   Number 1: The Moment I Stopped Fighting God and Surrendered | Phil Wickham - The Jesus People Podcast Episode 87

   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: How Phil Wickham writes worship songs and finds “prism-shifting” moments in Scripture The real story behind writing Psalm 23 How “Living Hope” developed over months of songwriting Why Scripture became foundational to Phil’s songwriting How the Holy Spirit transformed worship from something he knew into Someone he could know The story of how God called Phil Wickham into worship leading The unexpected moment that changed the direction of his music career How Phil handles praise, recognition, and the temptation of Christian celebrity Protecting his family from entitlement and the pressures of ministry Why surrendering to Jesus actually leads to greater freedom Breaking free from insecurity, strongholds, false beliefs, and the need for approval What it means to confess that “Jesus is Lord” over your whole life Worship as a daily lifestyle, not simply something we do at church The connection between worship, spiritual freedom, joy, and abundant life The heart behind Phil Wickham’s book Everyday Hallelujah 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.

   Number 2: I Got Everything I Wanted. Fame Still Couldn't Save Me | Russell Brand | Jesus People Podcast Episode 88

   📖 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: Russell Brand's journey from fame, sex, money, and celebrity to Jesus Addiction, recovery, pornography, drugs, and the search for fulfillment Why worldly success cannot satisfy spiritual hunger The difference between worshiping yourself and surrendering to Christ Identity, surrender, and what it means to die to self Russell's powerful "cracking open" encounter with Christ The importance of intimacy and abiding in Jesus Why Jesus must become greater while we become less The danger of seeking personal glory, approval, and recognition Russell Brand's perspective on Christianity and following Jesus Finding God in silence, prayer, surrender, and the present moment A powerful closing message and prayer for anyone seeking Jesus 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.

We unpack demonology without glorifying darkness: how “open doors” (occult, trauma, unforgiveness, fear, sexual sin) invite oppression, why deliverance + discipleship must go together, and how to walk in authority in Jesus at home, anointing your house, covering your family, and renewing your mind after freedom. Jenny also explains spirit spouse/incubus–succubus, practical self-deliverance steps (repentance, breaking agreements, prayer & fasting), and the role of forgiveness, including forgiving yourself, in lasting transformation. If you’re wrestling with anxiety, night torment, sexual strongholds, or confusion about the spirit realm, this conversation will help you trade fear for faith and torment for peace. Key Highlights: From witchcraft, abuse, and self-harm to a clear, “unmuffled” walk with God Open Doors 101: trauma, occult, fear, unforgiveness, sexual sin, generational patterns Deliverance + Discipleship: sweep the house, then fill it (Word, worship, community) Authority at Home: husbands as spiritual covering; parents training kids to rebuke fear Spirit Spouse explained, signs, dreams, and how to break agreements in Jesus’ name When freedom requires prayer & fasting (Mark 9:29) and ongoing mind renewal A balanced view: mental health care and spiritual warfare aren’t enemies If you (or someone you love) feel stuck in cycles of fear, lust, confusion, or oppression, Jenny’s testimony and practical tools point to the freedom and authority available in Jesus.
