  • Letters to My Younger Self

    Letters to My Younger Self
    May 11 2026
    We often sit down with guests who have walked through the joys, struggles, victories and disappointments of life, ministry, marriage and calling… and ask a simple but powerful question: What would you say to your younger self? What would you do differently?

    What lessons were learned the hard way?

    How has time, experience and faith changed the way you see life today?

    In this episode, Steve and Cathy Corkill, who serve as an eldership couple with JoshGen Mossel Bay, look back over many years of marriage and ministry, reflecting honestly on the journey behind them — the challenges, the grace of God, the things they would change, and the advice they would pass on to the next generation.

    Whether you’re young and searching for direction, or older and reflecting on your own journey, we hope these conversations encourage you, strengthen your faith, and remind you that wisdom is often written through the ordinary moments of life.

  • Legalism - When Rules Replace Relationship

    Legalism - When Rules Replace Relationship
    May 4 2026
    In this episode we’re looking at something that quietly slips into our churches and our hearts — legalism.

    What is it, really? Because the Bible is clear. In books like Galatians and Colossians, Paul warned not to add human rules to what God has already said.

    Legalism is more than strictness — it’s adding to Scripture, creating extra ‘do’s and don’ts,’ and then measuring spirituality by them. And if we’re honest, we’ve all seen it… and sometimes we’ve done it. So how do we recognise it?

    What does the Bible actually say?

    And how do we lead people out of it and back into the freedom of the gospel?

    Because legalism doesn’t produce life — it produces pressure, pride, or discouragement.

    But the gospel produces freedom.

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

    How Do I Know God's Will for My Life - QnA
    Apr 27 2026
    In our previous episode, we spent time exploring one of the most important and personal questions every believer asks at some point in life:

    “How do I find God’s will for my life?”

    We looked at what Scripture teaches, we talked about guidance, obedience, wisdom, and the role of God’s Word, prayer, and counsel in discerning His direction. That conversation clearly resonated, because many of you reached out with thoughtful, honest, and sometimes very practical questions.So today’s episode is a follow-up.

    This is a Question and Answer session based on that first discussion. We’re going to take the real questions that flowed out of the previous podcast and work through them carefully and biblically.

  • 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.

  • The Church's Responsibility to the Poor

    The Church's Responsibility to the Poor
    Mar 30 2026
    The church has always been called to care for the poor. From the Old Testament to the early church, Scripture makes it clear that compassion for those in need is not optional—it is part of faithful Christian living. We are called to show mercy, to give generously, and to help those who are suffering.

    But the church also has a unique mission. It is not simply a social agency or a government program. The church exists to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ and to make disciples. That raises an important question for our time: How do we care for the poor without losing our focus on the gospel?

    In recent years, the language of social justice has become more prominent in Christian circles. While the pursuit of justice and compassion is biblical, there is a danger when social action begins to replace gospel proclamation. The church must never forget that people’s greatest need is not only physical provision, but spiritual salvation.

    So the challenge is to find the right balance. The church must meet real needs, show real love, and serve the poor faithfully—while keeping the gospel at the very center of its mission.

    In simple terms:

    We care for the poor because of the gospel, and we proclaim the gospel because it is the greatest gift we can give to the poor.

  • Hospitality - Open Homes Open Hearts

    Hospitality - Open Homes Open Hearts
    Mar 23 2026
    In this episode Chantelle Searle and Kim Muller talk about real biblical hospitality. What is it? Where do we begin? And is it for everyone? When we read the Bible, hospitality is not an optional extra—it is part of normal Christian life.

    In Romans 12, we are told to practice hospitality, and in 1 Peter 4, to offer hospitality without grumbling. Hospitality flows from the gospel, because Christ first welcomed us. But hospitality must come from the heart. Otherwise, it simply becomes entertainment—an event to impress rather than an expression of love.

    Hospitality can be messy and difficult at times. It might be inviting someone for a meal, hosting people for a weekend conference, or even opening your home for a season. Yet the difficulty does not remove the calling.

    So today we want to explore some practical ways to begin—even when hospitality feels daunting—because hospitality does not start with a perfect home, but with an open heart.
