In this gripping episode, Jenilee sits down with Steve Kang to explore his radical journey from devout Buddhism into a near-death encounter that he says took him through hell and heaven. Raised and trained in Buddhism, Steve struggled with deep questions about justice and suffering. But at age 19, after a drug overdose laced with multiple substances, he spiraled into spiritual darkness, demonic encounters, and an experience he describes as “eight hours in hell.”Steve shares how deception shaped his early worldview, what he believes opened the door to spiritual warfare in his life, and how Jesus intervened during the overdose and the eight-hour surgery that followed. He also recounts a later vision of heaven that transformed his understanding of God, Scripture, and the urgency of discipleship.This conversation goes beyond the near-death event itself. Jenilee and Steve unpack why many Christians drift into passive faith, why discipleship is non-negotiable, and how believers can move from spiritual complacency into Spirit-led transformation.What We Cover in This EpisodeSteve’s early life in Buddhism and training under monksThe spiritual crisis his family experienced after financial collapseHow addiction and hopelessness pushed him toward destructive choicesThe overdose that led to demonic encounters and a suicide attemptWhat Steve says he experienced during “8 hours in hell”The intercessors who prayed during his life-or-death surgeryHis encounter with Jesus and the moment he surrenderedA vision of heaven nine months later and its impact on his callingWhy discipleship matters more than weekly church attendanceThe dangers of “Christianity without transformation”What spiritual mentorship really looks likeWhy Steve rejects universalism and emphasizes the seriousness of eternityHow believers can cultivate a Spirit-led life instead of driftingGET STEVE'S BOOK:Book: 8 Hours in Hell (formerly A Testimony and the Spirit-Filled and Biblical Christian Life)If You’re New to FaithSteve shared a prayer at the end of this episode for those ready to begin following Jesus.

If worship still feels like the “warm-up” before the sermon, you’re missing its most powerful purpose.What if worship is actually the fastest way to tune your ears to hear God clearly……and most believers have never been taught how it really works?Today, worship leader and Bible teacher Matt Coss breaks open a revelation that will shift the way you approach God’s presence — in church, in your car, and in your everyday walk with Him.🎧 Inside this episode:The worship misconception that keeps people spiritually dullWhy revelation—not emotion—creates real worship3 ways worship sharpens your ability to hear God (and the one almost everyone skips)A simple secret to restoring awe, wonder, and spiritual sensitivityHow prophetic worship actually works (for those new to it!)What to do if you feel stuck, stale, or routine in worshipHow to worship deeply even if you come from a non-charismatic backgroundWhy remembering God’s works is the quickest path to presenceMatt also shares his own journey from a Baptist upbringing (we love our baptist roots!) into Spirit-led worship — and how revelation transformed his entire relationship with God.✨ Key TakeawaysYou can’t worship a God you’re not beholding — revelation comes first.Worship is one of the fastest on-ramps to hearing God’s voice.Prophetic worship is simply responding to what God reveals.Wonder is the oxygen of worship; routine is the enemy of awe.Your secret worship place will determine your spiritual depth.📌 Connect with Matt CossWebsite: https://www.mattcoss.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mattcossmusicInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattcossFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattCossMusic/☕️ Jen’s Links + ResourcesWanna start your own podcast?

