In this eye-opening episode of The Jesus People Podcast Episode 81, Ryan Miller sits down with missionary Alex Barbir, founder of Building Zion, to uncover the devastating reality facing Christians in Nigeria.

Alex shares firsthand accounts from villages devastated by terrorist attacks, exposes the persecution of believers, explains why he has become the target of an international smear campaign, and challenges the Western church to respond with courage, compassion, and the Gospel.

 

More than a conversation about persecution, this episode is a call to live with fearless faith, to love enemies as Christ commanded, and to ask what role God is calling each of us to play in advancing His Kingdom.

Key Highlights:
• Why Christians are being targeted in Nigeria
• Alex Barbir's firsthand experience rebuilding churches and villages
• The alleged cover-up of Christian persecution
• Why the Gospel, not politics, is the ultimate answer
• Living courageously despite fear
• What the Western church can do today
• Missions, sacrifice, and counting the cost of following Jesus
• The power of forgiveness in the face of persecution
• Why Nigeria matters to the future of Christianity in Africa
• Answering God's call with boldness and obedience
If this conversation stirs your heart, prayerfully consider how God may be calling you to respond through prayer, generosity, advocacy, or missions.

Catholic or Protestant? Can Christians truly be united despite theological differences?

In Episode 67 of the Jesus People Podcast, Ryan Miller sits down with Lila Rose, founder of Live Action, for one of the most honest and respectful conversations on faith, theology, and the pro-life movement.

Together they discuss the biggest questions dividing Catholics and Protestants, including the Eucharist, Mary, the papacy, apostolic succession, Scripture vs. tradition, salvation, and whether Christians can remain united while holding different convictions.

They also expose the ongoing abortion crisis, explain why the pro-life movement is far from over after Roe v. Wade, and challenge every believer to become a voice for the unborn.

Whether you're Catholic, Protestant, or simply searching for truth, this episode invites you into a thoughtful conversation centered on Jesus Christ.

Key Highlights:

Catholic vs Protestant explained respectfully
• Is the Eucharist symbolic or truly the Body of Christ?
• Why Catholics honor Mary but do not worship her
• Scripture vs Tradition and the authority of the Church
• The papacy, apostolic succession, and the early Church
• Can Catholics and Protestants be unified?
• Why abortion remains the greatest human rights issue of our generation
• Practical ways Christians can defend life with truth, prayer, and compassion

If you've ever wrestled with these questions or wanted to understand the other side without the noise of internet debates, this conversation is for you.

In Episode 67 of The Jesus People Podcast, Seth Gruber delivers one of the most provocative and challenging conversations we've ever had on the state of the church, abortion, pornography, masculinity, spiritual warfare, and the future of Western civilization.

 

Why has an entire generation become disconnected from biblical truth? Why are so many churches silent about abortion, gender ideology, and the sexualization of children? Why have Christian men retreated from the cultural battle?

 

Seth argues that the greatest threat facing the church is not simply political decline, but spiritual forgetfulness. Drawing from Scripture, church history, C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, and modern cultural trends, he explains why societies collapse when Christians stop engaging the culture and why Christian men must recover courage, conviction, and moral leadership.

 

This episode challenges believers to move beyond passive faith and embrace the responsibility of defending truth, protecting families, and living boldly for Christ.

Key Highlights:

Why Western civilization is a "cut flower"

How abortion became normalized in modern culture

The connection between pornography and passive men

Why spiritual forgetfulness weakens the church

What C.S. Lewis meant by "men without chests"

The role of Christian men in defending truth and family

How sexual revolution and child sacrifice have historically gone together

Why courage is a muscle that must be exercised

The future of the pro-life movement after Roe v. Wade

What Christians can learn from church history and spiritual warfare

 

If you are concerned about the future of the church, the family, masculinity, and biblical truth, this conversation will challenge and equip you to think deeply and act boldly.

In Episode 67 of The Jesus People Podcast, Joshua McParland shares his powerful testimony of living as a transgender woman for seven years, pursuing hormones, cosmetic procedures, and gender transition, only to encounter Jesus Christ in a life-changing way that transformed everything.

From childhood confusion and online influences to hormone treatments, breast implants, and a planned gender surgery, Joshua opens up about the reality of his journey and how an unexpected encounter with Jesus led him to abandon his transition, rediscover his God-given identity, and begin walking in freedom.

This conversation explores identity, gender dysphoria, repentance, spiritual warfare, deliverance, grief, and the life-changing power of the gospel.

 

Key Highlights:
• Growing up with gender confusion and dysphoria
• The online influences that led to transition
• Hormone blockers, estrogen, and cosmetic procedures
• The reality behind transgender ideology
• Losing his father and searching for identity
• A supernatural encounter with Jesus
• Deliverance, repentance, and spiritual freedom
• Detransitioning and reclaiming his identity in Christ
• How parents can respond to gender confusion
• Hope for anyone battling shame, addiction, or confusion

Joshua's story is ultimately not about politics or culture. It is about the transforming power of Jesus Christ and the freedom that comes from surrendering your life completely to Him.
