  • Intercession - Standing in the Gap

    Intercession - Standing in the Gap
    Dec 8 2025
    Intercession is one of the most powerful yet often overlooked callings in a believer’s life. It goes beyond personal prayer—intercession shifts our focus from ourselves to standing before God on behalf of others. It is spiritual advocacy, partnership with Heaven, and a willingness to carry someone else’s burden in prayer.

    Scripture gives us a clear picture in Daniel, a man who confessed the sins of his nation and sought God’s mercy even when he personally wasn’t at fault. His intercession moved Heaven, released revelation, and impacted the future of his people. Daniel shows us that intercession is persistent, sacrificial, and aligned with God’s heart.

    The greatest example, though, is Jesus Christ, who ever lives to make intercession for us. He stands at the right hand of the Father as our Advocate and High Priest. And as His followers, we are invited into that same ministry—to join Jesus in standing in the gap for families, communities, and nations. Intercession isn’t for a select few; it’s a calling for every believer.

  • Standing Firm Against the Enemy

    Standing Firm Against the Enemy
    Dec 1 2025
    In Scripture, spiritual warfare isn’t about fear or chasing the supernatural — it’s the reality that unseen spiritual forces influence our world. But believers aren’t left defenseless. God gives us spiritual authority, not to control spiritual beings, but to stand firm, resist evil, and live aligned with His purpose.

    That authority has boundaries. We’re called to exercise it within the areas God has entrusted to us — our own lives, families, and responsibilities. When people try to confront spiritual powers outside that God-given sphere, they can step into confusion, fear, or unnecessary spiritual danger. True authority always flows from humility, dependence on God, obedience to His leading and a close relationship with Jesus. In this episode, Kassie du Plessis & Ruan Slabbert, elders in the life of JoshGen, look at:
    • What spiritual warfare really is
    • How to exercise authority wisely
    • And why stepping beyond God’s boundaries can be risky

  • Why Church History Matters

    Why Church History Matters
    Nov 24 2025
    In this episode we step back in time to better understand our faith today and explore the rich and often overlooked story of church history—why it matters, how it shapes what we believe, and why knowing our roots is essential for guarding truth.

    Throughout the centuries, the church has wrestled with questions, challenges, and controversies. These moments didn’t just fill textbooks—they forged the doctrines we hold today. Understanding that journey equips us to recognize sound teaching, stand firm against heresy, and appreciate the wisdom passed down through generations. Because in the end, truth isn’t new, and what’s new isn’t truth. While some doctrines have been rediscovered over time, none are waiting to be invented.

    So join Dylan Jones and Luke Hulley, both elders in the life of JoshGen, as they help us explore how the past impacts the present—and strengthens our faith for the future.

  • Understanding the Gift of Discernment

    Understanding the Gift of Discernment
    Nov 17 2025
    Today we’re talking about a powerful but often misunderstood spiritual gift—the gift of discerning of spirits. This God-given insight helps us recognize what is from the Holy Spirit, what’s simply human, and what may be influenced by the enemy.

    When used well, it brings clarity, protection, and wisdom to the church. But it’s important to distinguish true discernment from being critical or suspicious. The genuine gift reflects the Holy Spirit’s character—love, humility, and a desire to build up. A critical or suspicious spirit, however, assumes the worst, focuses on fault-finding, and often causes unnecessary division.

    In today’s episode, Shaun and Chantelle Searle who lead the JoshGen Gordon's Bay congregation and Dylan Jones who leads the Muiznebrg congregation, explore what this gift really is, how to grow in it, and how to exercise it in a healthy, Christ-centered way that strengthens the church.

  • Cessationism vs Continuationism: Are Spiritual Gifts for Then or Now?

    Cessationism vs Continuationism: Are Spiritual Gifts for Then or Now?
    Nov 10 2025
    Today, we’re stepping into one of the most discussed—and sometimes divisive—topics in the church: Are the gifts of the Holy Spirit still for today, or did they cease when ‘the perfect came’?

    Some say the miraculous gifts—prophecy, tongues, healing—were only for the apostolic age. Others believe the same power that filled the early church is still available to believers right now.

    In this episode, we’ll open Scripture, look at history, and ask: What did Paul really mean? What does it look like to walk in the power of the Spirit today—with wisdom, discernment, and love? Whether you come from a charismatic or conservative background, this conversation isn’t about taking sides—it’s about seeking truth together and letting God’s Word speak for itself.

    Jonathan Stanfield, lead pastor of Living Hope in the Isle of Man, and Dan Barnard who leads the JoshGen AM Congregation in Sunningdale, share some insights around this important subject.

  • Charlie Kirk and Christian Nationalism

    Charlie Kirk and Christian Nationalism
    Nov 3 2025
    Christian Nationalism — it’s a phrase that stirs up a lot of heat—and not always a lot of light. Some say believers should reclaim political power to enforce biblical values. Others warn it confuses God’s Kingdom with the kingdoms of this world.

    So where should the Church stand? Should we be shaping laws or shaping hearts? Can we really legislate Christian beliefs for those who don’t know Christ?

    Jesus said, ‘My kingdom is not of this world,’ yet He also called us the light of the world. In today’s episode, we’ll look at where faith meets politics, what true influence looks like for believers, and even consider voices like Charlie Kirk — asking, does this reflect biblical Christianity or something else?

    Luke Hulley and Mike Davies, elders in JoshGen, talk about what it really means to follow the King, not a party.

  • Is Healing For Everyone - Always?

    Is Healing For Everyone - Always?
    Oct 27 2025
    Is healing for everyone, always? If God can heal — why doesn’t He heal everyone we pray for?
    And what does the Bible really say about healing, faith, and suffering? For some, healing brings hope. For others, it brings confusion, doubt, and even disappointment. We read stories of miracles in Scripture, and we hear testimonies of healing today — yet sometimes, despite sincere prayer and deep faith, healing doesn’t come. And people are left wondering: Did I not have enough faith? Did God ignore me? Did I fail somehow? But biblical truth clears the confusion: faith is not “faith in faith” — it’s faith in God.

    Healing is not powered by human belief or “faith healing.” True healing is always divine healing — it comes from God alone, according to His purpose, wisdom, and timing. Yes, God does heal — the Bible makes that clear. But the same Bible also speaks of suffering, trials, weakness, and perseverance. Sometimes God displays His power by removing the trial — and sometimes He displays His glory by sustaining us through it.

    As Paul said: “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9). This conversation is not about shallow answers. It’s about biblical faith, honest struggle, and real hope rooted in the character of God.

  • Navigating Change

    Navigating Change
    Oct 20 2025
    Change. It touches every one of us. Sometimes we choose it — like a new job, a move, or a personal goal — and other times it crashes into our lives uninvited — loss, uncertainty, or unexpected disruptions. But one thing is certain: change is not optional — it’s inevitable. The real question is how we navigate it.

    In today’s episode, we’re going to explore what change really is, why it’s often uncomfortable, and how we can respond to it in a way that builds faith instead of fear. We’ll talk practically about navigating seasons of transition — whether in work, relationships, church, or personal life — and discover that change isn’t actually our enemy. When God is in it, change becomes a tool He uses to shape us, stretch us, and lead us into His purposes.

    God's Word reminds us that while everything around us may shift and move, God Himself never changes. Hebrews 13:8 says: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.” So while life may feel uncertain, we don’t walk through change alone — we walk with the One who holds our future and leads us step by step.
