  • De-Mystifying Deliverance

    De-Mystifying Deliverance
    Jan 19 2026
    Deliverance is a word that often brings confusion, curiosity, or even fear. For some, it’s associated with dramatic encounters and intense moments. For others, it raises honest questions they’ve never felt free to ask.

    Today, we want to slow down and bring clarity. In this episode, we’re de-mystifying deliverance. What is deliverance? What are demons? Can a believer have a demon? And what’s the difference between demon possession and demonic oppression?

    At its core, deliverance is about freedom—freedom from Satan and his demons, and freedom to walk fully in what Jesus has already accomplished. It’s not about hype or fear; it’s about truth, authority, and wholeness in Christ. And while some deliverance experiences are dramatic, many are gentle moments of freedom—where peace replaces torment and truth replaces lies.

    Our goal today is simple: to explain, to equip, and to point back to Jesus, the One who sets captives free. Dave and Keena James, an eldership couple from JoshGen City Bowl, share their experiences with deliverance.

  • Love your Kids - Love Jesus More

    Love your Kids - Love Jesus More
    Jan 12 2026
    Children change everything—our schedules, our priorities, and often, our faith. As parents, we wrestle with big questions.

    Should family life revolve around our children—their needs, their future, their success?
    Are we meant to chase sport, achievement, and endless activities in the hope of giving them every advantage? But beneath that lies something deeper.

    Where do our children fit in the Kingdom of God? What is their place in church life—not just in programs, but in worship, community, and belonging? Are our kids spectators of faith, or are they being formed as active participants in the people of God? What comes first—Jesus or our children?

    And what if following Jesus means inviting our kids into a shared life of faith, where church is not an event we attend, but a community we belong to together? How do we pursue God wholeheartedly, raise children who truly belong, and still make space for marriage along the way? These questions shape our homes, our churches, and the faith our children grow into.

  • When Faith Feels Risky

    When Faith Feels Risky
    Jan 5 2026
    What does it really mean to live by faith? So often, especially in ministry circles, living by faith is reduced to finances—raising support, trusting God for provision, or serving without a salary. And while money can certainly be part of the story, it’s far from the whole picture.

    Living by faith is bigger than a bank account. It’s about trusting God with every area of our lives—our decisions, our relationships, our calling, our future, and even our very existence. It’s waking up each day believing that God is who He says He is, and that He can be trusted with what we cannot see.

    Living by faith doesn’t always feel safe. Sometimes it’s risky. Sometimes it requires us to step forward without clarity, to move before we feel ready, and to obey without guarantees. It’s not reckless—but it is careful courage, grounded in full reliance on God.

    In this episode, we’ll explore what it truly means to live by faith—not just when it’s convenient, but when it costs us something. When trust replaces control. When obedience matters more than outcomes. And when our confidence rests not in ourselves, but in the faithfulness of God. This is a journey of learning to trust Him—fully, daily, and wholeheartedly.

  • Entertainment or Entertaining the Enemy

    Entertainment or Entertaining the Enemy
    Dec 29 2025
    As believers, we live in a world overflowing with entertainment—movies, shows, music, and media that constantly compete for our attention. Some of it inspires us. Some of it challenges us. And some of it quietly pulls us away from God and who He is calling us to be.

    Here, we’re asking the hard but necessary questions:

    What should we be watching—and what should we walk away from?
    Where do we draw the line between discernment and legalism?
    How do we navigate fantasy, witchcraft, and symbolic storytelling through a biblical lens?

    And how do we honour the truth that what may be permissible for one believer may not be beneficial for another—without using grace as an excuse or causing others to stumble? This isn’t about creating rules—it’s about cultivating wisdom and Biblical discernment.

    It’s about guarding our hearts, renewing our minds, and learning how to engage culture without being consumed by it. This is a place for honest conversation, biblical reflection, and grace-filled clarity—because what we consume shapes us more than we often realize.

