In this powerful episode of The Jesus People Podcast, John Gabbana, formerly viral provocateur “Boonk Gang” (Holy Gabbana) shares his raw journey from fame-fueled chaos to a new nature in Christ. John opens up about a broken childhood, chasing clout, losing a 4.5M-follower Instagram after explicit posts, a jail-cell encounter with the Holy Spirit, and a friend’s near-death experience that confirmed: Jesus is real.
Now a preacher in prisons, schools, and churches, John shows why virality can’t satisfy a God-sized hole, and how daily deliverance, discipleship, and identity in Jesus transform everything.
Key Highlights:
Childhood chaos, “open doors,” and the pull of sin vs. a new nature in Christ
Losing 4.5M on IG after explicit stories, and counting the true cost of fame
Jail testimony: a cellmate, a Bible, a song to Jesus… and tangible joy
Friend shot and pronounced dead, describes heaven’s overwhelming love
Detour into New Age vs. becoming rooted in Scripture and truth
Discipleship that isn’t sterile or “religious” (shoutout Uncle Reece)
Why influence ≠ fulfillment and how to guard your heart online
A closing prayer for healing, identity, and surrender
If you’re chasing views, money, or validation and still feel empty, John’s testimony is your wake-up call: seek first the Kingdom, receive a new nature, and let God rebuild your life from the inside out.

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

From New Age Deception to Freedom in Jesus
In this powerful episode of The Jesus People Podcast, Jessica courageously shares how God led her out of psychic mediumship and New Age practices, and into the arms of Jesus. From ER scares and a “Bible Seller” book that warned of wolves in sheep’s clothing, to a life-changing confession and the choice to “burn the scrolls” (Acts 19:19) by deleting her podcast and socials, Jessica’s story is a raw, hope-filled roadmap for anyone tangled in spiritual counterfeits. With Ryan and Riaan (a former occult practitioner turned evangelist), we unpack familiar spirits, spiritual warfare, and how to test the spirits, and we pray protection and blessing over Jessica’s family and future.
Key Highlights:
The moment everything shifted: “You’ve been tricked.”
Acts 19:19 today: deleting platforms as “burning the scrolls”
Familiar spirits explained: why accuracy ≠ truth
Testing the spirits: Scripture, love, and the “three witnesses” filter
Religion vs. relationship: obedience > perfection; fight from victory
Practical reply to old clients seeking readings—pointing to the Healer
A prophetic encouragement over Jessica’s calling, writing, and family
If you (or someone you love) are involved in psychics, astrology, tarot, crystals, Reiki, or enneagram confusion, and you’re hungry for truth, this testimony is for you. Jesus still frees, heals, and leads us into identity in Christ and freedom from deception.

In this beach-side solo episode of The Jesus People Podcast, online evangelist Ryan Miller unpacks his own whirlwind testimony from insecure, fro-topped teen evangelist and benched baseball hopeful, through heartbreak, porn & alcohol addiction, to a million-dollar Wild Mustang film, multiple ministry failures, and finally a viral digital mission that now reaches millions.
As he strolls Door County’s shoreline, Ryan threads jaw-dropping miracles with two overlooked passages, Hosea’s scandalous marriage and the high priest Joshua standing filthy before God, to reveal a Gospel of relentless pursuit and tender meekness that tames even the wildest heart.
Key Highlights
Growing up the “odd bird” in a PhD-packed family & early high-school zeal
Baseball roller-coaster: from cut lists to Cubs scouts, then crushing betrayal
Porn, booze & an identity crisis that drove a desperate search for worth
Bold Wild Mustang film project and the divine lesson of meekness
Hosea & Joshua: vivid biblical pictures of God buying back what’s already His
From wilderness years to half-billion-view online evangelism, when surrender fuels impact
If you’re chasing success yet feeling empty, battling secret sin, or stuck in the “round pen,” Ryan’s story proves no failure is final and no heart too wild for Christ’s redeeming love.