What if the reason your prayers for healing aren’t working has nothing to do with your faith level… and everything to do with where your faith is pointed?In this powerful conversation, missionary Josh Siratt shares the moment the Holy Spirit confronted him with a truth that completely shifted the way he prayed—and why healing began to happen effortlessly once he made one vital change.From praying over drunk students in the back of his Uber to witnessing miracles in Italy and beyond, Josh breaks down the difference between having faith in healing vs. having faith in the name of Jesus—and he gives practical, scripture-backed strategies to activate real breakthrough in your own life.If you’ve ever prayed for healing—your own or someone else’s—and wondered, “Why isn’t this working?”… this episode will break something open for you.🔥 In This Episode You’ll Learn:The Holy Spirit revelation that exposed why Josh’s prayers weren’t producing resultsHow focusing on the outcome instead of the Name stops healing in its tracksWhy traditions and theology can quietly shut down the power of God—even in faith circlesThe story of how Uber rides turned into a two-year training ground for miracle ministryThe simplest, most biblical way to pray for healing with confidence and authorityWhat the Bible actually teaches about the name of Jesus and its connection to healingHow to recognize when you’re praying in your strength vs. relying on God’s powerPLUS: A powerful activation prayer you can speak over yourself and others📖 Scriptures MentionedActs 3:6 • Romans 8:15 • John 14:13-14 • Mark 16:17-18 • Psalm 103:2-3🙏 Activation Prayer (Pray This Out Loud)“Jesus, I shift my faith right now from the outcome to Your name.I believe Your name carries all authority in heaven and on earth.I renounce every tradition and belief that limits Your power in my life.I receive Your healing—not because I feel it, but because Your Word declares it.Holy Spirit, train me to pray in alignment with the name above every name.Let healing come—in my body, mind, family, and everywhere I go.In Your name, Jesus.

From the moment God spoke the world into existence, the same creative authority was wired into us — yet most of us use it against ourselves.You’ll learn: why your current world is the harvest of your past words, how science confirms that sound waves don’t die (they echo and build form), and why heaven literally waits on your agreement before it moves. Jenilee weaves together Scripture, Hebrew revelation about the Decade of the Mouth (Peh), powerful personal stories, and biblical examples from Zechariah to Joshua to prove:“You cannot live in overcoming if your mouth is prophesying defeat.”Whether you’ve been careless with your confessions, stuck in cycles of doubt, or just ready to see your prayers finally produce, this episode will ignite your faith and show you how to:Recognize the worlds your words are building right nowRetrain your mouth to align with heavenPartner with God and His angels to shape your destinyBy the end, you’ll know exactly how to “get your mouth in alignment” and start speaking the life you want to live.🎧 Listen NOW!Scripture Highlights:James 3:5 – “...the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches.”Proverbs 18:21 – “The tongue can bring death or life.”Isaiah 55:11 – “My word will not return to Me empty.”-----------------------------------------------🤩 Join me in Greece on a special trip with my listeners!

Check out the details here.------------------------------------------------------IN TODAY'S EPISODE:Most Christians love God but rarely think of their money as part of their spiritual life. We see finances as practical — something separate from our walk with God — yet the Bible shows they’re deeply connected to our identity, obedience, and calling.In this powerful episode, Jenilee Samuel sits down with Nathanael Iverson to uncover three untaught truths about Kingdom finances and why your money is one of the most spiritual tools God has given you. Together, they unpack how the tithe is actually an invitation into relationship and supernatural provision, not just a duty. Nathanael shares how understanding the difference between bread, seed, and abundance completely changed how he handled his finances — and how it can transform yours too.They also talk about why debt quietly delays your destiny, how your seed money and calling to multiply are tied to fulfilling your purpose, and why hearing God in your finances is key to stepping into true Kingdom abundance.Nathanael’s story is both humbling and inspiring. After 30 years in the corporate world, working in cybersecurity and communications, he finally surrendered to God’s original call on his life to be a musician. Today, he’s a composer, author, and speaker helping believers discover how their unique design connects to their purpose and provision.If you’ve ever felt stuck in survival mode or unsure how to use your money wisely and spiritually, this conversation will give you fresh revelation, peace, and clarity. You’ll walk away knowing how to partner with God for provision, use money as a tool for Kingdom impact, and hear His voice more clearly in every financial decision.👉 Grab Nathanael’s book “Unique Design: Turning Your God-Given Identity into Impact” here:https://www.nathanaeliversen.com/2-step-order-formGive Value for Value: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/7B647DMFXD5L8---------------------------------------------• Get Jen’s "Hearing God's Voice for Everyday Life" 30-day Journal that was created for YOU on Amazon! : : https://a.co/d/6aea4Dg🌟 Buy LifeWave Stem Cell Patches: www.lifewave.com/javawithjen💼 Join as a Distributor on Jen's Lifewave team: www.lifewave.com/javawithjen/enrollment/packs📩 Have Questions?

