Ryan Miller
About this episode

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.

If you’re a young professional, an entrepreneur chasing the next promotion, or anyone wrestling with success, identity, or purpose, Chad’s testimony will challenge—and liberate—you to invite Jesus into the passenger seat and let Him drive.

Key Highlights

  • Humble beginnings: Growing up in a trailer park, single family car, early exposure to faith at Camp Geneva
  • Corporate climb: Youngest VP at his firm, lands Partner status overseeing multi-billion-dollar accounts at Microsoft
  • The wake-up call: A late-night celebration turns into a Holy-Spirit confrontation—“I gave all this to you for Me, not you”
  • YES-moments in action: Saving Christmas in a global media boardroom, sparking faith conversations in Chicago traffic, and more
  • Message to Gen Z & Millennials: Hard work is good, but souls > salaries—success is sweetest when Jesus isn’t in the trunk

If career ambitions, wealth goals, or social-media metrics are driving you, Chad’s journey invites you to trade empty trophies for eternal treasure. God’s plan for your life is already written—say YES and watch the doors fly open.
