About this listen

 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

  • How Do I Know God's Will for My Life

    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.

  • Assisted Pregnancy - A Biblical View

    Assisted Pregnancy - A Biblical View
    Apr 13 2026
    In a world where marriage is increasingly undervalued, many Christian couples who long for children find themselves facing difficult and emotional decisions when pregnancy does not come easily.

    Modern medicine offers a range of assisted pregnancy options, but these can raise important biblical and ethical questions. What should a couple do when they are struggling to conceive? What choices are available? And which options are consistent with the teaching of Scripture? In this podcast, we explore both sides — the medical alternatives and the biblical principles that should guide Christian couples seeking to honor God in this sensitive area.

    Helping us navigate this complex topic are Mike and Adrienne D'Offay, an eldership couple in Joshua Generation, together with Dr Louise Dauth, a general practitioner with a special interest in women’s health. Our desire is to provide clarity, compassion, and biblical wisdom for couples walking this challenging journey.

  • Manning up - The Man Your Family Needs

    Manning up - The Man Your Family Needs
    Apr 6 2026
    We are living in a confusing time for men.
    On one side, men are told to step back, soften, and suppress strength.
    On the other side, when they step forward, they are accused of being controlling or toxic.

    Many men feel caught between emasculation and accusation.

    But the real question is not:
    “What does society say a man should be?”
    The real question is:
    “What kind of man does God call a man to be?”

    Families don’t need perfect men.
    They need faithful men.
    Present men.
    Responsible men.

    Manning up is not about dominance.
    It is about responsibility.
