The paradox of the Christian faith involves losing one's life to find it and dying to oneself to gain it (Mark 8:34-35). As citizens of heaven we work, study, love and live here on the earth. The podcast features real conversations aimed at helping believers live for Christ while being grounded in the truth as they navigate life in this secular world. Hosted by Wayne Turner and Nadene Badenhorst for Joshua Generation Church with Michael d'Offay giving eldership oversight.Copyright Joshua Generation Church, Cape Town, South Africa キリスト教 スピリチュアリティ 聖職・福音主義

  • Living A Generous Life

    Living A Generous Life
    2026/10/19
    What if generosity wasn’t just something you did once a month, but a way of life that transforms how you live every day?

    In this episode we’re talking about living a generous life.

    The New Testament calls us to something far greater than a month-end transaction. Generosity is about more than money; it’s about the posture of our hearts and how we respond to what God has entrusted to us.

    Generosity isn’t just financial. It includes our time, our gifts, our love, our service, and our willingness to respond when the Holy Spirit prompts us to bless someone.

    True generosity is Spirit-led. We receive from God, respond to His leading, bless others, and keep the cycle of generosity going.

    So, how do we move from giving out of obligation to living with open hands and open hearts? What changes when we see everything we have as entrusted to us by God for His purposes and to steward it faithfully?

    Join us as we explore what it means to live generously, reflecting the heart of God in the way we live, give, and love.

    Because generosity isn’t just an action — it’s a lifestyle.

  • Can Christianity and (African) Culture Meet?

    Can Christianity and (African) Culture Meet?
    2026/10/12
    Christianity and African culture — must we choose between the two, or can they complement one another?

    Africa is rich in cultural heritage, with traditions, customs, music, family structures and community values that have shaped generations. Yet, as Christians, we are called to examine every aspect of our lives through the lens of Scripture.

    So, where do Christianity and African culture complement one another? What can we celebrate, preserve and embrace from our cultural heritage? And where do certain customs, beliefs and traditional practices come into conflict with biblical Christianity?

    How do we distinguish between cultural practices that enrich our faith and those that compromise it? And how do we remain authentically African while being fully committed followers of Jesus Christ?

    But these questions become especially challenging when our faith conflicts with the expectations of our non-believing family members. How do we honour our parents, respect our elders and maintain family relationships when we are asked to participate in practices that go against our biblical convictions? How do we stand firm in our faith without becoming disrespectful, judgemental or disconnected from those we love?

    Today, we explore these questions and consider how the Bible helps us discern what to embrace, what to adapt and what we must leave behind — while remaining faithful to Christ and loving towards our families and communities.

  • Does God Care Where My Children Go to School?

    Does God Care Where My Children Go to School?
    2026/10/05
    Where should my child go to school?

    For Christian parents in South Africa, this is becoming an increasingly important question. Should our children attend a government school, private school, Christian school, homeschool or online school?

    And with worldviews and values that increasingly conflict with biblical Christianity finding their way into schools, many parents are asking, “Is this the right environment for my child?”

    But perhaps we need to start with a bigger question:

    Does God care which school my child goes to?

    The Bible makes it clear that parents have the primary responsibility for raising and discipling their children. We cannot simply hand that responsibility over to a school. Ultimately, the decision belongs to the parents.

    But how do we make that decision?

    Perhaps the question isn't simply, “Which school is best?” It is: “God, where do You want me to send this unique child You have entrusted to me, so that their potential can be maximised while they grow in their relationship with You and discover Your plans and purposes for their life?”

    Every child is different. What works for one child may not be right for another.

    A government school isn't automatically wrong. A private school isn't automatically better. A Christian school isn't necessarily the right choice for every child, and homeschooling isn't automatically the most biblical option.The responsibility is ours as parents to seek God, understand our child, evaluate the options and make a wise decision.

    So in this episode, we're going to ask what the Bible says about parental responsibility, education, competing worldviews and how Christian parents can make wise schooling decisions in today's South Africa.

    Because ultimately, the question isn't simply:

    “Which school should my child attend?

    ”It's:

    “Lord, where do You want me to send the child You have entrusted to me?”
