    What Happened to Neeza Powers? Full Story & Update | The Jesus People Podcast Episode 71

    This is a hard podcast for me to make. I’ve found myself publicly part of this story, and I believe it’s right to speak to it with clarity, honesty, and love. In this video, I walk through the full timeline of my relationship with Neeza—how we met, what I saw, the conversations we had, and how we got to where we are now. I also share what I’ve learned about platforming people, the weight of influence, and the spiritual realities that come with it. I had two phone calls with Neeza yesterday. They were hard conversations. I share parts of those here with his permission. I also want to be clear about something: this was not a grift. This was not about money. This was not a setup. Conspiracy-driven comments are not helpful and they are not true. This is a real person on a real journey—and our first response should be to pray. This video is not about tearing someone down. It’s about telling the truth, taking responsibility where needed, and calling all of us—myself included—back to the fear of the Lord and obedience to His Word. We all have areas where Scripture confronts us. Areas where our desires don’t align with God’s design. Those are the places we’re called to surrender, to pick up our cross, and to follow Jesus. I also speak directly to Neeza in this video. Brother, I love you. I’m here for you. And I’m praying for you. If you’re watching this, I would ask: * Pray for Neeza * Be careful how you speak * Examine your own heart first * And hold both truth and love together “The fear of the Lord leads to holiness, and the kindness of the Lord leads us to repentance.”

    How One Confession Sparked a Campus Revival | Jennie Allen | Jesus People Podcast Episode 64

    In one of the most powerful and deeply moving episodes of The Jesus People Podcast, bestselling author and Bible teacher Jennie Allen shares firsthand stories from the front lines of revival happening on college campuses today. From witnessing the early days of the Asbury revival to a recent outpouring at Southeastern University, Jennie recounts the moment a room full of thousands of students broke into repentance, confession, and surrender to God. What followed was something few people experience in their lifetime: days of nonstop worship, repentance, and students answering the call to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. But revival did not begin with hype or emotionalism. It began with something far more difficult: confession. Jennie explains why confession breaks spiritual strongholds, why the enemy thrives in secrecy, and how hidden lies about our identity keep people trapped in shame, addiction, and isolation. This conversation dives deep into spiritual warfare, revival, identity, freedom in Christ, and how the gospel brings healing when darkness is brought into the light. Key Highlights: • Jennie Allen’s firsthand account of revival at Southeastern University • The powerful moment when one student’s confession changed the entire room • Why confession often precedes revival and spiritual breakthrough • The spiritual power of bringing hidden struggles into the light • The three core lies many people believe: worthless, unlovable, and helpless • How the enemy uses secrecy and isolation to maintain strongholds • Why confession to others brings healing while confession to God brings forgiveness • Powerful stories of transformation from prison ministry and baptisms • The supernatural impact of baptism, communion, and repentance • How revival is spreading among Gen Z on college campuses   If you have ever struggled with shame, hidden sin, addiction, fear, or feeling stuck in destructive patterns, this conversation reveals a powerful truth: freedom begins when darkness is brought into the light. The gospel is not just forgiveness. It is transformation. And sometimes the first step toward revival is simply telling the truth. Subscribe for more powerful conversations on The Jesus People Podcast, where we explore revival, spiritual warfare, transformation, and the life changing power of Jesus.   Jennie Allen’s Book Mentioned in This Episode Jennie Allen’s new book The Lie You Don’t Know You Believe: How to Find It, Fight It, and Live Free explores the hidden lies that shape our identity and how the enemy uses them to keep people stuck in shame, fear, and bondage. The book helps readers identify those lies and replace them with God’s truth.
