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 Christianity Spirituality

  • What Does It Mean That God is in Control

    What Does It Mean That God is in Control
    May 25 2026
    What do we really mean when we say, "God is in control"? It's a phrase Christians often use, especially in times of uncertainty, suffering, or disappointment. But what exactly is the sovereignty of God?

    Does it mean that God determines every detail of life? How does His sovereignty relate to our choices, our prayers, our obedience, and our relationship with Him? And if God is truly sovereign, should we simply sit back and accept whatever happens, believing there's nothing for us to do? In this episode, we explore one of the most profound and comforting truths of the Christian faith—the sovereignty of God.

    Together we'll consider what the Bible teaches about God's rule and authority over all things, where this doctrine fits into our understanding of who God is, and how it shapes the way we live, trust, pray, and follow Christ every day.

    Joining us are Mike D'Offay and Stephan van Zyl, elders within the life of Joshua Generation Church, who share their insights and understanding of God's sovereignty and its practical implications for our lives as believers.

  • Leaders Are Sons First

    Leaders Are Sons First
    May 18 2026
    Because the strongest leaders are not driven by titles, ambition, or recognition. They are sons first — secure enough to serve, humble enough to learn, and faithful enough to follow before they ever lead others. Great leadership begins with good followership.

    The best leaders are teachable, accountable, and willing to walk under authority before they are entrusted with authority. They understand that before God calls someone to lead publicly, He often teaches them to follow faithfully in private.

    In this episode, Hannes van den Heever and Greg Fenn, elders in JoshGen Mossel Bay, share their personal journeys of leadership, discipleship, growth, and learning what it means to lead from a place of sonship and surrender within the community.

    Join us as we explore the qualities that shape healthy leaders: character, humility, obedience, courage, servanthood, integrity, and spiritual maturity.

    Real leadership doesn’t begin on a platform. It begins with surrender, faithfulness, and the willingness to follow well.

  • Letters to My Younger Self

    Letters to My Younger Self
    May 11 2026
    We often sit down with guests who have walked through the joys, struggles, victories and disappointments of life, ministry, marriage and calling… and ask a simple but powerful question: What would you say to your younger self? What would you do differently?

    What lessons were learned the hard way?

    How has time, experience and faith changed the way you see life today?

    In this episode, Steve and Cathy Corkill, who serve as an eldership couple with JoshGen Mossel Bay, look back over many years of marriage and ministry, reflecting honestly on the journey behind them — the challenges, the grace of God, the things they would change, and the advice they would pass on to the next generation.

    Whether you’re young and searching for direction, or older and reflecting on your own journey, we hope these conversations encourage you, strengthen your faith, and remind you that wisdom is often written through the ordinary moments of life.