We take a journey from personal visions and global revival signs, through prophetic words and Scripture, to a challenge: will we shrink back — or step into the new harvest God is birthing?What You’ll Hear:A personal vision Jen had years ago, foretelling revival coming from unexpected places — especially among young people and families.Stunning revival statistics: Turning Point USA has received 38,000 requests in just four days to start campus chapters.Key Scriptures in NLT form, including John 12:24–25, Mark 4:20, John 16:33, 1 Corinthians 16:13, Genesis 50:20, Romans 8:28, Hebrews 10:39, and Romans 10:9.A look at Kim Clement’s prophetic word about a woman rising with oil of healing for the nation — and how that might connect with Erika Kirk’s story.Three life-changing takeaways from Charlie Kirk’s life and death:Live boldly and without compromise.Trust that God can redeem destruction.Don’t shrink back — be willing to be a seed in God’s hands.A gospel invitation and a prayer for salvation, encouraging listeners to step into the harvest.Links & ContactIf you prayed the prayer of salvation, let Jen know so she can get some tools in your hands to help you grow in Jesus: jen@javawithjenpodcast.comFollow Jen’s latest posts and podcast highlights on Instagram: www.instagram.com/javawithjenRead more on the prophetic word about Erika Kirk and America’s healing: “Is Erika Kirk the Chosen Esther?” from Charisma Magazine → mycharisma.com prophetic revival articlePrayer Prompt:Pray for Charlie Kirk’s family, and for the young people and families stirred by his legacy.Pray that any seed of loss or pain would become a powerful harvest for God’s Kingdom.What looks like death can become the door to multiplied life. As Jesus taught us — unless a grain of wheat falls and dies, it remains alone. But its death brings many seeds. Let’s not shrink back. Let’s watch the harvest break. God wastes nothing.---------------------------------------• Join me in Greece on a special trip with my listeners!

Why Women Everywhere Struggle to Hear God—and What the Bible’s Forgotten Female Voices RevealWhy is it that women everywhere — from modern moms in Brooklyn to prophets hidden in the Old Testament — wrestle with the same question: “Am I really hearing God’s voice?”In this episode, Jenilee sits down with author and podcaster Rachael Groll (Hearing Jesus Podcast) to uncover the surprising common thread between today’s women and the overlooked female prophets of Scripture. Together, they dig into how obedience tunes your heart to hear God more clearly — and how the forgotten voices of the Bible can give you fresh confidence today.👉 In this episode, you’ll discover:The striking insecurities modern women share with biblical women you’ve likely never heard of.Why God’s choice to work through women in every generation is no accident.The role of obedience as the “radio dial” that clears the static so you can hear His voice.How doubt, when surrendered, becomes the doorway to confidence.Practical steps you can take today to recognize God’s voice with greater clarity.This isn’t just another Bible study — it’s a conversation that will help you see yourself in the forgotten women of Scripture and give you the courage to respond to God’s voice with confidence.📖 Get Rachael’s new book, Knowing God’s Voice on Amazon: https://a.co/d/9algkh0🎙️ Listen to her daily show Hearing Jesus💡 Loved today’s episode?Subscribe to Java with Jen so you never miss a Spirit-led conversation.Leave a quick rating & review to help other women discover the show.Share this episode with a friend who’s longing to hear God more clearly.---------------------------------💕 Become one of Jen's biggest supporters through being a monthly sponsor of the show! www.patreon.com/javawithjen• Join me in Greece on a special trip with my listeners!