In this gripping follow-up to our most-watched episode ever, former Satanic Church co-founder Riaan “Rion” Swiegelaar returns to The Jesus People Podcast—and nothing about this conversation is lightweight.
Tech fails, sickness, and spiritual pushback tried to keep this show from happening—but we pressed record anyway, praying for covering and fighting from victory, not for it.
Rion pulls back the curtain on astral surveillance, occult targeting tactics, and the 9-year satanic agenda racing toward a 2027 “one-world religion.”
He explains why Christians “light up” in the spirit realm, how open doors like unrepented sin give demons legal ground, and why division-hungry “discernment” channels are unknowingly preaching the devil’s playbook.
Most importantly, he lays out a battle plan for families: full armor of God, daily repentance, fasting, evangelism, and radical unity that nothing in hell can withstand.
If you’ve sensed unprecedented warfare—insomnia, unexplained illness, relentless fear—this episode will help you name it, frame it, and fight back under the blood of Jesus.
Key Highlights
Inside the Satanic War Room: how astral projection scouts “glowing” Christians and churches
The 2027 Agenda: one-world currency ➜ one-world religion—and why disunited believers could be sidelined
Open-Door Diagnostics: hidden sin, occult entertainment, substance abuse & other legal rights for demons
Armor Check: why every piece (including the shoes of gospel readiness) matters for front-line believers
Oil That Won’t Let Demons Stick: cultivating intimacy with the Holy Spirit through prayer & fasting
Debunking Viral “Discernment” Drama: when calling out “false prophets” becomes using God’s name in vain
Prayers of Covering & Unity: real-time intercession for listeners, families, and the global Church

In this eye-opening episode of The Jesus People Podcast, best-selling author, speaker, and Confident Woman Co. founder Amanda Pittman returns to share how God led her from months of spiritual dryness to a life-changing deliverance encounter—and why intimacy with Jesus is the key to walking in unstoppable authority.
Amanda pulls back the curtain on spiritual warfare, generational curses, and deliverance ministry, revealing how believers can silence the voice of condemnation, demolish demonic footholds, and step into their God-given calling. If you’ve wrestled with doubt, anxiety, or feeling stuck in cycles of sin, this conversation will equip you with biblical strategies—and fresh faith—to win the battle for your mind and destiny.
Key Highlights
Confronting a season of “spiritual drought” and feeling cut off from God’s presence
The deliverance session that shattered lies of abuse, shame, and unworthiness
Understanding generational curses and how Christ empowers us to break them
Why intimacy + obedience are your greatest defenses in spiritual warfare
Practical steps for taking every thought captive and reclaiming your Kingdom authority
Powerful prayer of freedom and impartation for listeners at the end of the episode
If you—or someone you love—are battling oppression, lingering shame, or relentless doubt, Amanda’s testimony proves no chain is too thick and no pit too deep for the love of Jesus.

In this electrifying episode of The Jesus People Podcast, Ryan sits down with Steve Weatherford—Super Bowl–winning NFL punter, “Fittest Man in the League,” and now full-time ambassador for the Gospel. Steve pulls back the curtain on life after the Lombardi Trophy, revealing how childhood trauma, performance addiction, and people-pleasing nearly derailed his purpose until a radical, Holy-Spirit encounter at 36 rewrote his identity.
With trademark transparency and intensity, Steve unpacks why men’s brotherhood, fearless integrity, and living from victory (not for it) are the antidote to burnout, fatherlessness, and shallow faith. If you crave authentic discipleship, leadership that costs something, and a blueprint for turning worldly accolades into eternal impact, this conversation is for you.
Key Highlights
Leaving NFL fame to chase Kingdom purpose—why trophies couldn’t fill a God-sized hole
Healing from sexual-abuse trauma and breaking the “not-enough” lie
The power of brotherhood & mentorship: protecting your yes and sharpening iron
Moving from performance mindset to Spirit-led rest (work from victory, not for it)
Raising fearless, disciplined families and calling men to biblical masculinity
If you’re a high-drive achiever longing for deeper meaning—or know a man stuck on the hamster wheel of success—Steve’s story proves Jesus can transform a punter into a Kingdom warrior. No platform is too big, no past too messy, and no dream too wild when God writes the scouting report.

In this eye-opening episode of The Jesus People Podcast, Ryan sits down with Chad Kammeraad, a once-impoverished kid from a Michigan trailer park who rose to become a global-sales Partner at Microsoft—only to discover the summit of worldly success still left him searching.
Chad unpacks how a snowy five-mile hike, an unexpected podcast autoplay, and a divine whisper to “reach out to Ryan Miller” set off a chain reaction of radical YES-moments to God. From boardroom influence and luxury cars to board-up bridges and on-the-spot evangelism, Chad’s story proves that no amount of titles, toys, or trillions in market cap can compare with the freedom of walking daily with Christ.
If you’re a young professional, an entrepreneur chasing the next promotion, or anyone wrestling with success, identity, or purpose, Chad’s testimony will challenge—and liberate—you to invite Jesus into the passenger seat and let Him drive.
Key Highlights

-Breaking legal ground: What “open doors,” blood covenants, and spiritual authority really mean for Christians today.
-Deliverance & calling: Launching Deliverance Hub to rescue others trapped in Satanism, witchcraft, and the New Age.
