  • Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People - Part 1

    Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People - Part 1
    Jul 7 2025
    Why does a good and loving God allow suffering? Is it part of the believer’s walk with Him—or a sign that something is wrong? These are deep questions that many of us wrestle with, especially in seasons of hardship. In this episode, we take an honest look at what the Bible teaches about trials, tribulations, and suffering. We’ll explore whether suffering is tied to sin, and why Scripture tells us to “count it all joy” when we face various trials, as James 1 reminds us. Is God distant in our pain, or is He doing something deeper through it? Let’s open the Word together and discover how suffering fits into the life of faith—and how it can shape us, refine us, and even draw us closer to God. Clarence Rule and Donovan Sheppard, elders in the life of JoshGen and Pam Marais share their experiences of trials, grief and trauma and how God has used it for His good in their lives.

  • How Do We Sense the Presence of God

    How Do We Sense the Presence of God
    Jun 30 2025
    Today, we’re diving into a deep yet often misunderstood topic—the experience of sensing God’s presence in our lives and corporate worship. For some, it's deeply physical or even overwhelming. For others, it’s quiet, still, yet undeniably real. But in a world where emotions can sometimes cloud discernment, how do we recognize what’s truly from God? We’re not here to judge or dismiss anyone’s encounter, but to bring wisdom, God's Word, and spiritual maturity to the conversation. Because while God’s presence is transformative, worship must also remain rooted in order, truth, and without quenching the Spirit—or losing the awe." Mike Davies, an elder in the life of JoshGen, together with Morne and Erina van Der Walt who lead JoshGen South Africa, share some of their experiences.

    Are Faith and Feminism Compatible

    Are faith and feminism compatible? Today, we’re stepping into a big conversation — one that can feel like a collision of worlds. Is feminism compatible with biblical faith?

Whether you’ve wrestled with these ideas yourself or simply want to understand better, we’re going to explore how a biblical worldview can speak into modern society — boldly, compassionately, and without compromise. Our guests today are Dr Lolly van Deventer, Advocate Nadene Badenhorst and Mike Davies an elder in the life of JoshGen. They share insights into this huge subject.

  • Walking With Confidence - The Assurance of Salvation

    Walking With Confidence - The Assurance of Salvation
    Jun 9 2025
    Assurance of salvation is one of the most vital truths every believer must grasp. God hasn’t called us merely to know about Him, but to walk confidently as His sons and daughters. Yet for many, a quiet question lingers: Am I truly saved? What does it really mean to have assurance of my salvation?
    When can I know for certain? These aren’t just theological ideas — they touch the very core of how we do life together, how we worship, and how we endure through life’s trials. In this episode, we’ll explore what the Word teaches about assurance. We’ll look at the role of faith and fruit, and how our confidence isn’t based on our performance, but on the finished, unshakeable work of Jesus Christ.
    Luke Hulley and Michael d'Offay, elders in the life of JoshGen, share some of their insights with us.

  • How To Be Naturally Supernatural

    How To Be Naturally Supernatural
    Jun 2 2025
    In a world driven by logic, science, and proof, the idea of the supernatural can seem outdated or even irrelevant. But for us as believers, the supernatural isn’t a fringe element of faith — it’s central to the life and ministry of Jesus and the New Testament Church. So what does it mean to live naturally supernatural in today’s skeptical age? How do we walk in the power of the Holy Spirit while remaining grounded, authentic, and approachable? And how do we minister to people who don’t believe in miracles, signs, or wonders? In this episode of Dying to Live, we’re unpacking what it looks like to live a life where the supernatural becomes natural — not weird, not forced, but an everyday reality that flows from intimacy with God.

  • The Prosperity Gospel - Exposing A Different Gospel

    The Prosperity Gospel - Exposing A Different Gospel
    May 26 2025
    In today’s episode, we’re addressing a subject that has deeply influenced many lives in different contexts and continents — the prosperity gospel. While it often comes wrapped in the language of faith, confession and blessing, it distorts the very heart of Christ’s Gospel message and leads many into confusion, disappointment, and crisis of faith. The truth is, following Jesus doesn’t mean we’re spared from suffering — believers still go through trials, hardship, and even persecution. But in the midst of it all, we are promised His presence, His grace, and eternal life. Our aim today isn’t to attack people, but to lovingly bring clarity, expose error, and point us back to the true Gospel — a Gospel of grace, not greed; of Christ and not consumerism. Johane Musviba, Michael D'Offay and Dylan Jones, elders in the life of JoshGen, share their thoughts and bring correction around this controversial subject.
