Jesus People Podcast

On this Highway 1 “Road Trip Edition,” Dylan Mandel, recently re-diagnosed with cancer for the fourth time, opens up about expecting a miracle, living from the quiet place with Jesus, and walking in spiritual authority. From cliff jumps and steaks-for-breakfast to late-night intercession on a plane, Dylan shares why a scan won’t define his identity or dilute his faith.  We unpack Ephesians 3:20 (“far more abundantly”), the Centurion’s faith that made Jesus marvel, renewing the mind (Romans 12:2), and what real masculinity looks like: surrendered prayer when no one’s watching. If you’re battling fear, uncertainty, or illness, this conversation points you back to intimacy with God, surrendered timing, and bold, expectant prayer. Key Highlights: Fourth cancer diagnosis, and choosing faith over fear in real time “This year is Mine”: intimacy with Jesus as the source of all fruit When scans and faith collide: renewing the mind (Romans 12:2) Spiritual warfare & identity: fighting back with the Word Kingdom authority: living on offense (Matthew 28:18–20) Ephesians 3:20 hope: God is able to do more than we ask or imagine Masculinity redefined: prayer > performance (airplane intercession story) A prayer for listeners: unity, healing, and surrendered timing Support the persecuted church: Global Christian Relief (aid, Bibles, shelter). **Global Christian Relief empowers persecuted Christians in some of the world’s most dangerous places. Think Iraq, Pakistan, and Afghanistan by delivering life-saving aid and faith-building support. Through emergency relief, Bible and discipleship resources, safe shelter, and vocational training, GCR equips believers to remain steadfast, grow in faith, and become beacons of hope in their communities.**    Learn more about Global Christian Relief in the link below:   https://give.globalchristianrelief.org/campaign/688704/donate   #globalchristianrelief  #gcr #GlobalChristianReliefpartner #gcrpartner #PrayForThePersecuted #StandWithThePersecuted For Christian life-coaching rooted in identity in Christ, where trusted coaches guide you through thought-reframing, scripture, prayer, and small steps of growth to bring lasting healing and purpose, visit Share the Struggle at;   https://www.sharethestruggle.org/ Follow & stay connected: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryan_miller/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dudewithgoodnews Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dudewithgoodnews/ Website: https://www.sharethestruggle.org/ Email: ryan@sharethestruggle.org Listen on your favorite platform: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0RLKmkUpydJr2y84tqQekp?si=8768039f3f5f4e38 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jesus-people-podcast/id1768632876 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/dac27441-bed6-4d73-9246-d2dbe93dccf0/jesus-people-podcast #JesusPeoplePodcast #DylanMandel #CancerTestimony #Ephesians320 #CenturionFaith #IntimacyWithGod #SpiritualAuthority #SurrenderedTiming #Miracle #FaithInTheFire #HealingJourney #PrayerChangesThings

Jonathan Pokluda, Lead Pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church and evangelist, shares insights from his unique ministry in hospital settings.

The conversation ends with a powerful, corporate prayer. Key Highlights: Why spiritual warfare seems to be intensifying,and what it means that God “raises a standard.” Halloween in occult practice (guest perspective) and how to pray over your neighborhood/“territory.” Yoga’s roots and why certain practices may open spiritual doors,plus safer alternatives. Abortion discussed as spiritual rebellion and blood sacrifice (guest testimony/perspective). Curses vs. the blood of Jesus: why covenant and righteous standing matter more than fear. How to close doors fast: repentance, authority, and practical prayer covering for families & leaders.

In this moving episode of The Jesus People Podcast, Jamie Carrington shares how living with SMA (spinal muscular atrophy) formed a life of radical dependence on people and on Jesus, and why that dependence is the very heart of biblical masculinity.   We dive into meekness vs. weakness, freedom from pornography, anxiety and contentment in a metrics-driven culture, the gift of singleness and obedience, and a father’s sacrificial love that redefines “provider.” Jamie’s story is a powerful reminder that God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness.     Key Highlights: - Debunking culture’s myths about manhood; why meekness = strength under God’s control - SMA testimony: learning daily dependence and finding God’s presence in vulnerability - Porn recovery: fasting, Psalm 23, accountability, and why the urge doesn’t just “vanish” - Social media pressures: comparison, views, and Ryan’s 2 daily success metrics (seek first + serve the least) - Singleness, obedience, and contentment when outcomes don’t look like the “movie ending” - Sacrificial fatherhood: a countercultural picture of provision, love, and leadership - Anxiety → trust: practicing dependence on God in big moves and small moments If you’re wrestling with identity, masculinity, addiction, anxiety, or loneliness, Jamie’s testimony points to real hope in Jesus, power in weakness, joy in dependence, and purpose in serving others.   Don’t forget to subscribe for more stories of transformation and practical discipleship on The Jesus People Podcast!

