Walking in the Spirit is essential to our walk with Jesus as believers. What does it mean to walk in step with the Holy Spirit? How do this on a daily basis? Where do our renewed minds fit into this? Some call themselves people of the Word while others people of the Spirit. What is the relationship between the Holy Spirit and the Word of God? Melanie du Toit, who is a prophetic voice in the life of JoshGen, together with elders Dan Barnard and Brett Bevan share some of the principles and practical steps they have learned about walking in step with the Spirit.

In this episode we hear the amazing adoption stories of two couples as they share their remarkable journeys to adoption. How did they hear God's voice? When did they know it was right for them? Where did their journeys start and how did they overcome the many challenges?

Before we answer how to get the most out of our Bibles, we should ask the question of why we need to read our Bibles regularly. How much should we read daily? Should we spend much time in the Old Testament as New Testament believers? After reading the whole Bible how do we dig deeper? These and other questions are answered by our team, Mike D'Offay, Luke Hulley, elders in the life of JoshGen, together with Dan and Sam Barnard who serve as an eldership couple in Sunningdale.

Jesus came to reconcile us to God through His death on the cross. The is the most powerful miracle He ever performed, yet, we see Christian marriages destroyed or crippled by Satan. Many people see and believe in healings and miracles as the ultimate power of God but when it comes to marriages in trouble often will head down the divorce route. But, God is primarily in the reconciliation business and after salvation the miracle of marriage restoration rising out of destroyed relationships is the greatest. In this episode Demitri and Karen Nikiforus, an eldership couple from JoshGen Wynberg, share their wonderful miracle of reconcialition in their marriage.

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.

At what age should a parent or Kids Church team introduce a child to Jesus? Is there a minimum age at which we should do this? What about baptism? Is there a minimum age? Should parents give their consent? Is leading a child to salvation the responsibiity of the parents or the church? These are some of the tough questions our two guest eldership couples who lead JoshGen's kids ministry, Deon and Kim Delport and Ian and Kate Jonker answer for us. 

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.

With the recent fire devastation in California and the world coverage of the disaster coupled with social media reporting many Christians are asking the question, "Does God judge the world through natural disasters?" Are Christians protected from disasters? What does the Bible say about God and His judgement? Does God use natural disasters for His own purposes? These and other questions are answered with a Biblical perspective by our team of Mike D'Offay, Luke Hulley and Dan Barnard, who serve as elders in the life of JoshGen.

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.

***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.
