What happens when a devout Muslim begins studying the Quran alongside the Bible and discovers questions he can no longer ignore?

In Episode 92 of The Jesus People Podcast, Ryan Miller sits down with Shahriq Khan, a former Muslim who came to faith in Jesus after years of wrestling with Islam, apologetics, Scripture, depression, family rejection, and questions about truth.

Shahriq shares the deeply personal story of how Christ met him during one of the darkest moments of his life, how leaving Islam cost him relationships and opportunities, and why he eventually became passionate about helping Christians understand Islam and reach Muslims with the Gospel.

The conversation also dives into Shahriq's "Master Key," the biblical and apologetic framework he uses to compare the Quran with the Torah and examine Islamic claims about Scripture, Jesus, the crucifixion, Adam and Eve, Joseph, Moses, the Passover, and more.

Key Highlights:

Shahriq's journey from Islam to Jesus Christ

The night Christ met him while he was suicidal

Why leaving Islam cost him family, friendships, and business opportunities

What led him to study the Quran and Bible side by side

The "Master Key" approach to reaching Muslims with the Gospel

Quranic accounts of Adam and Eve compared with Genesis

The Quran's account of the crucifixion of Jesus

The story of Joseph and differences between the Quran and Genesis

Moses, Jacob, Saul, Gideon, David, and other biblical stories

The Passover and its connection to the Gospel

How Christians can defend their faith without attacking Muslims

Why biblical literacy matters in Christian apologetics

How ex-Muslims can help equip the Church to reach Muslims

The cost of picking up your cross and following Jesus

Shahriq also shares the story behind Christ Underground, a free online community designed to equip Christians to reach Muslim friends and family through biblical apologetics, discipleship, and evangelism.

In Episode 91 of The Jesus People Podcast, Ryan Miller sits down with Nik Kiswani to hear his incredible journey from Hinduism, atheism, Hollywood, music, and addiction to faith in Jesus Christ.

Nik shares how growing up Hindu shaped his worldview, how success and influence in Hollywood left him searching for something deeper, and how his experiences in the music industry led him to investigate spiritual darkness, Satanism, and the supernatural.

What started as a search for truth eventually led Nik to the Bible, where he began exploring Jesus, Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and the reality of spiritual warfare. He shares the powerful moment he surrendered his life to Christ and how God began transforming his desires, habits, language, and identity.

This conversation also dives into pornography addiction, dopamine, spiritual warfare, the culture of Hollywood, artificial intelligence, transhumanism, the end times, the Mark of the Beast, and what it means to remain spiritually awake in a rapidly changing world.

Key Highlights:
• Nik's journey from Hinduism and atheism to Jesus Christ
• Growing up without ever hearing the gospel
• Finding success on social media, music, and in Hollywood
• His experiences with occult and Satanic imagery
• The search for truth that ultimately led him to the Bible
• The moment Nik surrendered his life to Jesus
• Experiencing the Holy Spirit and the transforming power of God
• Breaking free from pornography, weed, profanity, and lust
• Why pornography can become a powerful cycle of addiction
• Spiritual warfare and the battle for human identity
• Hollywood, culture, and the influence of spiritual darkness
• Artificial intelligence, transhumanism, and the future of humanity
• The days of Noah and the return of Jesus
• Revelation, the Mark of the Beast, and spiritual readiness
• Why believers should pursue Jesus rather than fear the future

Whatever season you are in, this episode is ultimately a reminder that no amount of success, pleasure, influence, or worldly achievement can replace Jesus Christ.

If you're searching for truth, struggling with addiction, questioning your faith, or simply trying to understand what God is doing in the world, this conversation will challenge you to seek Jesus for yourself.

Addison Bevere: How to Hear God, Pray & Break Your Phone Habit | Jesus People Podcast E90

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.

📖 Russell Brand's book: How to Become a Christian in Seven Days

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.