Neeza Powers, a former transgender individual now devoted Christian, shares her transformative journey after encountering Jesus. She discusses how her 95 days with Christ reshaped her identity and purpose. Neeza emphasizes the importance of boldness combined with kindness in engaging the trans community, offering insights on how churches can love without compromising truth. The conversation also highlights forgiveness as the key to revival and how to address public reactions with compassion and understanding.

In this urgent message, we respond to the Sept 10, 2025 shooting death of Charlie Kirk (31) at Utah Valley University, calling believers to reject vengeance and follow Jesus’ blueprint for moments of persecution. Scripture reminds us our battle isn’t against people but against spiritual darkness (Eph 6:12). From Acts 14:19–22—where Paul is stoned, stands again, and returns to preach—we outline four biblical responses: move in love, reject fear and choose boldness, tell the truth without watering it down, and bless your enemies.     Key Highlights: Why people aren’t the enemy: principalities and powers (Eph 6:12) Love as warfare: “Father, forgive them” in practice (Luke 23:34; Matt 5:44) Boldness over fear: perfect love drives out fear (1 Jn 4:18; Acts 4:29–31) Truth without compromise: speak plainly, resist watering it down (2 Tim 4:2; Eph 4:15) Bless, don’t avenge: leave vengeance to God; uproot bitterness (Rom 12:17–21) How persecution fuels revival and why forgiveness frees your soul Scripture References: Ephesians 6:12 • Acts 14:19–22 • Luke 23:34 • Matthew 5:10–12, 5:44 • 1 John 4:18 • Acts 4:29–31 • Romans 12:17–21 • Ephesians 4:15 • 2 Timothy 4:2   If you’re grieving, angry, or afraid, this episode will help you pivot from retaliation to redemption—to love boldly, stand firm, and carry the gospel forward.   Follow & Stay Connected: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryan_miller/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dudewithgoodnews Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dudewithgoodnews/ Website: https://www.sharethestruggle.org/ Email: ryan@sharethestruggle.org   Listen on Your Favorite Platform: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0RLKmkUpydJr2y84tqQekp?si=8768039f3f5f4e38 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jesus-people-podcast/id1768632876 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/dac27441-bed6-4d73-9246-d2dbe93dccf0/jesus-people-podcast               #JesusPeoplePodcast #SpiritualWarfare #LoveYourEnemies #BoldFaith #TruthInLove #Forgiveness #Ephesians612 #Acts14 #EndTimes #ChristianResponse #Revival

In this powerful episode of The Jesus People Podcast, Jenny Joy, former witch turned deliverance minister, shares her raw journey from occult bondage, trauma, and mental torment to freedom in Christ. 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.

In this powerful episode of The Jesus People Podcast, Ryan talks with Joshua “Nick” Sergent, better known online as the bearded man who prays (Holy Beards). From an atheist teen with three suicide attempts and years of bullying to a Spirit-led intercessor whose simple iPhone prayers have helped stop 220 suicide attempts (and counting), Nick shows why authenticity beats algorithm and why he chooses to “post & go” with a holy fear of the Lord.   They dig into intrusive thoughts and spiritual warfare, healing the wound beneath pornography (not just the habit), counting what heaven counts (souls > stats), and learning to fight wounded while staying rooted in Scripture, community, and prayer.   Key Highlights: From Facebook ban to TikTok: the raw prayer that met a mom “one scroll away” from suicide Why kindness leads to repentance (not fear-based hooks) and how to “post & go” 220 lives saved: why Nick counts every testimony and what real fruit looks like Porn isn’t the problem! the wound is: confession, wise counsel, therapy + Holy Spirit, and marriage boundaries that create safety Intrusive thoughts, fiery darts, and replacing what ifs with what is (Phil. 4:8) Bus routes, beach baptisms, and reaching a fatherless generation with tenderness and truth Support Nick (Holy Beards): holybeards.com 1:1 Christian Coaching & Courses (porn recovery, anxiety, trauma): sharethestruggle.org/coaching-rm   If you or someone you love is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.
