Nizenande Machi is the managing director of Karani leadership and co-founder of Lucho Lunako ( check these organisations out, you will thank me later). She graced the podcast to discuss a hard topic for us Christian women; feminism, women leading and being bold. She went beyond rising to the occasion and will definitely leave you burning with a fire in your belly.

It is bold to show up as a woman and be vulnerable and say, ‘hey I think I have an answer here or I think I have a solution here.’There are many voices saying you can despite, I want to be the voice that says you can because. It is because you are nervous and scared that you should or that you can. It is because you think that you are not the best person to do it that you are the best person to do it. That is backed in the word; the meek shall inherit the world. The heart that doesn’t centre itself God will honour. - Nizenande

Tebello is a phenomenal woman pursuing a passion for evangelism and ministry and her PHD in law. Moved to talk about what started as a question of celibacy and purity...

1st Peter 1:16 Be holy, because I am holy

Some of the myths that come from purity culture opposed to the actual word of God.

The purity culture presents an unwhole truth, we start to believe God rewards us for our good works of remaining virgins. Then when we don’t find husbands or when we find one who perhaps cheats we feel cheated by God Himself because the purity culture promised us that if we behave God will reward us and that is not the full truth of the gospel….

The truth without authenticity often found in purity culture is burdensome, it expects people to follow laws. It is not the truth that is freeing, and it creates hidden sins.

Arielle is a breathe of fresh air on these streets! What a real voice that points you to Jesus in every season but she did so exceptionally in this episode, to help us understand how God stripping us can be good!

 

'Understanding God for God'

 

Hosea 1:14-17

 

14 “Therefore, behold, I will allure her,

Will bring her into the wilderness,

And speak 7comfort to her.

15 I will give her her vineyards from there,

And nthe Valley of Achor as a door of hope;

She shall sing there,

As in othe days of her youth,

pAs in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.

16 “And it shall be, in that day,”

Says the Lord,

“That you will call Me 8‘My Husband,’

And no longer call Me 9‘My Master,’

17 For qI will take from her mouth the names of the Baals,

And they shall be remembered by their name no more.

Mercy and Felix Koimburi are a phenomenal couple. Kenyans who studied in South Africa currently living and ministering in Mozambique. They are wise and witty! Do enjoy!

Oh man what an important message. Ever met or been someone who has been in church for a long time but cannot really read the bible yourself, cannot pray with confidence and feel you are not growing spiritually. Churches are packed, disciples are few. We discuss training for discipleship with Chere. You can contact him at [email protected] and find Vaal Navigators page. He is crisp and passionate! Do listen in! We can be made disciples!!

The episode you have needed, one for the hour! Listen here to Thando talking about rising from rock bottom. Thando is a dynamite and you can follow her on instagram @thandos_heart. Enjoy, share, listen and subscribe.

Would you take 18 - 24 months off work to embark on a training program based on discipleship and equipping straight after completing your postgraduate studies? The program is ministry related and your work is not, there are people in your life who don't approve and expect of you financially. I sat down with Jonas to explore how he made the decision and why he does not regret trusting God and does not feel like he is behind in his career.

'I don't feel okay if I said I'm going to do something and I don't do it. It just does not sit well with me.'

 

Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,

neither are your ways my ways,”

declares the LORD.

“As the heavens are higher than the earth,

so are my ways higher than your ways

and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

Church folk can be so strange when it comes too dating. It is borderline annoying. I sat down with Tatenda with the hopes that he'd help clarify why church guys don't find bae in church. Do enjoy and stay encouraged on your journey of dreaming with God, whether it is for disciples, career growth or a bae!
