Summary

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

  • Legalism - When Rules Replace Relationship
    May 4 2026
    In this episode we’re looking at something that quietly slips into our churches and our hearts — legalism.

    What is it, really? Because the Bible is clear. In books like Galatians and Colossians, Paul warned not to add human rules to what God has already said.

    Legalism is more than strictness — it’s adding to Scripture, creating extra ‘do’s and don’ts,’ and then measuring spirituality by them. And if we’re honest, we’ve all seen it… and sometimes we’ve done it. So how do we recognise it?

    What does the Bible actually say?

    And how do we lead people out of it and back into the freedom of the gospel?

    Because legalism doesn’t produce life — it produces pressure, pride, or discouragement.

    But the gospel produces freedom.

  • How Do I Know God's Will for My Life - QnA
    Apr 27 2026
    In our previous episode, we spent time exploring one of the most important and personal questions every believer asks at some point in life:

    “How do I find God’s will for my life?”

    We looked at what Scripture teaches, we talked about guidance, obedience, wisdom, and the role of God’s Word, prayer, and counsel in discerning His direction. That conversation clearly resonated, because many of you reached out with thoughtful, honest, and sometimes very practical questions.So today’s episode is a follow-up.

    This is a Question and Answer session based on that first discussion. We’re going to take the real questions that flowed out of the previous podcast and work through them carefully and biblically.

  • How Do I Know God's Will for My Life
    Apr 20 2026
    In this episode we tackle one of the most common and deeply personal questions many believers ask:

    How do I know God’s will for my life?
    hould I take this job?
    Should I move to another city?
    Should I marry this person?
    Should I start this ministry?

    Many live with uncertainty, anxiety, or even fear, wondering if they might somehow miss God’s will. Others are waiting for a sign, a feeling, a prophecy or a special revelation before they act. But, what does the Bible actually say?

    In this episode, we’re going to open the Scriptures and look carefully at four foundational questions:
    • What is God’s will according to the Bible?
    • What is the difference between God’s general will and His specific will for my life?
    • How do I make decisions that honor God without falling into confusion or superstition?
    • And when should I seek godly counsel from elders and mature believers?
    So today, we’re going to replace confusion with clarity, and anxiety with biblical confidence. Because discovering God’s will is not about chasing secret messages—it’s about walking in obedience to what God has already revealed.

    Michael D'Offay and Jeff Kidwell, elders in the life of JoshGen, share their personal experience and journeys on finding God's will.
