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.

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.
