    What Do I Do When God Seems Distant

    There are times in our lives when God feels far away and life feels like a wilderness. Where is God when this happens? Is He there with us or has He removed Himself? Can an omnipresent God be distant? How do faith and the emotional sense of God's presence play out in situations like this? Melanie du Toit, a prophetic voice in JoshGen and Michael D'Offay with Brett Bevan, both elders within the life of JoshGen, share perspectives from God's Word together with personal experience.

    Why Should I Trust My Bible?
    Feb 24 2025
    In a world where there is no morality, ethical standards are flexible and society does what the latest fad demands, is the Bible still relevant? Can we trust the Bible? Can we trust the whole Bible? These are some of the questions that bring doubt to the minds of especially our younger generation of believers. Our team of elders, Mike D'Offay, Dan Barnard and Luke Hulley dig deeper and explore some of the reasons why the Bible is God's word and still is very relevant to our generation.

    Come Alive and Thrive in 2025
    Feb 10 2025
    When it comes to new year resolutions, planning or goalsetting everyone has an opinion on what is right and what isn't. What should our response be to the pressures of planning or new year resolutions? What is the godly response? How do we achieve a balance between the two? In this episode our team answers these questions and others, BUT, the consensus is that the key response should be pressing in and drawing closer to the One who holds the future and knows where we should ultimately be.

  • From Darkness to Forgiveness and Restoration - Julian's Story

    From Darkness to Forgiveness and Restoration - Julian's Story
    Feb 7 2025
    ***PODCAST CONTAINS TESTIMONY THAT MAY IMPACT SENSITIVE LISTENERS***

    This is the riveting testimony and dramatic journey of a talented young man who experienced mental illness at school which developed into full schizophrenia at university and took his life in a downward spiral on a very dark journey. Culminating in a tragic event and resulting in his arrest and committal to Valkenburg Psychiatric Hospital, Julian Goldswain's life appeared to be over, facing a future as a state mental patient. He was told by doctors that he would never be healed, get married, have children or work again. But God had other ideas and a journey of restoration changed him radically leading to the complete healing of his mental illness and coming off all medication. This transformation was likened by doctors to the mental equivalent of a paraplegic rising from a wheelchair and walking again. Julian and his wife Chantelle are on eldership with the JoshGen Muizenberg congregation and do life together with their two teenage boys Thorin and Gabe.

    Is Supernatural Healing Still Relevant For Today?
    Feb 3 2025
    In this episode we ask the question, is supernatural healing still relevant and if so how do we exercise the gift of healing? Should everyone be healed? What if you are not healed, has God let you down? Does it depend on our faith or the faith of the one praying for healing? There are many theologies around healing so how do we know what to believe? These and other questions are answered, together testimonies of God's healing in the lives of believers, by our panel, Dan Barnard, Sonja van der Merwe and Martin Janssen.
