Carl reflects on accountability, the consequences of his choices, and what it takes to become a man who consistently chooses honesty and faithfulness.

**My New Book: Meek as a Mustang**

In this powerful episode of The Jesus People Podcast, Ryan Miller sits down with Victor Marx, humanitarian, ministry leader, and gubernatorial candidate, for an extraordinary conversation about childhood trauma, faith, spiritual warfare, Christian humanitarian work, and standing against darkness.

What happens when the very people who were supposed to protect you become the source of your deepest wounds? How do you overcome the lies of trauma and refuse to let your past define your future? And what does it actually cost to bring the light of Christ into some of the darkest places in the world?

Victor shares his remarkable journey from a childhood marked by abuse, instability, and rejection to serving in the Marine Corps, conducting high-risk humanitarian missions, rescuing women from ISIS captivity, and confronting corruption and spiritual strongholds.

He also opens up about his friendship with Charlie Kirk, the spiritual battle surrounding American culture and politics, and why Christians cannot afford to remain silent when truth, freedom, and human dignity are at stake.

**Dr. Stella's Website:** (use promo code JPP)

In this powerful return to The Jesus People Podcast, Dr. Stella Immanuel joins Ryan Miller for a challenging conversation about spiritual warfare, repentance, deliverance, and the hidden patterns that can keep Christians trapped in destructive cycles.

What if the habits you have normalized are keeping you from spiritual growth? What is the difference between sin, transgression, and iniquity? And how can believers pursue holiness, discernment, and a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ?

Dr. Stella shares her perspective on breaking unhealthy patterns, confronting compromise, renewing the mind through God's Word, and preparing for the calling God has placed on your life.

Riaan shares his perspective on recognizing spiritual attacks, dealing with hidden sin and compromise, resisting temptation, and developing biblical discernment in a world increasingly shaped by technology, AI, online gaming, and digital influence.

This conversation also addresses pornography, fear, protecting children online, spiritual warfare in the family, and the importance of knowing Scripture so believers can recognize deception and stand firmly on the truth of God's Word.

Most importantly, this episode points beyond the darkness to Jesus. Christians are not called to live in fear of the enemy. We are called to know Christ, walk in repentance, stand in His victory, and become people who carry His love into a broken world.

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.

Get Lysa TerKeurst's *Making Peace with What I Can't Control*:

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

• 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

• The importance of healthy Christian community and honest discipleship

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:

Start your reset and get The Gratitude Reset book: 

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.

For Christian life coaching rooted in identity in Christ:

If you are wrestling with sin, fear, addiction, pornography, spiritual stagnation, or other areas where you need support, you do not have to walk alone. Trusted coaches can help you walk through these struggles with Scripture, prayer, and practical steps toward freedom and purpose.