    Mike D'Offay and Dan Barnard, elders in the life of JoshGen, share wisdom, principles and perspective when it comes how we should discern between truth and error for ourselves and our families.

  • Christmas - A Gospel Opportunity.

    Christmas - A Gospel Opportunity.
    Dec 22 2025
    Christmas is more than lights, music, and traditions—it’s a season when hearts are softer and conversations about faith feel more natural. It’s often the one time of year when people who don’t follow Jesus are more open to asking why Christmas is celebrated at all.

    For many of us, this includes our own unsaved family members—those we love deeply but often find it difficult to share our faith with. During Christmas gatherings, shared traditions, and moments of reflection, doors open that are usually closed. Invitations to church services or simple Gospel conversations are often received with a willingness that doesn’t exist the rest of the year.

    In this podcast, we’ll explore how the Christmas season gives us a unique and powerful opportunity to lovingly share our faith, invite others to encounter the message of Jesus, and point hearts toward the true reason for Christmas—God with us.

  • The Rapture - When is Jesus returning?

    The Rapture - When is Jesus returning?
    Dec 15 2025
    Is there really going to be a rapture of the Church?
    Does the Bible actually teach it—or is it a modern invention?

    And if the word “rapture” isn’t even found in Scripture, why do so many Christians believe in it? Over the years, predictions have come and gone—like claims that Jesus would return on specific dates, including September 23rd—leaving many believers confused, skeptical, or even discouraged. Yet Scripture is clear: no one knows the day or the hour of Christ’s return—not the angels, and not even the Son, but the Father alone. In this episode, we’re going to open the Bible and ask honest questions.

    We’ll look at what Scripture really says about Christ’s return, where the idea of the rapture comes from, and whether it’s something Christians should expect. Most importantly, we’ll ask this: How should we live in light of Christ’s coming?
    Not in fear.
    Not in date-setting.
    But with watchfulness, holiness, and urgency—living as if Christ could return at any moment, while faithfully reaching the lost with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Because whether you call it the rapture, the catching away, or the blessed hope, one truth remains certain: Jesus is coming again—and that reality should shape how we live today.

  • Intercession - Standing in the Gap

    Intercession - Standing in the Gap
    Dec 8 2025
    Intercession is one of the most powerful yet often overlooked callings in a believer’s life. It goes beyond personal prayer—intercession shifts our focus from ourselves to standing before God on behalf of others. It is spiritual advocacy, partnership with Heaven, and a willingness to carry someone else’s burden in prayer.

    Scripture gives us a clear picture in Daniel, a man who confessed the sins of his nation and sought God’s mercy even when he personally wasn’t at fault. His intercession moved Heaven, released revelation, and impacted the future of his people. Daniel shows us that intercession is persistent, sacrificial, and aligned with God’s heart.

    The greatest example, though, is Jesus Christ, who ever lives to make intercession for us. He stands at the right hand of the Father as our Advocate and High Priest. And as His followers, we are invited into that same ministry—to join Jesus in standing in the gap for families, communities, and nations. Intercession isn’t for a select few; it’s a calling for every believer.

  • Standing Firm Against the Enemy

    Standing Firm Against the Enemy
    Dec 1 2025
    In Scripture, spiritual warfare isn’t about fear or chasing the supernatural — it’s the reality that unseen spiritual forces influence our world. But believers aren’t left defenseless. God gives us spiritual authority, not to control spiritual beings, but to stand firm, resist evil, and live aligned with His purpose.

    That authority has boundaries. We’re called to exercise it within the areas God has entrusted to us — our own lives, families, and responsibilities. When people try to confront spiritual powers outside that God-given sphere, they can step into confusion, fear, or unnecessary spiritual danger. True authority always flows from humility, dependence on God, obedience to His leading and a close relationship with Jesus. In this episode, Kassie du Plessis & Ruan Slabbert, elders in the life of JoshGen, look at:
    • What spiritual warfare really is
    • How to exercise authority wisely
    • And why stepping beyond God’s boundaries can be risky
