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:

Why your first moments in the morning matter

Prayer as relationship rather than religious performance

How shame can interfere with intimacy with God

Delta, theta, and alpha brain states and spiritual sensitivity

Why Addison recommends not touching your phone first thing in the morning

The connection between attention, anxiety, and what we focus on

How the phone can become a source of constant distraction and control

Learning to listen to God instead of constantly trying to speak

How to turn your concerns into prayers

Why surrender is essential to hearing and responding to God

What to do when you wake up anxious in the middle of the night

Seeing sleep as an opportunity to surrender and trust God

Practical ways to create a healthier, more intentional morning with God

Moving from transactional prayer to authentic connection with God

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 Joy returns to The Jesus People Podcast for a deep conversation about deliverance ministry, spiritual warfare, demonology, witchcraft, unforgiveness, spiritual oppression, and what the Bible actually says about these topics.

In Episode 85, Ryan Miller and Jenny Joy go straight into the questions many Christians are asking: Can Christians experience demonic oppression? What are spiritual "open doors"? How does unforgiveness affect our spiritual lives? What does the Bible say about deliverance, soul ties, generational curses, familiar spirits, Jezebel, and spiritual warfare?

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.

Key Highlights:
• What the Bible says about deliverance and spiritual warfare
• Demonic oppression vs. ordinary struggles with sin
• Unforgiveness, offense, and spiritual bondage
• How forgiveness can bring freedom without requiring reconciliation
• Soul ties and what Scripture says about becoming "one flesh"
• Witchcraft, the occult, and spiritual deception
• Familiar spirits and generational patterns
• Understanding the Jezebel spirit
• How trauma, abuse, addiction, and spiritual struggles can intersect
• Taking thoughts captive without denying real emotions
• The importance of therapy, healing, prayer, Scripture, and Christian community
• How Christians can evangelize people who disagree with biblical Christianity
• Discernment and recognizing deception
• Why spiritual warfare requires wisdom and strategy
• How to approach deliverance with humility, biblical discernment, and dependence on Jesus

This conversation is ultimately about one thing: freedom in Christ.
If you are wrestling with sin, fear, addiction, pornography, spiritual oppression, or simply trying to understand what biblical deliverance looks like, you do not have to walk alone. Trusted Christian coaches can help you pursue freedom through Scripture, prayer, practical steps, and Christ-centered guidance.

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

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.

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.

Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools: https://www.tylerstaton.com/books

In Episode 86 of the Jesus People Podcast, Ryan Miller sits down with pastor and bestselling author Tyler Staton for one of the most freeing conversations you'll hear on prayer.

Many Christians secretly wonder:
Am I praying the right way? Does God actually hear me? Am I doing enough?

Drawing from his own battle with cancer, Tyler also shares how suffering transformed his prayer life, teaching him to listen more than he speaks and discover God's presence in silence.

If you've ever struggled with prayer, comparison, spiritual performance, or feeling distant from God, this conversation will encourage you to approach your Heavenly Father with confidence and freedom.

Key Highlights:

Why there is no "perfect" way to pray

 How God delights in His children

Different spiritual pathways of prayer

Performance vs relationship with God

Learning to listen before speaking

What cancer taught Tyler about intimacy with God

Silent prayer and spiritual formation

How to grow deeper in your communion with Jesus

Why comparison quietly destroys your prayer life

Practical ways to build a healthy prayer rhythm

If you've ever wondered why prayer feels difficult, dry, or confusing, this episode will completely reshape how you approach God.
