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, 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.
