-Seven-Days/dp/B0GTW7RP17

Sponsor a child through Compassion International: http://compassion.com/dudewithgoodnews 

In this powerful episode of The Jesus People Podcast, Ryan sits down with Russell Brand for a raw and deeply spiritual conversation about fame, addiction, sex, identity, surrender, and finding true intimacy with Jesus Christ.

Russell opens up about what happened after experiencing the things many people spend their lives chasing: fame, money, sex, recognition, success, and influence. He shares how those things ultimately failed to satisfy the deeper hunger within him and how his journey through addiction, recovery, and spiritual awakening led him toward Jesus.

This conversation goes far beyond an intellectual discussion about Christianity. Russell describes what he calls a "cracking open," the surrender of his old identity, and the realization that he could not fill a spiritual emptiness through drugs, relationships, sex, achievement, or the approval of others.

Together, Ryan and Russell explore what it means to die to self, surrender completely to Christ, discover identity in Him, and recognize the difference between worldly success and true spiritual fulfillment.

Russell also discusses his book, How to Become a Christian in Seven Days, and shares the message he would give if he had only one final opportunity to speak to his children, family, and brothers and sisters in Christ.

Key Highlights:

If you have ever achieved something you thought would finally make you happy, only to discover that you still felt empty, this conversation is worth hearing.

There is nothing the world can give that can replace what only Christ can provide.

As Russell says, the answer is not simply to intellectually believe in Jesus. It is to follow Him, surrender to Him, and continually turn back to Him.

Phil Wickham: Worship, Surrender & Abundant Life | The Jesus People Podcast E87

Get Phil Wickham’s Everyday Hallelujah:

https://everydayhallelujah.com 

In this powerful episode of The Jesus People Podcast, Ryan Miller sits down with Grammy-nominated worship leader and songwriter Phil Wickham for an honest conversation about worship, songwriting, surrender, spiritual freedom, and what it really means to make Jesus the Lord of your whole life.

Phil shares the stories and spiritual lessons behind songs like “Living Hope,” “This Is Amazing Grace,” and his Psalm 23 adaptation, revealing how Scripture, prayer, intimacy with God, and a relentless pursuit of truth shape the songs he writes.

He also opens up about how God called him into worship leading, the tension between pursuing music and pursuing ministry, dealing with praise and recognition, protecting his family from the pressures of Christian celebrity, and learning to see every person in the crowd as someone Jesus deeply loves.

One of the most powerful moments comes when Phil talks about asking Jesus to be the Lord of his entire life. He shares how surrendering hidden strongholds, false beliefs, addictions, insecurity, and the need for approval opened the door to a deeper experience of freedom and abundant life in Christ.

Phil also explains why worship is far more than singing on a stage. Worship can become a daily posture of surrender, gratitude, obedience, prayer, and knowing God more deeply.

Phil’s new book, Everyday Hallelujah: Unlocking Deep Joy Through Everyday Acts of Worship, expands on this same message, challenging us to see worship not simply as something we sing, but as a way of life.

Key Highlights:

If you are wrestling with sin, fear, addiction, lust, pornography, insecurity, or spiritual stagnation, you do not have to walk alone. Trusted Christian coaches can help you work through these struggles with Scripture, prayer, and practical steps toward freedom and purpose.
