Lysa shares the deeply personal story behind her new book, *Making Peace with What I Can't Control*, including the heartbreak, betrayal, anxiety, and healing that taught her the difference between healthy responsibility and fear-driven control. Together, Ryan and Lysa explore why control can become a coping mechanism, how past experiences shape the way we interpret fear, and what it looks like to surrender outcomes to God while still taking responsibility for what is actually within our control. Get Lysa TerKeurst's *Making Peace with What I Can't Control*: [Making Peace with What I Can't Control by Lysa TerKeurst](https://a.co/d/06pYz9v9) Key Highlights: • Why control is often fear disguised as strength • The difference between healthy responsibility and controlling outcomes • How anxiety, trauma, and past experiences shape our perception • The four components of fear: alarm, memory, perception, and response • How to respond to fear instead of reacting from fear • Why good seasons can sometimes trigger anxiety after prolonged hardship • Learning to trust God when you cannot control the outcome • Journaling toward reality and identifying what is actually within your control • How Scripture can reshape the stories we tell ourselves • The importance of healthy Christian community and honest discipleship • How leaders can acknowledge their own struggles while continuing to grow • Surrendering what we cannot control while faithfully managing what we can If you've been struggling with anxiety, overthinking, fear of the future, control, trauma, or the pressure to hold everything together, this conversation will challenge you to release what belongs to God and faithfully steward what He has actually placed in your hands.

I Was Giving My Phone the Attention I Should’ve Given God |Addison Bevere| Jesus People Podcast Episode 90
Addison Bevere: How to Hear God, Pray & Break Your Phone Habit | Jesus People Podcast E90 Get Addison Bevere’s Words with God:https://a.co/d/02Qn2GNZ Start your reset and get The Gratitude Reset book: https://books.thejesuspeoplemovement.com/ 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.

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.
