School bus driver evangelist saves 220 lives through TikTok: Joshua “Nick” Sergent | JPP Episode 32

Episode 42

---

In this powerful episode of The Jesus People Podcast, Ryan talks with Joshua “Nick” Sergent, better known online as the bearded man who prays (Holy Beards). From an atheist teen with three suicide attempts and years of bullying to a Spirit-led intercessor whose simple iPhone prayers have helped stop 220 suicide attempts (and counting), Nick shows why authenticity beats algorithm and why he chooses to “post & go” with a holy fear of the Lord.

 

They dig into intrusive thoughts and spiritual warfare, healing the wound beneath pornography (not just the habit), counting what heaven counts (souls > stats), and learning to fight wounded while staying rooted in Scripture, community, and prayer.

 

Key Highlights:

• From Facebook ban to TikTok: the raw prayer that met a mom “one scroll away” from suicide
  
  
• Why kindness leads to repentance (not fear-based hooks) and how to “post & go”
  
  
• 220 lives saved: why Nick counts every testimony and what real fruit looks like
  
  
• Porn isn’t the problem! the wound is: confession, wise counsel, therapy + Holy Spirit, and marriage boundaries that create safety
  
  
• Intrusive thoughts, fiery darts, and replacing what ifs with what is (Phil. 4:8)
  
  
• Bus routes, beach baptisms, and reaching a fatherless generation with tenderness and truth
