In this second instalment on steps for a young man to take to find a wife, we learn more principles from the life of Isaac.

The 2026 local elections could shape South Africa’s future—but how should Christians approach the ballot box? The ANC has led the nation into decay, while the DA promises reform but promotes values contrary to Scripture. Should believers still vote—and if so, how? In this episode, we explore three vital questions: Does God call us to vote? What are we doing when we vote? And what must we consider before we vote? Discover how your vote can be an act of love for your neighbour and a stand for righteousness in a fallen political landscape.

From the life of Isaac we find some crucial principles on how a young man can go about finding a partner to spend the rest of his life with.

Every few years, another bold claim surfaces: “Jesus is coming back this weekend!” From William Miller’s Great Disappointment to South Africa’s Joshua Mhlakela, history is full of failed predictions about the Lord’s return. But why do Christians keep falling for them? In this episode, we unpack three biblical lessons: why dreams and visions can’t replace Scripture, how Jesus’ divine and human natures explain His words about not knowing the hour, and what it truly means to live ready for His return. God hasn’t given us the date—because He wants us to walk by faith, not sight.

In Zimbabwe and across much of Africa, citizens often fear the very authorities meant to protect them. Police extortion, bribery, and corruption have become so normal that people instinctively avoid law enforcement. But what does Scripture say about such evil? In this episode, we expose the spiritual roots and devastating effects of extortion—from impoverishing the hard-working to eroding trust in authority. Drawing from John the Baptist’s call to repentance and Paul’s teaching in Romans 13, we confront this sin head-on and explore what true justice and humility before God look like. Corruption may thrive—but its end is certain.

As South Africa prepares to host the G20 Summit, an Interfaith Forum has called for global “unity” among religious leaders—including Christians, Catholics, and Mormons—to promote peace. But where should believers draw the line between cooperation and compromise? In this episode, we unpack the tension between civic partnership and spiritual purity. From Joseph in Egypt to Daniel in Babylon, Scripture shows that Christians can engage with unbelievers in society without sacrificing truth. How do we stay salt and light in the public square—while refusing to blur the gospel’s boundaries?

Across the world—and especially in Africa—there are more boys alive today than ever before. By 2050, 40% of the world’s children will live on the continent. But what kind of men will they become? In this episode, we explore why boys matter—biblically, historically, and culturally. From Isaac and Samuel to Patrick, Tyndale, and David, Scripture and church history remind us that strong nations are built on godly men. How can families, churches, and communities raise boys who love Christ, lead with courage, and reject the world’s confusion about masculinity? The future depends on the boys we build today.

South Africa’s highest court has ruled that husbands may now legally take their wives’ surnames—a decision hailed as a win for feminism and framed as undoing “colonial” and “Christian” influence. But what does Scripture say about headship, submission, and God’s design for marriage? Does a surname really carry spiritual and cultural significance, or is it just a modern tradition? In this episode, we unpack the biblical vision for marriage roles, examine how feminism reshapes culture and law, and explore why God’s design for husbands and wives matters far more than shifting societal norms.

In the providence of the LORD, we have been born into different tribes and nations, which are characterised by varying sounds, tastes, clothes, and customs. How should the Christian think through being a citizen of heaven, but belonging to different cultures and nations on earth?

Is the prosperity gospel the greatest threat to the church in Africa today? In 2025, church leaders from across the continent released the Africa Statement on Prosperity Gospel and Word of Faith Theology (ASPG)—a bold declaration meant to draw a clear line between biblical Christianity and false teaching. What makes this statement so significant? Why have creeds, confessions, and statements always played a crucial role in protecting the church? And how does the ASPG address issues like suffering, tithing, “little gods” theology, and pastoral abuse? Join us as we unpack the heart of this historic document.
