In this gripping follow-up to our most-watched episode ever, former Satanic Church co-founder Riaan “Rion” Swiegelaar returns to The Jesus People Podcast—and nothing about this conversation is lightweight.

• Tech fails, sickness, and spiritual pushback tried to keep this show from happening—but we pressed record anyway, praying for covering and fighting from victory, not for it.
• Rion pulls back the curtain on astral surveillance, occult targeting tactics, and the 9-year satanic agenda racing toward a 2027 “one-world religion.”
• He explains why Christians “light up” in the spirit realm, how open doors like unrepented sin give demons legal ground, and why division-hungry “discernment” channels are unknowingly preaching the devil’s playbook.
• Most importantly, he lays out a battle plan for families: full armor of God, daily repentance, fasting, evangelism, and radical unity that nothing in hell can withstand.

If you’ve sensed unprecedented warfare—insomnia, unexplained illness, relentless fear—this episode will help you name it, frame it, and fight back under the blood of Jesus.

Key Highlights

• Inside the Satanic War Room: how astral projection scouts “glowing” Christians and churches
• The 2027 Agenda: one-world currency ➜ one-world religion—and why disunited believers could be sidelined
• Open-Door Diagnostics: hidden sin, occult entertainment, substance abuse & other legal rights for demons
• Armor Check: why every piece (including the shoes of gospel readiness) matters for front-line believers
• Oil That Won’t Let Demons Stick: cultivating intimacy with the Holy Spirit through prayer & fasting
• Debunking Viral “Discernment” Drama: when calling out “false prophets” becomes using God’s name in vain
• Prayers of Covering & Unity: real-time intercession for listeners, families, and the global Church

In this eye-opening episode of The Jesus People Podcast, Ryan sits down with Chad Kammeraad, a once-impoverished kid from a Michigan trailer park who rose to become a global-sales Partner at Microsoft—only to discover the summit of worldly success still left him searching.

Chad unpacks how a snowy five-mile hike, an unexpected podcast autoplay, and a divine whisper to “reach out to Ryan Miller” set off a chain reaction of radical YES-moments to God. From boardroom influence and luxury cars to board-up bridges and on-the-spot evangelism, Chad’s story proves that no amount of titles, toys, or trillions in market cap can compare with the freedom of walking daily with Christ.

• Message to Gen Z & Millennials: Hard work is good, but souls > salaries—success is sweetest when Jesus isn’t in the trunk
